If you like art and business (and some math/engineering), you could consider industrial design or industrial engineering.
Syracuse University could be good they have a large range of studies you might be interested in. But this one sounds like it's the perfect fit of what you described: https://www.syracuse.edu/academics/programs/communications-design/. Also I think some of the biggest businesses in the country/world show up to Syracuse for job recruiting so that's a plus. They only have co-ops for engineering students though.
Here's some of their other majors you could look into:
https://www.syracuse.edu/academics/programs/industrial-interaction-design/, https://www.syracuse.edu/academics/programs/digital-humanities/, https://www.syracuse.edu/academics/programs/computer-art-animation/,
Emerson College would be another strong fit as it's basically and arts/business school https://emerson.edu/programs/business-creative-enterprises-ba
Cooper Union School of Art is in NYC, everyone gets a 50% tuition scholarship, and you can minor in econ in that major. It's a strong art program in NYC so you'll have tons of networking opportunities at your disposal but you could consider to get an MBA after if needed https://cooper.edu/sites/default/files/uploads/assets/admissions/school_of_art.pdf
CMU is really strong in the arts/design and has an interdisciplinary major track https://www.cmu.edu/admission/majors-programs/college-of-fine-arts/school-of-design

you should do University of Rhode Island as your safety
Clark University has a really good balance of business and digital media programs https://www.clarku.edu/programs/majors-and-minors/
Emmanuel College has this Communication & Media Studies major https://www.emmanuel.edu/academics/academic-study/schools/school-humanities-social-sciences/undergraduate-programs/english-writing-communication/communication-media-studies
and digital marketing, digital media production minors. You could also choose to major in marketing or business adminitttation and then minor in those two.
The biggest thing to keep in mind is that marketing programs are typically specializations of business administration programs at most schools so they'll have the same core classes. But the BA is general so your electives could be in finance, management, human resources and marketing. Whereas marketing most of your electives will be in marketing. Because they're fundamentally similar at some universities, if you're already majoring in a business degree they might not let you double major or minor in business administration because it'd be too redundant. Again this is depending on how each school structure it but that's something I would be aware of
