20+ years in brand and marketing strategy. Built from a moral filter, not a pitch deck. Based in Pikeville, Kentucky. Operating everywhere.
He founded Loveland Brand Design in 2008. Formalized as an LLC in 2018. Built it on the belief that most businesses are underserved by the marketing industry. Oversold on tactics, undersupported on strategy, and left holding deliverables that do not connect.
LBD exists to fix that. Strategy first. Fixed scope. No hourly. No retainers. Work we can defend on its own merits.
LBD is headquartered in Pikeville, KY. Embedded in the Catalyze EKY entrepreneurial ecosystem. This region is underserved by the kind of marketing infrastructure most businesses elsewhere take for granted. We are building it here first.
We work with clients across the country. The EKY base is not a limitation. It is a position. The businesses doing the hardest, most essential work are often the ones with the least marketing support. That is the problem we exist to solve.
Complex problems deserve clear solutions. We remove friction from strategy, execution, and communication. For ourselves and our clients.
Everything we build is designed to run without constant intervention. Systems compound. One-offs do not.
We tell you if you are not a fit. Every client we take is one we can serve well and whose work we can defend. We do not stretch the definition.
Clients should not have to become marketers to grow their business. Our systems give them their bandwidth back.
We say what is true, not what is comfortable. That applies to fit assessments, scope conversations, and performance reporting.
