Branded by EQ brings the rigor of proper business, branding, and marketing practices to attract the right kind of clients for long-term success. We are a business consulting and marketing services company built on the experience of principal Ashley Matchett Woods, a veteran in branding, marketing, and sales for 30 years.

​
EQ makes industry-best branding and marketing attainable to growing and specialty businesses.
EQ is skilled in all media and creative execution — from Strategy, to Messaging, to Implementation and Measurement. In addition to saving money, our intimate team short-cuts the process and eliminates lost knowledge as it moves down-stream. The work that you see on our site was researched, strategized, and created by the same team that will work with you.
The EQ Advantage:

Decades of experience, knowledge and creativity found in traditional agencies without the burden of costly overhead
-
Nimble, responsive team focused on delivering intelligent, effective work
-
Perspective of global brand building - strategic thinking grounded in understanding execution, and execution reflective of the big picture
Ashley Matchett Woods
Owner, Strategist
Ashley created brand strategies and integrated communications for some of the world's largest companies like Cisco Systems, Sun Microsystems, and Sony as an advertising agency executive, corporate officer and independent consultant. In 2006 Ashley chose to pursue her entrepreneurial dream, opening a specialty retail store. She simultaneously operated Branded by EQ, helping equestrian businesses grow and succeed. Missing the pace and variety of the mainstream marketing world, Ashley spun-off Branded by EQ as an independent entity where she can service a variety of businesses, bringing all of her experience and insight.
