Rooted in Community. Built for Impact. Ready for Scale.
Who We Are
GFK Consulting, LLC is a purpose-driven brand and strategy studio that partners with mission-driven farms, nonprofits, local businesses, and community organizations — as well as corporate and enterprise-scale teams looking for a nimble, human-centered strategic partner.
We believe in the power of story, identity, and authentic connection. Whether you’re a grassroots nonprofit or a national organization modernizing its brand, we help you grow with clarity, heart, and strategic rigor.
Our Origins & Why We Exist
GFK grew from hands-on work with real community projects — farms like Dad’s Farm, impact organizations like Nutrition Exchange, and grassroots programs like Urban Alliance — where strategy, identity, and operations had to work together to serve real people.
What began as a passion for strengthening local initiatives quickly expanded:
we saw that the same clarity, structure, and brand discipline needed at the grassroots level is equally essential inside large corporations and legacy institutions.
Today, GFK supports organizations of every size — from a single-location farm market to enterprise entities with complex internal systems — all with the same mission:
Build brands and strategies that create lasting, meaningful impact.
