Traditional agencies and consulting practices can be pricey and restricted in their offering. But individual consultants can't do everything, and assembling the perfect team can be time-consuming.

The Orchard Group serves as a happy medium between large agencies and independent consultants by providing the best blend of talent -- in any configuration needed -- at the right price. Whether a client needs one talent or many, we bring them together and manage the whole process.

We call it our "just-in-team" approach -- our clients get the right mix of capabilities to meet their needs without paying for any extra layers of management or agency overhead. After all, why hire an army when all you need is a SWAT team?

Our clients gain access to customizable teams of leading researchers and strategists, creatives and consultants. We have little overhead, which allows us to keep our rates low, while offering clients the benefits of consolidated billing and single-point-of-contact project management.

Our members -- each hand-picked by founding partners Laura Bergheim and Colleen Guezennec -- have a successful history of collaborating with other top talents on a wide range of projects. And with a combined client list that reads like an issue of Forbes magazine, we share our experiences and relationships for the benefit of all -- especially our clients. When you've got the best talent all in one orchard, there's no need to pick any other provider.
