About Birch & Brand

Events and creative for brands that want to be remembered.

Why We Exist

Most brand experiences are forgotten before the guests even go home.  Birch & Brand exists to make sure yours aren't. We design every event and activation around a single standard: how it makes people feel and what that feeling does for your business.  It's a higher bar than most agencies set and it's one of the biggest reasons our clients choose to work with us.  

What We Do

Our roots run deep in events and experiential strategy and that's where most of our work lives.  We plan conferences, leadership offsites and incentive trips. We also design trade show and conference activations that stop people in their tracks.  Behind every event is the brand work that makes it land, including brand identity, digital marketing, communications and content that builds momentum before the doors open and keeps people talking after they close. 


We don't make pretty things just for the sake of it.  Everything we create has a job to do, whether that's starting a relationship or closing a deal. 

On the Water

Some of the most meaningful work happens on the water. A yacht gives a brand something no ballroom or booth can offer: hours of unhurried time with the people who matter most.  We've seen deals take shape over dinner on deck and relationships deepen during a sunset sail.  That's why we've brought brands aboard from Miami Beach to the Hamptons and from the docks of Newport to the harbors of Cannes and Monaco. We treat every charter and client with the same care, whether it's a full takeover or a quiet afternoon with a few valued clients. 

How We Work

No two clients need the same thing from us, so we don't work from a one-size-fits-all playbook.  Some come to us with a full marketing team and want a partner who can plug in and elevate what they've already built.  Others need us to take the entire project off their plate, from the first idea to the final guest out the door.  Either way, we become an extension of your team, guided by the same True North that shapes every project we take on. 

Julia Healey, Founder & Chief Creative Officer

My career has been built across events, public relations, crisis communications and the broader marketing landscape. That range is exactly what I bring to my clients.  I know how to plan an experience down to the last detail and how to make sure it tells the right story once the doors open.  Crisis work has taught me to read an audience quickly and stay steady when plans change.  Marketing taught me that every experience needs to earn its return.  I've put all of it to work for clients in healthcare and hospitality as well as technology and professional services. 


What I bring to every project is a planner's eye for detail and a strategist's sense of what it's all for.  I'm the person thinking about where each guest will sit and who they'll end up talking to, because that's often where the real business happens.  


I'm a Jersey girl at heart who now calls New England home.  I bring a bit of both to every project: straight talk and a lot of warmth. If you're planning something that matters, I'd love to hear about it.
