About
Wide ranging by nature.
We believe the organizations doing the most consequential work deserve communications equal to their mission.
Our story
Built for the long view.
Wide Ranging + Co. was founded on a simple conviction after decades of working with place-based organizations, developers, and nonprofits shaping land and community. Too often, the communications and marketing world misunderstands and misrepresents these vitally important institutions and firms.
We bring the same rigor and patience to brand strategy and communications that our clients bring to their work. We think about long-term impact, not short-term and short-sighted profit-taking. We believe the right words, said clearly and consistently, reach and move people, turn the tide, and change outcomes. For good.
The name comes from a way of seeing. Taking the kind of wide, unhurried perspective visible from a high ridge, a canyon rim, or an urban observation deck. It's the view we try to bring to every engagement. To begin with the end in mind.
The long view
We think in decades. The work we do is designed to last longer than a campaign cycle and sustain through leadership transitions and market shifts to build enduring trust.
Fewer, better words
The right sentence, said once, is more valuable than a paragraph said three times. The Gettysburg address? Ten sentences and no slide deck. Edit rigorously for clarity.
Deep listening
Every engagement begins with listening to you, your community and those who influence your audiences. We don't arrive with answers. We want to know your "why?"
Earned trust
We work with organizations whose missions we believe in. That's not a marketing position, it's what we learned the hard way. We're selective because nothing is worth more than reputation.
