More Cabbage has its roots deep in brand identity and design. At least that’s where company founder and Head Cabbage, Chris Conant, got his start. In 1995, Conant co-founded The Composition Group, a creative agency. The agency was a fun, tight-knit group of talent that loved brand identity work. The More Cabbage team dates back to 1997, with some of the crew having been employees or friends of TCG.

Ten years of design and marketing work with good client relationships exposed Conant to a greater need for return-on-investment in marketing. “Every client project became very important to me because it was important to my client’s bottom line.” In 2000, Chris and his partner sold the Composition Group to iOM, a web-technology company.

In 2003, More Cabbage, LLC, became synonymous with strategic marketing and design. “Client success became our marketing goal. We found our niche in developing more cabbage for clients who were committed to grow.”

In 2007 More Cabbage ventured into social media, realizing that relationships were not going to be replaced with technology, but here, suddenly, is technology changing the way relationships connect. “This is going to change it all, ” says Conant speaking of how the explosion online is causing business (including ours) to grow in markets they had no idea they could thrive in, and causing a slow shut down of other businesses who ignore the “greater web” as an advertising, PR and communication vehicle.

Jon Bourne came aboard as a partner in 2009 with responsibilities to oversee technology and web systems. More Cabbage now develops full print and web marketing campaigns, and delivers regular monthly social media, web and mobile apps, SEO and content development for clients who need to be around in five to ten years. Bourne adds, “Our work is very strategic. We develop brands through the constant, integrated use of very clever technology.”

More Cabbage is now acquiring companies as part of a growth strategy. Most recently these acquisitions include Verticentric Design in 2009 and Third Day Sites in 2010. “We are right on track with our plan.” says Conant, “we want to walk our clients into this decade and give them our best in creative, communication and web technology. If we make some great friendships along the way, then we are truly blessed.”
