We helped modernize New England’s most iconic brand

Together with A&G, we helped elevate our favorite New England brand – from PR and creator relations to redesigning the mobile app with a focus on brand, loyalty, and performance.

We’re reinventing the formula for eCommerce with Tatte Bakery

Tatte is quickly scaling into new regions and that puts them at risk at losing what made them special in the first – bringing people together around great food and pastries while providing a deep sense of comfort and belonging. It was our job to design a new eCommerce and loyalty experience that stayed true to their roots with a deep focus on craft and connection.

What's different about us?

We were founded in 2016 by agency leaders that saw a new, better way of working and an opportunity to create something truly special. Our approach has helped us become one of the fastest growing agencies in Boston and deliver great work for some of today's most notable brands.

We believe small, senior teams can do big things.

All of us here at Carter Edwards & Co. came from big agencies and we saw the ineffectiveness of large teams. We learned that when we reduce the layers of sales and account management and let our clients talk directly to the people doing the work, great things happened. The work moved faster, there were no surprises, and it just made everyone's job significantly easier.

Design thinking meets business acumen.

Whether we're designing a customer journey or a purely digital product, understanding what needs to happen behind the scenes is critical to everything we create. This approach ensures we can be the best partners for transformative change.

Brand-led growth across the entire customer journey.

We don't believe big problems can be solved in lab setting, a boardroom, or even a months-long strategy effort. Instead, we believe the best thing to do is get everyone in a room together, put our ideas down on paper, and test them with customers quickly. It's a more effective way to learn, align everyone in the work to be done, and uncover new opportunities for growth.
