Who We Are

Verdant was created for business owners who care deeply about their work—but don’t want to spend their energy navigating the complexities of digital marketing.


We believe marketing should feel collaborative, understandable, and aligned with the real needs of a business. That’s why we don’t lead with packages or pressure. We start with conversations, listen carefully, and build from there.


Our approach is simple: thoughtful strategy, customized execution, and growth that supports both the business and the people behind it.


Our Mission Statement:

Verdant’s mission is to help small businesses thrive through customized marketing rooted in integrity, partnership, and long-term growth—so our clients can stay focused on the work they love.

FORREST KELSEY - owner

Verdant is led by Forrest, a Utah native with an MBA and decades of experience in sales and digital solutions.


Forrest has spent his career helping businesses understand and implement digital tools —not in theory, but in practice. After years of seeing business owners oversold, undersupported, or locked into one-size-fits-all plans, he set out to build something different.  His background in sales shapes how Verdant operates—clear expectations, honest conversations, and recommendations grounded in what actually makes sense for the business.


His focus is on clarity, trust, and long-term partnerships. Forrest believes good marketing starts with understanding how a business truly works, and ends with solutions that respect both the owner’s goals and the realities of running a company.



As a partner, Forrest brings a deep understanding of small businesses and their communities, along with the strategic insight to help them grow in a sustainable, grounded way.
