Our story

James (Jip) Inglis started his career in brand management at Procter & Gamble and The Coca-Cola Company, then ran marketing at Mattel and two subsidiaries at Dole as president and general manager. At J. Walter Thompson and Miller Zell he led strategic planning — work that delivered 118% profit growth at JWT Specialized Communications and helped grow Miller Zell 90% to more than $100 million.

In 2001 Jip founded Atlanta Marketing Group — today Corvane Advisory — to bring that discipline to organizations of every size. Since then he has advised more than 30 B2B and B2C companies and organizations, from AT&T, UPS, and AstraZeneca to start-ups, private-equity-backed companies, and institutions such as Georgia Tech.

When generative AI arrived, the firm rebuilt how it works. Today AI accelerates every engagement — research, planning, positioning, content, media, and measurement — while the fundamentals of good marketing stay the same. Jip also writes about these systems in The One-Person Business Playbooks.

How we work

Four principles.

Revenue is the scoreboard

Every recommendation ties back to pipeline, revenue, or margin — not activity.

Senior people do the work

You work directly with our founder, not a junior team behind a pitch.

AI with judgment

AI makes us faster; experience decides what's worth doing. A human is accountable for everything that ships.

Leave capability behind

We build workflows and train your team so the gains last after we leave.
