Our Experience

The company we keep.

The Talent Roost team has had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse range of brands—spanning global consulting firms, innovative startups, industry giants, and hidden champions. Whether household names or behind-the-scenes leaders, each client brings a unique challenge, and we thrive on crafting tailored marketing strategies that drive real impact.

The Backstory

25 years in the making.

Talent Roost is built on a client roster that’s 25 years in the making. In 2000, Gretchen Eckland founded Culture22, an agency that partnered with some of the world’s most well-known brands. That journey shaped a deep understanding of what makes marketing truly impactful—strategy, creativity, and adaptability. Today, that expertise carries over into Talent Roost, where we bring the same high-caliber thinking and dedication to every client, helping brands of all sizes thrive.

The Crew

As the fearless founder and lead strategist, Gretchen keeps the Roost running smoothly. With decades of experience guiding brands to greatness, she balances big-picture thinking with sharp instincts and a deep love for good ideas (and good coffee). She’s the glue, the guide, and the one with the best bird’s-eye view.
