We Help Brands Tell Their Story
(to sell more of their stuff)
Element-M engineers brands for entrepreneurial companies, working exclusively with founders and principals. Founders and principals are different. They drive hard, shoot straight and take risks. Not only the soul of the company, they are the engine too. We are experts in translating their unique drive and determination into brands that work as hard as they do.
We Get You
We understand your company isn’t just a company to you; it’s your purpose, your personality, your passion and your livelihood all rolled into one. There’s so much at stake; everything developed for your brand must be perfectly aligned with your vision. To meet this critical objective, we use an entrepreneur-tested methodology to systematically explore your brand and company and leverage what sets it apart.
At Element-M, we help you sell more of what matters. We invent distinctive names for companies, products, and services. We write punchy copy and content that inspires. We design brand identity systems, visual content that stands-out, and inbound plans that drive traffic; we make your targets pay attention and move them to action.
We Help You Win
Our Process
We thoughtfully engineer your brand to be visually memorable, verbally distinctive and aligned with your vision. And we deliver this magic without large advertising budgets and decades of history typically associated with strong brands. How?
Process + talent + wisdom – BS = magic
Our entrepreneur-tested method provides a proven framework for our team to make a start-up appear as solid and established as a mature, trusted brand. Our method uncovers the truth that lies within your brand. We use a 3-step process:
Who the heck are you?
What problem do you solve?
Who should care?
What story are you telling?
How do you look and feel?
Where can you go from here?
Okay, now what?

About Us
Founded in 2009, Element-M is a lightning-rod agency that works with a diverse set of entrepreneurial businesses – engaging exclusively with founders and principals – with the sole mission of engineering stronger brands for greater market share and growth.
We’re small. We like being small, as it allows us to have a deeper connection and alignment with each client. This enhances our ability to deliver clear and effective strategies while working in perfect harmony with design. Conversely, every Element-M client is the proverbial big fish in our small pond…and they like it that way.
The Proof
Below are some of the brands we have worked with to help launch, grow and exit. This is a small reflection of many hours of research, client meetings, Red Bull-fueled creative sessions, gut checks and lots of do-overs copy edits – the tip of the iceberg. Like what you see and want to hear the whole story? Call us, we’d love to tell you.
