Brand Champion, deemed for years as a ‘Merchant of Change’ has worked with hundreds of owner operated businesses through the process of reinvention. Using market research, strategic planning and creative services we turn small businesses into strong brands.

Brand Champion establishes a better bond between the business and their community it serves by implementing tested innovative marketing solutions and systems.  We have yet to work with a customer (who followed our recommendations) who hasn’t been successful.

Brand Champion has been serving clients since May of 2003.
