    Strategic Branding That Stands the Test of Time.

"I started this firm because I believe every business deserves a brand that actually works — one that attracts the right clients, reflects the quality of the work, and builds something that lasts."

Project Branding It Started with a Gut Feeling — and Grew into a Proven Process.

I founded Project Branding Co. in 2013 — not because had it all figured out, but because I knew two things clearly: I was meant to build something of my own, and I saw too many good businesses being held back by brands and marketing strategies that didn't reflect how good they actually were.
 

I started with what I knew best — website branding and SEO. And for over a decade, I built quietly. Every client came through a referral. Every engagement came from someone who had seen the work, trusted it, and passed the name along. That's the kind of reputation I'm proud of — one that was earned before it was marketed.

Over twelve years, I've helped business owners across industries rebrand with intention, establish systems that scale, and show up in their markets with the kind of confidence that comes from knowing your brand is doing its job. I've watched businesses transform when the strategy finally clicks — when the brand, the message, and the marketing all work together instead of against each other. That moment never gets old.

Why Now, Why AI

 The marketing landscape is shifting faster than it ever has — and the shift is real. AI-driven search, Answer Engine Optimization, Generative Engine Optimization — these aren't buzzwords. They're the new terrain that Utah business owners need to navigate if they want to stay visible, stay competitive, and keep attracting the clients they've worked hard to earn.
 

I'm not just selling AI strategy. I'm learning it alongside the businesses I serve. I'm in the courses, doing the work, building the knowledge base — because the only way I can help my clients integrate AI with integrity is to understand it at a level that's genuine. That's how I've always worked. Strategy first. Substance always.

Project Branding is evolving — expanding from brand strategy and SEO into AI integrations, AEO, GEO, and the full stack of what modern marketing requires. And I'm bringing to this evolution the same thing I've always brought: 12 years of real experience, a commitment to doing it right, and a genuine investment in the outcomes of the businesses I work with.

 

What I Believe

A few things I hold firmly — and that shape how Project Branding Co. works:

  • Strategy before tactics — Every tool, platform, and campaign only works as well as the strategy behind it. We start with clarity and build from there.

  • Your brand should do work — A brand isn't a logo or a color palette. It's the system your business uses to attract, convert, and retain the right clients. When it's built well, it works while you sleep.

  • AI should serve your brand — not replace it. The businesses winning with AI aren't the ones who replaced their voice with it. 
  • High-touch is not a luxury. It's the standard. You will always know where things stand, what's being built, and why.
