A little about what we’ve done. And where we do it.

Kathryn Pepper Miller

Kathy spent several decades as a consumer behavior, brand, research and strategy expert. She was an agency CEO and Managing Director with one of the world’s most acclaimed global agencies, Ogilvy & Mather. She founded and ran her own local marketing agency in the Triangle and was the CMO of a $700 million education company.

Eric Miller

Eric spent those same decades as a journalist, political consultant, copywriter, speechwriter and an award-winning agency creative director. He’s also a passionate advocate for developing the power of workplace community, and is a certified facilitator with the Foundation for Community Encouragement (FCE).

In 2011, we formed a life partnership. In 2014, we extended our partnership to create a specialized agency combining our complementary skills and passions.

We called it Set of 1 to reflect the ideal mental niche for any brand — a consideration set with just one member – but that’s so obscure that unless we explain it, most people think it has something to do with the fact that we’re doubly partnered. That works too.

We give 100% to every client engagement. We ask – and receive – the same level of intention from the small set of partners we engage as needed.
