Clear Brand Strategy was born from a simple observation: Many companies offer incredible value but struggle to tell their story effectively. Founded by Jamie Saunders and Karen Larson, we combine strategic thinking with communication expertise to turn your strengths into market success.

What sets us apart? We're an owner-led agency that combines big-agency experience with boutique-level attention. From global corporations to growing businesses, we deliver strategic clarity and focused execution that exceeds expectations.

We believe effective manufacturing marketing requires three essential elements:

Strategic Foundation:
Every decision based on data and direction

Technical Understanding: Speaking your language, respecting your expertise

Creative Excellence:
Making complex information clear and compelling

This unique blend of strategic thinking and technical understanding has helped clients achieve remarkable results: powerful organic and paid growth, national distribution networks, and marketing programs that actually drive businesses forward. We're not just another marketing agency—we're strategic partners who understand the unique challenges of manufacturing and industrial companies.
