When Stars Align

At first, our partnership with A&G was based on a shared commitment to putting people first and a complimentary skillset in creating breakthrough customer experiences.

Today, it’s something more.

Through a history of working together, we realized that we can be something better when we’re working as a unified team dedicated to helping brands be their best selves – from communications to a lifetime of customer loyalty.

As of June 2021, the entire Carter Edwards & Co. team is now part of the A&G family. Same team. Same dream. More impact.

We believe small, senior teams can do big things.
