How we’re different

How we differ from big consulting:

Top work, fair rates

We’re senior leaders with deep experience, but we’re all about efficiency: streamlined processes, low overhead, and no bloat.

We move fast

As leaders who have worked with big consulting firms, we know how long they can take to deliver real value. Speed wins.

Strategy AND execution

Many consultants tell you what to do, then move on. We not only provide recommendations, but can also execute the work.

How we differ from typical ad agencies:

Business-first marketers

While most agencies’ focus on creative, Carpentry balances business strategy, financial acumen, and full-stack marketing.

We’ve been in your shoes

We’ve been in-house marketers, so we know how important it is to deliver results, not just ideas and vanity metrics.

Low overhead

No foosball tables, pricey coffee makers, or boondoggles here. We’re motivated by doing great work, and keep costs reasonable as a result.

How we differ from in-house teams:

Scale up or down

Your team is stretched. We can be turned on or off—whether it’s a single project or as an ongoing extension of your team.

We bring outside perspective

As former in-house marketers, we get the echo chamber. We provide an outside perspective driven by market trends.

No admin burden

In-house teams have the curse of meeting overload, HR requests, and internal politics. We’re free to do great work.
