Calm in the chaos

In a noisy world, we give you space to focus on what matters.

What We Believe

It doesn’t have to be so hard.

Hard to think.

Hard to connect.

Hard to lead.

Hard to make sense of the constant noise that fights for our attention every second.

What if you could find the space to think, to explore, to play?

To focus on what truly matters?

You can. You have. You’re here.


The best way to desuckify work is to demuckify work.

We specialize in crazy creative fields like advertising, marketing, PR, tech and entrepreneurship.

But we’ll work with any business that craves some calm in the chaos.


What We Do

In a wacky world, we help you grow what matters

Chaos can be fuel for growth.

But what are we growing if we don’t have time to think about what actually matters? We’re chasing trends, playing catchup, pouring all of our energy (and then some) into stuff we don’t even care about.

The Pudding Factory is a different kind of growth consultant. We help you sift through the noise so you can:

🐱 Grow your people
🐱 Grow your leadership
🐱 Grow your career
🐱 Grow your brand

Let's have some fun and figure out what matters, together.

Where Our Name Comes From

 

Founder TJ Bennett explains:

“It started with a conversation with our cat, Marvin. I asked where he’d been all day and he told me he just got home from his job at the pudding factory. What a wonderful place to work, I remember thinking, as we high-fived and made our way to the couch to watch hockey.”

And so, The Pudding Factory was born.

Marvin is no longer with us, proudly making tuna-flavored pudding with his siblings Buford, Sophie and Randy up on the rainbow bridge. We think he’d be proud of the work we’re doing down here too.


Let’s destroy the fallacy that business should not be fun.

And let’s discover together that laughter, levity and a little lightheartedness are the secret to making work feel less like work and more like living.


“I’ve never seen a more incredible team. Go Pudding Factory!”
