Brand transformation is the process of realigning your company’s verbal and visual identity to create a cohesive, consistent brand architecture that resonates with your target audience. This transformation strengthens your brand's presence in the market by ensuring that your messaging, design, and core values are unified across all touchpoints. The result is a powerful, enduring brand that drives recognition, trust, and long-term growth.

Sales-marketing alignment is the process of resolving friction between sales and marketing teams to ensure seamless collaboration and shared goals. By aligning their efforts, businesses can enhance customer acquisition, boost retention rates, and drive overall revenue growth through more effective and cohesive strategies. This alignment maximizes the impact of both teams and improves business outcomes.

About Us

Green downward arrow icon

At KJS, our mission is to empower start-ups, scale-ups, and small to mid-sized private enterprises with marketing strategies and action plans that catalyze growth and build foundational marketing capabilities.

Many consulting firms push costly monthly minimums and long contracts that small businesses can't afford. They often lock companies into contracts filled with upselling and vanishing hours, missing the full marketing picture. No matter how often you meet or how large the contract, they feel like outsiders who don't really understand your needs. 

​For startups, scale-ups, small to mid-sized, or family-run businesses, hiring a full-time CMO might not be the best use of their limited resources. Financial fluctuations make it impractical to commit to substantial, long-term financial commitments. Effective marketing should scale with growth, with tangible deliverables starting as soon as possible.

​Enter: K. Johnson Studio. We help businesses without a fully developed marketing department create a sustainable path forward, ensuring marketing supports their success. We do this by committing a strategic marketing executive to join your team, in a fractional position, to drive growth from within at a price point your business can afford.

 

As the business grows or the needs change, the fractional CMO can tap our team of pre-vetted subject matter experts and doers -  in web design, content, social media, videography, and more - to get things done. 

In the end it's about this: helping you enjoy the fun that comes along with a growing business. 

Worry less and achieve more with K. Johnson Studio.
