Not an agency. Not a consultancy. Fixers.

Valence was founded in New Orleans in 2009 on one idea: build the team to the problem, not the problem to the team. We're still based here, and we work from Los Angeles to New York. Business changes. So have we, three times, each time because clients needed something different from us.

• 2009

  The agency years. Full-service brand, creative, and production for companies from Fortune 500 to family-owned. We learned to ship at scale, and we learned that the deliverable is rarely the problem.

• The pivot

  The embedded years. Clients stopped asking for campaigns and started asking for a head in the room. We became fractional CMOs: a seat in leadership, ownership of the plan, accountability for the number.

• Today

  The collective. Senior leadership plus a hand-picked team of specialists, assembled to each problem. You start with Valence. We build the team, and we execute.

We stay small on purpose. When we embed, we join the team: the meetings, the culture, the hard conversations. Assembled fast. Accountable to the outcome. Gone when the job is done.

We use the best tools available, and yes, that includes AI. But nobody has ever hired us for the tools. They hire us because we've been in the room when it mattered, and we know what to do next.
