Marketing That Works for Real Businesses
We built Ember & Forge because too many business owners felt burned by big agencies. Our mission is simple: deliver honest, effective marketing that helps you grow without the headaches.
Who's Behind Ember & Forge
Hi, I’m Taylor — the founder of Ember & Forge.
I’m a family man, lifelong gamer, and big believer that business should never come at the expense of people. I’ve spent over 16 years in marketing and design, collaborating with organizations ranging from small businesses to multi-million-dollar enterprises, to help them grow with strategies that actually work.
I started Ember & Forge because I saw too many business owners getting burned by the agency model. My goal is to give you the expertise of a marketing director, the personal touch of a coach, and the results of a partner who’s invested in your success.
Why It Works
Big agencies can leave small and mid-sized businesses feeling like just another invoice number. At Ember & Forge, we keep things personal, transparent, and focused on what actually grows your business. Here’s why our clients choose us — and stick with us.
US-Based, Owner-Led
You won’t be passed around from department to department. You work directly with a single person — the person who’s accountable for your results and invested in your success.
16+ Years of Experience
From websites and branding to SEO and community growth, We've seen what works (and what doesn’t). That experience means fewer mistakes and faster wins for your business.
Proven Results
We’ve helped gyms, creative studios, and a variety of other businesses increase visibility, attract new clients, and streamline their online presence. Results you can actually measure, not just promises.
Clear Communication & Quick Turnaround
No waiting weeks for updates or answers. We keep you in the loop and deliver projects quickly so your business doesn’t lose momentum.
Values-Driven Approach
We built Ember & Forge on faith, family, and integrity. That means people over profit, honest conversations, and solutions that serve your business long-term.
The Problem
Let’s be real — most business owners have had bad marketing experiences. Over-promised results, confusing jargon, and overpriced retainers have left too many feeling burned.
The Solution
That’s why we started Ember & Forge — to make marketing simple and measurable. No hidden fees, no bloated retainers, no agency runaround. Just clear strategies, honest communication, and results you can see.
