Marketing in St

Jan Carpenter and Laura Reed founded Cork Tree Creative in 2009, building a marketing agency that now works from St. Louis, Missouri, and Edwardsville, Illinois. Clients come from healthcare, professional services, utility, and government sectors, industries that tend to require both regulatory awareness and public-facing communication.

Services span branding and visual identity, creative design, digital advertising, marketing audits, photography, public relations, search engine optimization, video production, and website development. This range lets the agency handle a client's positioning and messaging alongside the technical and creative work needed to put that positioning into market, whether through a website build, a press campaign, or ongoing SEO work. Media relations and press release support sit alongside the visual and digital services, pointing to a practice built to manage both brand identity and public narrative for the same client base.

Cork Tree Creative holds certifications as both a women-owned and veteran-owned business, credentials that carry weight for clients in government and public-sector work where vendor certifications factor into procurement. Marketing audits offered as a standalone service also suggest the agency works with organizations assessing existing marketing programs before committing to a larger engagement, rather than only building programs from scratch.
