Brands built to be found.

We don’t just create brands…

KTC Marketing is a hands-on branding consultancy in New Milford, Connecticut. We help restaurants, law firms, contractors, nonprofits and other reputation-driven businesses get clear on who they are, look the part, and show up when customers ask Google or ChatGPT who to call.

Who We Are

KTC Marketing is led by Kimberly Cross, a brand strategist with 25+ years of experience working with brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, Adobe and Discovery Channel. Jon Cross leads design and web.

We take owner-led businesses from "something's not working" to a clear brand, a strong website and a marketing plan they can actually run. Most projects take 4 to 10 weeks. We're based in New Milford, CT, serve Western Connecticut and the Litchfield Hills, and work with clients nationwide.

Getting Found Is Part of the Brand Now

Nobody discovers a brand the way they used to. It's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude — not just a Google search bar. We build visibility into your strategy from the start, so the story we create is the story people (and their AI assistants) actually find.

You know your business has potential - but turning that into a brand and marketing strategy that works can be tricky.

That’s where we come in.

More and more customers ask ChatGPT, Google's AI results and Perplexity for recommendations instead of scrolling a list of links. Every KTC website is built for this from day one. For existing sites, we offer AI search optimization as its own service. That includes:

  • Structured data (schema) so AI tools understand who you are, where you are and what you offer

  • Content that answers the real questions your customers ask

  • Google Business Profile setup and management

  • Consistent listings and a review strategy across the platforms AI draws from
