Here's what we know after decades in this arena: The best work doesn't automatically win, the best positioned work does. You've spent years earning the former. Evermore & Co. exists to give you the latter. Shall we?
Our Story
This is Us.
Evermore & Co. exists for the ones who put quality ahead of quantity and results ahead of recognition. The ones who do exceptional work, charge what it's worth, and still watch clients choose someone cheaper, louder, or inferior. If you've been living with that long enough, you're in the right place.
Melissa Bolton is a Brand Therapist® and strategist who has spent more than thirty years obsessed with what actually drives someone to choose you over everything else available to them. She stepped away from borrowed frameworks entirely and spent a year building her own approach from the ground up. What she developed is a proprietary methodology rooted in behavioral psychology and direct buyer research, built to surface what makes your business specifically and distinctly yours. There’s nothing else like it out there.
Catherine Haugland has spent more than two decades creating original design from scratch. She draws her own fonts, illustrates her own elements, and starts every project with a blank page. Her work has earned features in books, magazines, and on national television because truly original work of that caliber commands attention. Every identity suite she creates for Evermore is sold once and retired permanently.
We've worked together for years because neither of us has ever found another collaborator who holds the work to the same standard we both demand. Back in 2012 we launched Revolutionary Branding and swung the doors open to everyone. The people who pulled our best work out of us were always the ones who did things the right way, no matter what it cost. So we closed up shop and built Evermore & Co. around those people specifically.
We know what that standard asks of a person because we've lived inside it our whole careers. If this sounds all too familiar, then welcome. Pull up a chair. We've been waiting for you.
MELISSA BOLTON
Melissa Bolton has been reading people accurately her whole life. The whole branding thing came later.
She holds the Brand Therapist® trademark because after years of behavioral copywriting and brand psychology, it was the most accurate thing she could put on the door. Her particular gift is getting underneath what a brand is doing and finding the thing that was always driving it. Clients tend to recognize themselves in her work before they can explain how she got there.
She started as a financial adviser and spent years in both retail spaces and service industries before she ever wrote a word of copy professionally. That background lives in everything she writes. She understands what it takes to earn trust in a room, and it shows.
She is a police wife, a mom to two grown kids, and a reader who loves to learn. She lives on the shores of Lake Ontario, wanders small boutiques the way some people wander museums, and dabbles in genealogy. She built a million-person audience as a writer and thinker, which means she’s always done her best work on the page, in her own time, without an audience watching. She’s quite particular about what she puts her name on, and it shows in everything she touches.

CATHERINE HAUGLAND
Catherine’s a ‘take the scenic route’ kinda gal. You’ll see it in how she lives and how she creates.
She grew up in Iowa, which maybe explains something about the way she works. Unhurried. Precise. Committed to getting it right in a way that has nothing to do with pressure and everything to do with standards. Her design practice, Avalon Rose Design, has always had a nostalgic sensibility, both as an aesthetic choice and as a philosophy. She believes most things were just done better before, and she designs accordingly. Her work has a stillness to it that's almost impossible to manufacture. It comes from someone who genuinely believes the best things take as long as they take.
Every mark she creates is drawn by hand. No shortcuts, no AI generation, no borrowed assets. What a client receives from Catherine is something that exists in the world because she put it there, line by line, from nothing. She is, in every sense, the real thing.
On a personal level, she's a wife, a mom to two grown kids and a golden retriever, an insatiable reader, a collector of old clocks and piles of ephemera, a gardener, a coffee-lover, crochet & knitting aficionado, and of course a creator and an artist.
