Sometimes those clients who seem like they’re too good to be true, really are just that amazing. When Barbara and Anthony Brandt, a mom and son team, came to Bill Grant to help them build a new brand, he didn’t think they were real. 

Together they were able to build and launch an entirely new brand all while exclusively using Zoom to communicate.

They believe in creating real, handmade furniture that’s crafted here in the United States. They’re also decentralizing manufacturing to better serve the local areas where they sell. Additionally, they are doing all of their sales in house. 

Growing a business organically by cultivating long-lasting relationships and solving their customers' problems is the key to their marketing efforts. In their mind, they don’t sell furniture, they sell solutions. 

Listen in to hear all about their journey, their brand, and how it’s all come together in just a couple short years, despite the pandemic.
