Konsist

What Konsist does

Konsist is a private, project-based creative and technology agency founded in 2016 and headquartered in Palm Springs, California, with a distributed team of 11-50 employees operating across the United States (Palm Springs, New York), the United Kingdom (London), South Africa (Cape Town), and the Netherlands (Amsterdam). The company delivers end-to-end brand growth services spanning brand identity and design systems, website design and development, e-commerce solutions, packaging design, print collateral, and marketing campaign creation, with a portfolio concentrated in hospitality and restaurants, wellness and spa, cultural institutions, retail and consumer products, and professional services.

The agency's core technology stack centers on custom web design and development, including client-specific booking and scheduling interfaces (e.g., for Grounded Bodyworks and The Art Collective) and e-commerce builds. In 2023, Konsist launched Sandbox, a wholly-owned sub-brand operating as an internal AI innovation lab that develops custom AI tools for entrepreneurs and small businesses; Sandbox has its own product site at wearesandbox.io. Other proprietary internal tools include the Konsist Clock, a time-zone coordination utility for the globally distributed team.

Konsist operates a professional services revenue model, charging custom project-based fees scoped through discovery calls, with multi-year contracts and no published rate cards. The go-to-market motion is consultative enterprise-style field sales, supported by a portfolio website featuring detailed case studies, prominent client testimonials, and discovery-call CTAs. Lead generation is concentrated in organic social (LinkedIn, Instagram), email outreach, and a network-connector sales presence in New York and London. The company has no disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity, and ownership appears to remain with founders and team.
