Real words from real business leaders who wanted clarity and found it.
One of the best resources in Columbia if you’re looking for expert marketing guidance. They are like a general contractor in the sense they can always find you exactly the right partner (at the right price point) for whatever you and your business needs.

Heritage Brands helped us focus on what mattered most — building a platform and audience.
Methodical, intentional, and deliberate are words I would use to describe Heritage Brands. As well as fun, engaging, dynamic, energizing, and exciting. They’ve done a great job connecting at both a personal and professional level — and not just doing it once but making that a continuous part of the experience.

Heritage has a fantastic team that brings integrity and intention to their work. I’ve spent 25 years in marketing and branding, working on the agency, consulting, and now on the client side—I would place their work against anything I’ve held in the highest regard throughout this time. As a client, I appreciate how they listen first and then build thoughtful and intentional insights that lead to actionable plans. They’re very collaborative throughout the process. Our first project yielded deep strategic recommendations and a Roadmap that has provided value for 6 months and counting. Their plans are accessible and feasible based on their understanding of their clients. I look forward to our ongoing work!

Heritage Brands was so wonderful to work with- they understood our vision and really brought it to life. It was a joy to work with them. I will continue to use them in the future and recommend them to everyone.

Located in the historic 1897 Lachicotte House in downtown Columbia, South Carolina, our office carries a story that began more than a century ago. Charleston native Philip Howard Lachicotte moved to Columbia in 1883 and built a successful jewelry business on Richardson, now Main Street. His success led to the construction of this Queen Anne style home in 1897.
The asymmetrical design is distinguished by its Chippendale-inspired gingerbread balustrade, a defining feature of the front porch. Look closely and you will notice something familiar. The patterns in that balustrade inspired the design of the “H” in our logo. The same attention to detail seen in the craftsmanship of this home guides the way we approach our work for clients.
The property remained in the Lachicotte family until 1978, when it was thoughtfully adapted for office use. Today, its craftsmanship and character continue to influence the way we think about heritage, reputation and time.
