Maillard Creative was born from a lifetime of culinary passion, blending professional expertise with the warmth of home cooking. Founded by Courtnee Futch, a self-taught chef whose journey weaved through college bakeries, French culinary studies, and marketing roles at food tech giants, Maillard Creative emerged from the realization that there was a gap between professional kitchens and home cooks, between brand messaging and authentic culinary experiences.

Named after the chemical reaction that brings depth and complexity to food, Maillard Creative aims to do the same for culinary brands and content. It's a place where culinary artistry meets brand innovation, recipes become stories, and every home cook can find inspiration. Driven by the belief that everyone has a place in the kitchen and every dish has a story to tell, Maillard Creative is a culinary content and strategic marketing agency that's equal parts warmth and expertise, innovation and tradition, strategy, and creativity. It's where brands come to find their flavor, and where home cooks come to be inspired.
