Who We Are

Stillwell+Co is a clarity-first marketing and strategy consultancy helping real businesses, nonprofits, and community-centered organizations communicate with confidence and grow with purpose.

We exist to cut through the noise, simplify the complex, and build marketing foundations that support long-term, sustainable growth. Our work is rooted in truth, clarity, and practical strategy—not trends or overwhelm.

We believe good marketing starts with understanding your customer, your message, and your mission. Everything else flows from there.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Founder & Strategic Consultant Krista Stillwell

I built Stillwell+Co because I saw the same pattern everywhere:
smart, hardworking business owners who were overwhelmed—not because they lacked passion or effort, but because they lacked clarity.

Marketing felt heavy.
Messaging felt scattered.
Content felt like a chore instead of a tool.

And most advice available to them didn’t fit the realities of running a business in a rural community, nonprofit environment, or resource-strapped team.

As a strategic consultant, agency owner, farmer’s wife, and appointed local official, I understand how communication, clarity, and operational reality intersect. I’ve spent more than a decade helping organizations—from small businesses to multimillion-dollar enterprises—refine their message, strengthen their systems, and grow with purpose.

My work is grounded in what actually works in the real world:
clear thinking, honest communication, and sustainable strategy.

This is the kind of support that helps clients move forward with confidence, not confusion.

OUR VALUES

These values guide every strategy we build, every story we tell, and every relationship we foster.

CLARITY FIRST

We believe clear thinking leads to smart decisions, stronger communication, and better results.

Clarity is the foundation of everything we do—strategy decks, audits, SEO frameworks, onboarding questionnaires, and positioning work. When you know what matters most, you can move with purpose.

STORY WITH PURPOSE

We tell honest, compelling, and strategic stories that help businesses communicate their value with confidence.

From nonprofits to funeral homes, civic leaders to small businesses, we refine narratives so audiences understand, trust, and connect with the work you do.

SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

We design marketing systems that create long-term momentum—not quick fixes.

Whether through SEO, ongoing content, Google Business Profiles, Profit First-informed decision-making, or consistent strategy, we build structures that last beyond fleeting trends.

PARTNERSHIP OVER TRANSACTION

We show up as strategic partners, not task-takers.

Our best work happens when we collaborate with clients as an extension of their leadership team—sharing ideas, solving problems, and building something meaningful together.

COMMUNITY IMPACT

We champion leaders whose success strengthens their communities.

From chambers to rural businesses, education initiatives to civic organizations, we believe in supporting the people and institutions that make our communities thrive.

OUR
APPROACH

We don’t believe in noise for the sake of visibility.
We don’t overwhelm clients with unnecessary tactics.
We don’t prescribe “one-size-fits-all” plans.

Our approach is simple:

Clarity → Strategy → Sustainable Execution

We help clients get clear on who they are, who they serve, and what they want to say.


Then we build strategies and systems that make growth feel achievable—not exhausting.
