Cohere has been at the intersection of place and food for over 15 years, creating brands with longevity.
01. About
The root word Cohere is about cohesion—when all parts of the story connect, we engage the right audiences. Our clients' projects are more successful when we can employ our guiding principles; overlapping shared values and interest, to create something more impactful together.
Our specialty is the branding and marketing of the built environment, mainly for the hospitality industry. But as brands find ways to connect directly with consumers online, we have learned the art of marketing as well. In addition to those core competencies, we have some advisors on our team who also guide the growth of companies, strategic plans and “how” to get there. These skill sets are utilized by our partners to expand their capacity, telling stories of a building or brand both in person and online. Recently, our team has been winning world-class awards for their work.
