Green Compass is raising mental health awareness, creating communities, and connecting people to resources. They do this by providing opportunities and experiences — like concerts, events, and outdoor activities.

When the founder came to us with the beginnings of her vision, we started with a series of brand strategy sessions to lay a strong foundation of language. She articulated her mission and values and we worked together to determine brand tone, and the name of her new nonprofit.

In Green Compass’ pre-launch phase, we created a website landing page to encourage email signup and designed consistent social media graphics for all their channels.

‍

Mental health is my passion and purpose; and bringing a nonprofit to the Triangle to raise awareness and support has been a goal of mine. The care, time, energy, and hard work Dustin and Tara have devoted in helping make Green Compass a reality has been more than I could have imagined. Literally, nothing but “goodness” from this team.

Hear It Straight From Our Clients
From our first email to the launch of our new website and brand identity, Goodness was very, very good to us. Dustin and Tara have this crazy intuition for people and brands, and they know how to articulate and pull out the best in each of us. We wholeheartedly believe our brand and website genuinely reflect who we are and what we aim to accomplish with our customers. Thank you, Goodness!

Stephanie Brooks

Operations Director, FiveStar Awards & Engraving

Tara and Dustin are really nice people. They are also very good at what they do! They took the time to understand my business and that brought clarity for me also. The process they use was really clear and made me feel supported. The final website was excellent and just what I wanted and needed. I highly recommend them.

Andy Patron

President and Principal Consultant, Helps

We hired Goodness to revamp our cocktail bar and what a splendid job they did! Our package included naming, brand id, logo, and a menu design. On top of that, we got plenty of content ideas and strategies to direct our marketing plan. With Tara’s background in restaurant concepting and launching and Dustin’s keen eye for current design trends, they were a perfect match for our mission. Through breezy exercises, their thoughtful approach to brand identity made the soul searching process easy and digestible, and now we can embrace our bar with pointed clarity. Thanks to the Goodness team!

I can honestly say that they are the most kind, generous, and talented professionals I have had the pleasure of working with. They are fully committed to the best work they can put forth because they truly love what they do. They want to see the businesses and nonprofits they work with succeed in effectively and efficiently communicating all aspects of their brand.

Great experience from beginning to end. From sketching out my ideas of the big picture to tailoring a brand that worked to attract the right people to Good Human Dog Training, Tara and Dustin felt like old friends from the start. They really got to know me and what I do. Can’t go wrong with this dream team.

Jennifer Thornburg

Owner, Good Human

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Tara and Dustin to revamp our website. The process was so collaborative and they managed to get to know our work, our team, and our ethos in a way that was reflected back in the final product. They met every deadline and exceeded every expectation, and they are just delightful people to work with.

Emily Sutton

Waterkeeper, Waterkeepers Carolina

As customer oriented as they come, Dustin sought to understand what we were planning with our business. He captured the insights he needed to build our brand for us. And he NAILED it! Logos, color palette, website, even background music to our blogs. We look forward to many years partnering with him and his team!

Michael Hillan

The brand looks amazing! I am so excited about how the logo will look on my new website.

Alix Guthrie

Owner, Mint Modern Home

I absolutely love my logo and colors with my branding! Tara and Dustin really understood what I was going for with my mission and goals. I’m so proud of it and feel like their services have set my company up for success. Definitely worth the investment!

Lisa Vance

Owner, Grow Together

I have worked with Goodness for multiple years now and they are invaluable to our business. They have helped our business seem like a much bigger company than it actually is. They designed our website and social media and have continued to think about how it could be improved and updated as our business grows and evolves. They always deliver on what they promise and it always exceeds our expectations. It is hard to find people that take such pride in what they do and we couldn’t be happier.
