ABOUT Salt + Ruttner Communications (SRC):

At Salt + Ruttner, we believe creating meaningful, positive change is not only critical; it is an essential part of being human.

However, in today’s fragmented, oversaturated market, it is also astoundingly complicated. Ask any leader to identify the hardest part of launching a new product, business, or initiative, and you will find they grapple with the same challenge:

How can we successfully define and communicate our distinct value?

Founded in 2018 by industry veterans Megan Salt and Julia Ruttner, Salt + Ruttner is a marketing and communication consultancy that partners with the leaders and brands committed to making an impact in their communities, and, more broadly, the world. Our clients—which range from Fortune 50 companies to early-stage start-ups—look to us to cut through the noise and develop truly transformative brands as well as bespoke, cross-channel strategies that fuel awareness, inspire loyalty, and drive measurable results.
