At work as in life

You need great crew.

Like us, our crew are loyal and here for the long haul.

If you book The Survey or Anchors Aweigh, you’ll work with Chantal Ireland. If we support you with Fractional Services or you’re ready for a brand strategy beyond the basics we go over, we introduce our team.

For brand strategy with deep research, packaging design, and creative implementation, we collaborate with Creative Director Cory Ripley, Principal of Exhibit A: Design Group. Cory’s been a trusted partner since 2011, when we worked together through Salt Spring Coffee.

When packaging isn’t built on strategy, you can feel it—when it’s time for a new product launch, or a look at what’s happening in the field. Cory’s work is built to last, and his award-winning packaging design becomes a foundation. Read about our first project together here.

For photography, videography, food styling, and other creative services, we work with a trusted network that understands how to visually bring a brand to life.

On custom Shopify builds and content projects, these partnerships make a real difference. A brand strategy needs great execution.
