Before founding Romeo Company, I worked as an art director in a large in-house creative department at a Fortune 100 company. While I was there, I felt that the outside agencies we hired were too disconnected from our culture, processes, and day-to-day work. That disconnect put both sides at a disadvantage and it felt difficult to do great work with them.
I told myself that if I ever started an agency, it would be one that I’d want to hire—an agency with a team that didn’t bring their egos to work. An agency that understands that their team should serve the client’s needs, not the other way around.
My team and I know the unique needs of in-house agencies and marketing teams. We understand the pressure and the daily fire drills. We’ve also seen how in-house agencies today rival the talent of traditional, external agencies. We’re not interested in taking away the fun, “juicy” assignments from in-house teams. Romeo Company is designed to help you do more of the work you .
Our purpose at Romeo Company is to do work that makes our clients look good. Period.

For 10+ years our team has worked on qualitative research projects, like focus groups and consumer interviews. Consistently, we saw the process break down in the same places—especially in virtual research. So we reimagined the qualitative research experience from the ground up, and spun a new venture out of Romeo Company in 2020. Learn more about our sister agency at researchanywhere.com.
