Big plans, bold ideas, or somewhere in between — we’re here to help you grow.

Loquat Studios is a boutique consultancy led by Katherine Townsend — strategist, storyteller, and builder of better business systems.

I started Loquat with a simple belief: growth doesn’t have to mean chaos.

With over 15 years of experience at the intersection of brand, partnerships, and strategy, I’ve helped organizations of all sizes—from scrappy startups to household names—define who they are, how they work, and where they’re going next.

I’ve led teams at Condé Nast and Skift, and partnered with global brands like Salesforce, Google, Amazon, and American Express to create campaigns, systems, and strategies that fuel measurable growth. That blend of hands-on leadership and big-brand collaboration taught me that the right mix of strategy, storytelling, and systems can transform how a business grows.

Loquat is small by design. When you work with us, you get direct access to senior expertise—not layers of account managers. And when a project calls for it, we tap into a trusted network of designers, writers, and analysts to build exactly the right team.

We believe in work that feels clear, not complicated.
