Who we are

KO Consultants was founded by Kurt Odom to give small and mid-sized businesses the clarity and direction that big brands use everyday with their large agencies, but in a way that makes sense for your business.

With more than 25 years in media strategy, customer experience, and retail marketing, Kurt has helped some of the world’s best known brands connect with customers and grow. Now, he brings that same expertise to local businesses that need practical answers, not theory.

At KO Consultants, our role is simple. We cut through the noise, show you where customers are slipping away, and give you a clear actionable roadmap to attract more, convert more, and keep them coming back. We empower you with marketing expertise that makes sense for your business.
