&: Equity in Action
& is a progressive equity agency and consultancy founded in 2024 by Thom Patterson in Sacramento, dedicated to bridging the gap between opportunity and impact through strategic guidance, advocacy, and transformative solutions.
-
In an industry where equity consulting often lacks a compelling brand identity, & needed to establish itself as a distinctive, authoritative presence to stand out from conventional consultancies and effectively engage organizations seeking real, measurable change.
-
By developing a bold, strategically differentiated brand, including a distinctive name, cohesive visual identity, and messaging framework, & positioned itself as a transformative force—bridging the gap between opportunity and impact with clarity, credibility, and action-driven solutions.
