You're great at what you do. Marketing was never supposed to be your job too.

You've been the best-kept secret in your industry for years. Your work is excellent. Your customers know it. Almost nobody else does.

Maybe you're wearing every hat in your business, and marketing landed on your plate along with everything else. You know it matters, but you don't have ten hours a week to figure out what's actually working.

Maybe you already hired someone. An agency, a freelancer, someone's nephew who was "good with computers." They overpromised. They underdelivered. They handed you reports full of numbers that didn't mean anything, and when you finally called to ask what happened, nobody called back.

Divergent Marketing and Branding exists to fix that, without the version of marketing help that burned you before.

How Can Better Branding Help Your Company Thrive?

  • I booked a one on one brand strategy session with Carly. I came in not sure what the next steps should be for my business and left with clear goals and an action plan in place. Carly was very prepared, professional and most of all listened to my needs to create an individualized strategy to meet my needs. Highly recommend Divergent Marketing and Branding and look forward to working with Carly again the future!

    Virginia A | Bom Dia Goods

  • Divergent Marketing and Branding has been such a great experience to work with. Instead of just giving generic marketing advice, Carly really takes the time to understand your business, your goals, and what makes you different. Her brand strategy guidance helped me get so much clearer on my direction, and the coaching I received has honestly boosted my confidence and helped me make smarter decisions. Highly recommend if you want support that’s actually helpful, practical, and personalized!

    Rebecca B | Raven Building Inspections

  • "Carly is absolutely outstanding. She proved to be so knowledgable and thoughtful throughout the whole session, really getting to understand my company so she could then truly help me. We went over some mind blowing stuff, and I walked out of my branding strategy session with a completely different mindset, and feel extremely confident in what my brand stands for, who my customers are, and how I can help them. I know this will immediately translate into more sales for me. The return I got from this session has already paid for itself when I was able to gain a new customer the same day using what I learned about myself and company."

    Nikki S | Exit 102 Properties

  • "Carly is incredible! She held a branding session with me to revamp my brand and marketing strategy for Spearhead Leadership and it was an absolute game changer for me and my business. Her ability to ask the right questions and identify the best strategy for each of her clients is unrivaled. She’s also updating my website and I couldn’t be happier with the progress. I’m thrilled to continue working with her!"

    John L | Spearhead Leadership

  • "Within a month I have gotten more value from Carly and Divergent than I did after 6 months with my previous coach. She completely reworked my process and strategy and I will be implementing it for the rest of my career. Cannot exaggerate how helpful this program has been."

    Brandon M. | AcquisitionCEO

  • "Carly has helped us at Meraki Performance go beyond simply marketing and branding. Her focus and intention to know us, our business, and most importantly our clients has been priceless. Carly has literally been able to give voice to who we are and what we offer on a scale we never could of done on our own. We are a client and will continue to be a client of Divergent Marketing and Branding."

    Dan H | Meraki Performance Coaching

  • Carly at Divergent Marketing and Branding has been working with my cleaning company. She helped us re-brand, completely rework our website, and creating a marketing plan for success. She has been amazing to work with. She is extremely fast to get work completed and incredibly responsive when it comes to communication. I will be using her for more of my business very soon!

    Zach M | Maid Gem

  • Carly has been a pivotal part of our team to help grow, and really understands our vision for the future. What she has done with email, content, and strategy has been exceptional! Highly recommended for anyone in need of these extremely important business components.

    Matt G | Fireside America

  • "Carly saved me and my business and was fun and easy to work with in the process. We had an in depth marketing strategy session where she recognized my strengths and found out what I needed to work on to make the biggest impact. She helped me the most with my copywriting and I learned how to fine tune my digital presence. As an e-commerce only business this is HUGE. My brand and my pocketbook owes her a ton. 10/10 would recommend."
