About us

A senior studio of one.

I started Cedar & Sparrow on a simple belief: that great marketing should feel honest, human, and genuinely helpful — not loud, not pushy, and never confusing.

Rustic, natural textures
Our story

Built for brands that care about doing it right.

I've spent years inside agencies and in-house teams, and I kept seeing the same gaps: strategy disconnected from execution, reports nobody could read, and clients treated like account numbers.

So I started the studio I always wanted to work with — senior enough to deliver, small enough to stay personal, and obsessed with the outcomes that actually matter to your business. It's new, but the experience behind it isn't.

What we believe

The principles behind the work.

Strategy first

We never start with tactics. Every campaign rests on a clear plan and a reason to exist.

Honest & human

No jargon, no smoke and mirrors. We say what we think and show our work.

Results that matter

Vanity metrics are easy. We focus on the numbers that move your business forward.

Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Jared McElreath.

I'm an experienced marketer and the founder of this studio. I've led brand, content, and growth work across a range of brands, and I started Cedar & Sparrow to bring that senior-level craft to a small number of clients who'll actually feel the difference.

No account managers, no hand-offs, no junior team doing the real work behind the scenes. When you hire this studio, you get me — and my full attention.

  • You work directly with me — start to finish
  • Senior strategy and hands-on execution
  • Honest advice, even when it's not what you hoped to hear
