The role most companies can't name until they need it

Josh Anderson spent 17 years inside marketing and creative teams at companies navigating growth, acquisitions and brand consolidation, building the systems that kept a hundred moving pieces looking like one brand. JA Design is that experience, delivered by one accountable principal, on a fixed-scope project or a monthly retainer.

The work sits in two places. Commercial real estate, where a brokerage's pursuit team pitches every week and every deck has to start ahead of the last one. And post-merger financial institutions, the moment a bank, credit union or RIA rolls two brands into one and someone has to make it look intentional again.

Brand work for and inside JLL, MetLife, MassMutual, Brighthouse Financial, AXA Equitable, Texas Capital and Duke Energy. And thirteen years as a direct JA Design client: Compass Group.
