Brands people root for.

We help mission-driven business and organization find the story underneath the strategy, then build a brand people feel something for — and tell someone about.

story-first branding

Collective Excellence

What we believe

Tampopo means dandelion - the flower that roots in hard ground and spread on its own. We build brands the same way: rooted in something true, made to travel by word of mouth.

Who we work with

Small business owners who built something real and are tired of sounding like everyone else.

Nonprofit teams with a mission bigger than their marketing budget.
