Most marketing feels generic. Built for someone else’s business, disconnected from how you actually operate, and pointed toward growth that doesn’t quite feel like your version of success – there’s a better way.

Our founder, Krista Chapman, built Path & Compass on the belief that business growth shouldn’t come at the cost of burnout, disconnection, or compromise. Disillusioned by how we prioritized profit over people, speed over sustainability, and noise over impact, she sought a better way. She sought to build a company for other business owners ready to step off the hamster wheel of fleeting trends and quick fixes.

At Path & Compass, we help party rental companies, venues, catering operations, and event planning teams build a marketing system that works – one that is intentional, strategic, and designed for sustainable growth. For more than a decade, our entirely U.S.-based team has helped companies around the country create timeless brands, hone and scale in their local markets, and evolve with ever-changing digital technologies. We bring a proven mix of strategy, creativity, and long-term implementation. Plus, our background in events gives us a unique understanding of the wedding & event industry that other agencies simply don’t have.

But it’s not just about the bottom line for us. We believe in sustainable growth, creating inclusive spaces, defining success on your own terms, and that joy, beauty & celebration are uniquely crucial to human thriving. We’re a team of real strategists who take the time to understand your business, work alongside you, be an honest & direct voice of reason, and guide you to build a purposeful and successful company over the long haul.

We’re your guide on the path to better.
