To make better brands for a better planet.

Callosum guides purpose-driven outdoor brands through critical strategic thinking, disruptive brand story creation, and brand marketing which result in measurable cultivated relationships.

Launched in Chicago in 2005 as a graphic design firm, we added services and revamped into a branding consultancy in 2007. Heading west in 2010, a 2nd office was added in Vail, CO. In 2015, our niche narrowed to outdoor recreation and mountain lifestyle. It’s a story of evolution to the outdoors.

Our go-to network enables our clients to accomplish goals quickly and efficiently utilizing services Callosum has screened and trusts resulting in high-level cohesiveness and like-mindedness to accelerate client results. We are committed to the Quadruple Bottom Line - profit, people, planet, purpose.

Our Services

Branding is what comes before marketing. Easily said: It’s taking the company’s five senses plus intuition and making it tangible for your audience. It differentiates you from the competition and tells your story impactfully so the audience feels at home and actively engages. Building brand equity is your #1 investment for future success.

We all have a responsibility to our planet. As businesses, consumers and global citizens, we all have a part to play. Saving our planet takes more than what one person, company or organization can do on its own.

As the percentage of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere rises, our planet heats up. Glaciers melt. Seasons blend together as winters become warmer. Safe levels of carbon dioxide are below 330ppm. Right now, our carbon dioxide level is over 400ppm.
