Utendahl

About

A creative consultancy for decisive moments.

Utendahl Consultancy is a strategy and branding studio built around two ways of working with Madison Utendahl.

For branding engagements, Madison develops the strategy and creative direction, then handpicks the senior designer best suited to bring the work to life. The client gets Madison's leadership at every stage — plus a specialist team assembled for the project — rather than being handed off through a traditional agency structure.

For strategy, interim CBO, and advisory engagements, the work is held directly with Madison. This is the senior leadership and one-on-one counsel that founders and executives need, without the overhead of a full-time hire or the distance of a traditional firm.

After six years of running a creative agency with full-time employees, Madison built this consultancy to combine the senior leadership clients expect with a collective model that brings in the right talent for each specific moment.

A limited number of founders and executives can also work with Madison one-on-one through her application-only private advisory.

The work is selective, structural, and candid. Most clients arrive by introduction.
