Welcome.
For much of my career, I thought of myself as a consultant hired by brands like Mutual of Omaha, Airstream, Waymo, Oracle, and Sovos to help solve creative and strategic challenges.
But over time I realized something. It wasn’t about brands at all. It was about people. My clients were the CEO, CMO, Managing Partner, CRO, Head of Culture, and SVP of Advertising. And with the most successful engagements, there was one consistent golden thread… the kind of leader who brought me in.
Courageous.
Visionary.
Compassionate.
It became clear that my best clients trust the instinct that there is a better way for their organizations. The ones who take risks and fight against the status quo. These are the people who invite me to partner with them to imagine new futures, solve unique problems, and build the unexpected.
“Guided by a unique feel, Todd operates with a heart-driven mindset at the intersection of strategy and creative. His fearless persistence carried us through our growth and eventual acquisition.” Todd Lachman, Founder, Sovos Brands
“Todd’s talent is to inspire his clients to see their objectives and solutions through a lens they’d never anticipate.” John Hildenbiddle, former SVP Brand Management & PR, Mutual of Omaha
“I can’t explain how it works. It just does.”
Mollie Hansen, Chief Marketing Officer, Airstream
“Todd helps us discover and tell the stories we didn’t even know we needed to tell.” Arezoo Riahi, Head of Culture & People Development, Waymo
This is a mix of counsel, coaching, and curiosity. It’s the conversations that come before the work. Sometimes they result in a re-imagined corporate culture, a creative direction that finally feels right, a story you didn’t know how to tell, a decision you’d been avoiding, a campaign, a mission, an acquisition. Always it’s the unlock that wouldn’t have happened without the provocation.
Fair warning: this work is not for everyone. Maybe it’s not for you. That’s completely okay. I get it. It can get uncomfortable. But when it does… it usually means we’re creating something special.
You know if any of this is calling you. Reach out. Let’s talk about creating a playground of candor, discovery, and surprising results.
