- ABOUT CONSORT CREATIVE

We Build Brands for Businesses That Mean It.

Strategy before design. Clarity before execution.

We're a small, deliberate creative agency that works with businesses who take their brand seriously. We don't take on every project — we take on the ones where we believe we can make a meaningful difference.

- OUR STORY

Built for the Businesses That Build Everything Else.

Consort Creative was founded on a simple observation: the businesses that need great branding most are the ones who can access it least. Large agencies charge large-agency prices and move at large-agency pace. Freelancers are skilled but rarely offer the strategic depth a business needs at a critical growth moment.

I built Consort Creative to fill that space — a team with agency-level strategy and design capability, structured specifically to serve small and mid-sized businesses with the care their projects deserve.

"Consort" means companion — someone who travels alongside you. That's the relationship we're trying to build: not a vendor you hire and forget, but a creative partner invested in where your business is going.

- WHAT WE STAND FOR

The Principles That Guide Everything

Strategy First

We never start designing until we understand what we're designing for. Every logo, page, and campaign starts with a clear strategic question: what does this need to accomplish, and for whom?

Honest Over Comfortable

We tell clients the truth, even when it's not what they want to hear. If we think a direction is wrong, we say so. Our value is in our judgment, not our agreeableness.

Results Are the Standard

We don't consider a project finished when files are delivered. We consider it finished when it's working — converting visitors, generating inquiries, building recognition.

Small Teams, Full Attention

We deliberately limit how many projects we take on so every client gets our full attention. The people you talk to are the people who do the work.

The Long View

We build for where your business is going, not just where it is. The brands and websites we create are designed to grow with you — flexible, scalable, built on foundations that don't need rebuilding in two years.

Partnership, Not Vendor

"Consort" means companion. We're not a service you hire and forget. We're invested in your success because your success is how we build ours.

- THE TEAM

The People Who Do the Work

No account managers passing messages between you and a mystery creative team. The people you meet are the people who build your brand.

- OUR HISTORY

How We Got Here

2009

Founded in St. Louis

Joe founded Consort Creative after watching too many small businesses get burned by agencies that were too big to care. The original offering: brand strategy and identity design for businesses with $10K–$250K in revenue.

2012

Added Web Design

Clients kept asking "but who builds the website?" Joe shifted as Creative Director, bringing full web design and development in-house. The Discover + Design package was born.

2024

Launched Grow Services

Yvonne joined as Head of Growth, adding SEO, content marketing, and paid advertising. The three-stage Discover, Design, Grow model was formalised as the core client journey.

2025

Pioneered AI SEO for SMBs

As Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT search reshaped how people find businesses, Jamie built Consort's Generative Engine Optimization practice — one of the first agencies to offer this at small business budgets.

TODAY

50+ Brands Built

We've worked with businesses across 18 industries in 12 states, and two countries, from solo practitioners to 50-person companies. The mission hasn't changed: bring agency-level brand strategy to the businesses that need it most.
