We Exist at the Intersection of Food + Place + Design
Cohere is a branding and creative agency focused on food, real estate, hospitality, and economic impact projects in Baltimore, MD. Originally founded in Philadelphia, we have grown our Baltimore office since the agency expanded in 2015. Our affinity for secondary markets and how our work impacts their growth is what drives our creative commitments to projects that make an impact on our cities.
We offer: identity design, collateral and creative layout design, signage and environmental graphics, digital marketing, content creation, web design and development, content strategy, creative advisory, public relations, and social media management.
We have a passionate, design forward Baltimore-based team that works out of our Old Goucher offices. Our name is rooted in the word "cohesion" because we are known for helping the entire experience connect to the north star of the brand. We specialize in the branding and marketing of the built environment - but as brands find ways to connect directly with consumers online, we have learned the art of marketing as well. In addition to those core competencies, we have advisors on our team who guide the growth of companies, strategic plans, and “how” to get there. These skill sets are utilized by our partners to expand their capacity, telling stories of a building or brand both in person and online.
At the Forefront of Restaurant, Hospitality, and Real Estate Branding
Since opening in Baltimore, Cohere has worked with some of the area's top real estate, culinary, economic development, and nonprofit clients. We bring the power of a true creative studio, and our clients' projects are more successful when we can employ our guiding principles; overlapping shared values and interest, to create something more impactful together.
“Cohere’s work meets the mark at each and every opportunity. The team is very gracious, easy to work with, and quick to answer any questions. Customers can expect a flexible and knowledgeable team that’s truly invested in their clients’ happiness.”
—Executive Coordinator, FRP Development
