LiNGER

What LiNGER does

LiNGER (DBA: thosewholinger / Linger) is a privately held, founder-owned creative agency headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, founded in 2018 by Jack Weakly, with Chris Willis serving as Art Director. The firm operates with a stated headcount of 1–10 employees built around two named core team members. The agency delivers a unified service portfolio of branding, marketing strategy, and content creation — including photography, videography, styling, campaign management, social media video ads, and website development — packaged as integrated engagements for individual clients rather than discrete SKU-based products.

The agency's underlying technology stack consists of standard creative production tools for photography, videography, and design, hosted on a Squarespace-built portfolio website. Its distinguishing intellectual property is a stated "Emotional Engagement Methodology" centered on storytelling, captivating visuals, personalization, and community building. There is no proprietary software platform, no API, no SDK, and no disclosed AI/ML capability; differentiation is positioned through creative philosophy and execution rather than technology.

LiNGER generates revenue through project-based, quote-based professional services engagements with B2B clients. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, relying on a portfolio website, organic social media presence, an educational content hub, and direct email outreach. Its customer base is distributed across fashion/apparel startups (UNCOMFY, Death, La Luna, Southpaw, Inherent, Douleur Online), lifestyle SMBs (Light Provisions, Axe and the Oak), non-profits (OneChild, Boulder Street Moto men's mental health ride), and a small set of larger clients (Tava Homes in hospitality, Tapestry). The company has no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity on record.
