Mark Maynard
With two decades of experience shaping some of New York’s most celebrated restaurants, Mark Maynard built his career as an intrapreneur—turning ideas into thriving businesses. Now, he’s bringing that expertise to entrepreneurs beyond hospitality.
While working with us:
Developed a distinct personal brand that reflects Mark’s expertise and personality
Translated hospitality insights into universal business strategies
Launched a website designed to attract and convert consulting clients
When Mark Maynard decided to step out of the corporate world and into independent consulting, the challenge wasn’t his experience. It was articulating it in a way that resonated beyond hospitality. He needed a brand that felt true to him while also appealing to a broader entrepreneurial audience.
As part of our brand audit kickoff consultation, we help clients communicate their brand in a succinct, memorable way. Here's how we'd describe Mark Maynard:
Brand sentence
An advisor and keynote speaker who motivates businesses to become memorable through leadership, operations, and culture
We identified the common thread in Mark’s career—his ability to build, refine, and scale businesses. His brand reflects this expertise with bold colors, abstract shapes, and a mid-century modern aesthetic inspired by his passion for biking. A custom wordmark adds an artistic touch, while a signature orange color ties everything together. To visually capture his hands-on, collaborative approach, we staged consulting sessions in his photography.
To support his transition into consulting, we designed a website that clearly maps out his services, process, and expertise, giving potential clients a tangible understanding of what it’s like to work with him. The site serves as both a brand hub and a business tool, helping Mark confidently position himself as an independent consultant.
Mark’s brand is as dynamic as his career—bold, strategic, and built for growth. With the right positioning and visual identity, he’s ready to make an impact beyond hospitality.
