WHO IS BUTTERED?

A small team. Built with intention. Held to a higher standard.

Buttered Branding isn't built for scale. It's built for depth.

We work with a carefully selected group of collaborators and partners who understand that strategy and execution aren't separate jobs — they're two halves of the same whole.

Everyone who touches your brand knows the psychology behind it. The positioning that shapes it. The story that moves it forward.

There are no bloated teams here. No layers of approval that water down the work. No handoffs where the strategy gets lost in translation.

Just aligned expertise, thoughtful collaboration, and people who care as much about the why as the what.

When you work with Buttered, you're not getting an assembly line. You're getting a team that thinks, creates, and executes with your brand at the center of everything.

Because great work doesn't come from more people. It comes from the right people.

TEAM + PARTNERS

CHARLOTTE FORTIN

Founder

I started this agency after seeing the same thing over and over: brands putting out content that looked fine on the surface, but had no strategy underneath it.

Everything felt rushed. Unoriginal. Disconnected from the business it was supposed to support.

Agencies prioritized output over outcome. Promises were made, corners were cut, and the work ended up forgettable. I knew it could be better.

Long before I had the frameworks or language for it, I had a strong instinct for branding. I could see when something had depth, intention, and staying power. Over time, I turned that intuition into strategy — and that strategy into results for clients who were tired of guessing and second-guessing every decision.

Today, I work with service-based and personal brands who want clarity. Who care deeply about how they show up. And who are ready to stop posting just to post and start building something that actually supports their growth.

I’m hands-on, honest, and deeply involved in every project. When we work together, you’re not handed off to a junior team or managed from a distance. You’re working directly with someone who understands brand psychology, social strategy, and how to create content that actually connects.

My role is simple: help you see your brand clearly, communicate it confidently, and show up in a way that feels aligned with who you are and where you’re going.

I believe in doing less, better.
I don’t chase trends.
I don’t do surface-level work.

I believe in building brands rooted in truth, designed with purpose, and brought to life through strategy that actually works.

That’s the work we do here. And that’s the work I’m here to guide you through.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER + content creator

Hi, I'm Andrea!

I’ve always loved creating content and I’ve spent years doing it for my own life as a way to be creative and keep memories.

Turning that passion into a career made me fall in love with helping others and seeing the impact creativity can have on their lives and businesses!I’ve also been on the other side as a business owner, doing my own marketing and learning firsthand what it takes to show up consistently while running everything else. That experience, along with working with local businesses, shaped how I create content that actually supports and connects!

I’m so grateful to be part of the Buttered Branding team and love the impact we have, from helping businesses grow to bringing our community together.
