Our journey began at mile marker 8.25 during training for the Music City Marathon in Nashville. Good friends (and gluttons for punishment) Cindy Baker and Kedran Whitten were logging serious miles when they had an epiphany: they wouldn’t be truly happy until they were telling stories and developing brands for their own company. So, 26.2 miles and nearly 30 years of shared marketing and creative experience later, Brand825 was born. Now, we’re an established, WBENC certified agency ready to help lift your brand to intriguing new heights.
