Marketing for market challengers,
underdogs, and contrarians.
79% of business leaders report dissatisfaction with their marketing agencies.
Marketing has a bad rap these days. The story is always the same.
You sign a retainer with an agency; they put their best people on it for two months before transferring your account to junior people, and your results crater. Boxes may get checked, but your mission stops advancing.
We can be your way off the hamster wheel.
You deserve effective marketing.
The kind that makes you famous. The kind that makes you memorable. The kind that’s proven and results-driven.
We support ambitious initiatives. You want two things: results and control over your marketing.
We aren't a traditional agency. Agencies push tactics for profit. We identify and fix growth barriers through strategy and new creative IP.
Sherwood Fellows guarantees results. If you don’t get results, we'll refund you.

I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
Fr. Richard Sunwoo
Pastor at USC Caruso Center
“Before we worked with Sherwood Fellows, we struggled to make strategic decisions and prioritize our efforts because we didn’t know who we were or where we were going. Sherwood Fellows helped us do what we had been trying and struggling to do for years: chart a path forward for our ministry. Their support has been invaluable."
