Our Convictions

Community Stewardship Is a Priority

Owner and Brand Strategist Heather Johnson and Director of Partnerships Lindsey Bnadad believe in the power of sustainability, small businesses, and giving back to the community. 

Their convictions and commitment to the Asheville Chamber resulted in Kudzu Brands winning The President’s Award in 2024. The award recognizes Kudzu’s work and contributions to the community.

In 2024, our creative team was instrumental in planning and executing the Asheville Chamber’s 125th Anniversary Celebration. Additionally, the Kudzu team lent our time and talents to the relaunch and rebranding of the young professionals program, PROpel AVL.

We Believe

Our mission is to provide growing businesses and organizations the tools and support they need to tell their stories and become memorable, profitable, and sustainable brands.

Kudzu helped us define our brand story, create a fantastic logo, make a beautiful trade show booth, and assisted with creating a wonderful video. [They] made this process easy and worked with our timeline to help keep us on track. I’m so appreciative of their help!
