We are your trusted partner who helps you bridge the gap between your strategy, messaging, and creative.

most marketing fails because nothing is working together

Your strategy says one thing. Your messaging says another. Your website and materials say something else entirely. That disconnect is what keeps marketing from working the way it should.

At Christopher & Mae, we work differently. We partner with growing businesses to bring strategy, messaging, and creative together so everything works as one to support how you actually win.

McGohan Brabender

Working with Christopher and Mae was a pleasure. They truly had our best interest at the forefront of their thinking and advice. I asked them to be openand honest, and to push back if we gave bad direction. They did, and our company is better for it. Wonderful people with talent and experience to back it all up.

Ronny Young
Owner

Working with Christopher & Mae on The Hub’s website redesign was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, they took my vision and brought it to life—often filling in the gaps where I wasn’t sure what I wanted and making incredible choices that truly elevated our brand.Their team made the content creation process seamless, and I learned so much from their expertise. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to timely execution were outstanding. Jon and his team consistently went above and beyond, even preparing collateral for key Board meetings.The final product is not only visually stunning but also effective—we’ve already seen an increase in site traffic. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Christopher & Mae to anyone looking for a web design team that truly understands branding, storytelling, and functionality.
