Starfish Ad Age

Behind every great strategy is a thousand questions, a hundred ideas, and one person connecting the dots.
For the last five years, that's been Cole.

From part-time graphic designer to Strategy Director, he's turned numbers into narratives and challenges into opportunities.

If you've worked with Cole, you know why clients love him. He doesn't just build strategies. He digs deeper, solves problems, follows through, and makes every client feel like a priority.

The praise we hear isn't about reports or dashboards. It's about the trust he's built and the impact he makes every day.

Not bad for a guy who started by moving pixels.
Happy 5 years, Cole. ⭐️
