We’re here for better.
Wickwire + Co. is a brand value creation consultancy focused on developing meaningful brand experiences that inspire people to engage, connect, and act with intention. We help businesses at pivotal moments to realize brand value on their path to growth.
We believe that there is a better way to partner, to collaborate, and to deliver impact. The marketing and advertising landscape has become accustomed to rewarding distraction over meaning and comparison over value. In an industry obsessed with incremental gains, we believe purpose, conviction, and perspective are the true drivers of long-term value.
Small but mighty.
We bring decades of hands-on experience helping early-stage ventures and Fortune 100 companies to launch, reconfigure, and reinvent.
We are one of the few creative consultancies of our size with a true venture focus. This means we selectively invest our own resources (and capital) in the ideas and businesses we believe in. While many agencies are trying to transition to a fee-for-performance model, our "invest-in-your-potential" model truly bolsters our position in the market. It guarantees alignment and ensures our focus is on results—not a 2% lift in impressions or passing hours of overhead onto our partners.
That feels better.
Help businesses launch, pivot, and grow in an increasingly complex landscape.
We do this in three ways:
What we do.
-
Widen your MOAT. We provide counsel from one leader to another. Whether you’re facing AI disruption, market saturation, or a stagnating culture, we help you find (or rediscover) your epiphany and build a new foundation to support it.
Focus: Brand Health Diagnostic, Growth Strategy, Narrative Architecture, Audience Intelligence, AI Enablement.
-
Manifesting what makes your business 1 of 1. If strategy is the blueprint, creative is the render. We build dynamic, modular brand systems designed to connect in the real world, not a slide deck. We create experiences that turn consumers into evangelists.
Focus: Brand Identity, Integrated Campaigns, Content Creation, Platform Development.
-
Sometimes we believe in the idea so much, we bet on it. We are one of the few creative partners of our size that puts our money where our mouth is. We take an opportunistic approach to investing in businesses we believe in, with our own resources and capital.
Focus: Seed Investment, Equity for Services, Performance-Based Fees, Strategic Acquisitions.
Note: If you think we'd be a match, reach out. We're always looking for the next category-definer.
Through partnership and dedication. We have been a part of the heavy, slow agency model and decided to eliminate the smoke, and take down the mirrors. In its place we subscribe to a refreshingly flexible approach - adapting our process and team to your reality.
How we engage.
-
You have a specific problem; we have a lean solution. From a half-day workshop to a full launch, we consult, align on a plan, and get you to market.
-
For high-growth teams that need a co-pilot. We act as your fractional CSO or creative engine, building the strategies and systems your internal team can take a run with.
-
Direct support for the C-Suite to align brand, culture, and bottom-line growth.
Brand experience.
Our experience covers a wide spectrum of businesses: B2B to B2C and B2B2C, DTC to CPG, entertainment to education, fashion to food, wealth to wellness, and many in between.
Beliefs and values.
Alignment and respect.
Great work and partnerships exist when you have moral and incentive alignment.
We value: people (ours and yours), purpose, and profit—always in that order.
Honesty and transparency.
Strategies not based on the truth result in creative work that misses the mark or misses your audience entirely. We insist on honesty from the very start and transparency for the duration.
Vision.
Vision drives value much more than a 2% lift in impressions.
Collaboration.
We adapt our process to fit yours and become a unified working team aligned on the definition of success—for the project, the relationship, the business, AND the financial outcome.
Think big, act small.
Think big and lead with a healthy dose of imagination and curiosity. Act small and apply our understanding of finance and capital investment to ensure we deliver the maximum return on dollars spent.
Let’s have fun.
Our work together should be fun. Challenging is ok, but if it is exhausting we are doing it wrong.
