Our History

Tandem started with a yes.


In 2008, our founder Elizabeth Mead said yes to a global brand that asked her to freelance after leaving her corporate role. From the outside, it looked like ambition. In reality, it was about finding a way to build meaningful work while still being present at home with her kids.


In 2017, Elizabeth and her husband Chris officially started Tandem together. For seven years, they worked side by side. Chris focused inside the business on team culture, customer experience, and environment. Elizabeth focused outside the business on brand strategy, customer lifecycle, and tactical execution. That balance shaped how Tandem works today.


In 2025, Chris retired from Tandem to pursue a long held goal of working in a brewery, marking the close of one chapter and the beginning of another. Tandem continues forward with the same foundation they built together.


But the true lineage goes back further.


In 1980, Elizabeth’s parents started a small business out of the back of a van. They built it with discipline, a heart of service, and grit, eventually growing it into a successful company and retiring in their forties. Watching that journey up close shaped how Elizabeth approaches every business she builds.


Tandem came fully into focus years later when Maddie, then a recent college graduate, asked Elizabeth to breakfast to talk about her point of view on the creative industry. That conversation marked the beginning of something bigger than a project. It became a shared way of thinking, building, and working together.
That mix of grit, curiosity, and collaboration remains the heartbeat of Tandem.

Our Approach

We like to be in the work, with you.

 

Traditional models take your order, disappear, and come back with rounds of emails and revisions. We do it differently. We dedicate focused time and experienced talent to work through things together.

Instead of sending a quick question over email, we pull it up on screen and get real time feedback. That alone saves time, energy, and budget often by forty five percent or more.

Some clients jump off the line once decisions are made. Others stay connected while the work moves forward. Either way, the goal is the same. Fewer roadblocks. Less back and forth. More progress, faster.

What
Client Say

brand strategy consulting for business

I have worked with Elizabeth Mead and her team at Tandem Collaborative for the last three years and it has been a amazing ride. As a psychotherapist, I was basically a ‘technology dummy’ and, over the course of three years, Elizabeth has created for me a beautiful, multifunctional website, as well as, filming, editing and launching three of my professional on-demand webinars. Elizabeth and her team have transformed my career as a psychotherapist to include teaching and mentoring other mental health practitioners online. The Tandem team’s knowledge and creativity regarding marketing and professional development has not only been helpful it has been inspiring. And, with the help of Tandem Collaborative, my practice was well positioned to immediately meet the needs of my clients using teletherapy during this unexpected and challenging time with the Coronavirus. Surprisingly, I have gone from a ‘technology newbie’ to an experienced technology savvy practitioner. I highly recommend ( I already have to my fellow colleagues) Tandem Journey Collaborative for your technological, marketing and professional development needs!

Carolyn Settle

Working with the team at Tandem Collaborative has been the difference-maker for me. From the very first meeting, they have engaged with curiosity, authenticity and competence. They have been responsive, encouraging, and have gently pushed me out of my comfort zone. I am a faith-based nonprofit start up and I have a very limited budget. Every dollar I have spent with Tandem has been worth it. From the accountability to keep moving forward, to the tangible support around marketing, strategy and branding, to the intangible benefit of feeling like I have my own personal team who ‘gets’ me and why I do what I do, I cannot recommend them highly enough. The team at Tandem has a share in every woman I impact, every success story, every win. I would never do this without them!
