A note from the founder
Why I started this studio.
After years inside agencies and in-house teams, I kept seeing the same things: clients handed off to juniors, buried in jargon, and locked into contracts they couldn't leave. I started this studio to do the opposite — senior work, honest reporting, and the freedom to walk away any month. We're new, and that's exactly why you'll get my full attention.
— Jared McElreath, Founder
Who we are
A senior studio of one — by design.
Cedar & Sparrow is a founder-led studio. You work directly with me — an experienced marketer who'd rather do a few things exceptionally than everything adequately — not a rotating cast of account managers. I treat your budget like my own and your brand like it matters, because it does.
- Senior people on every account — no hand-offs to juniors
- Transparent pricing and honest reporting
- Strategy first, tactics second, always
