Fortune 500 experience, brought home to Santa Cruz.

We started Sproutling & Company because the businesses here deserve the same caliber of support big companies take for granted, without the big-company price tag.

4 Disciplines under one roof: strategy, brand, web, and managed IT.

20 Years in corporate America, now working for businesses here.

1 Local team. Real people. Based in Santa Cruz County.

The story

The same needs as a big company. None of the support.

Local businesses need the same things big companies rely on: a clear strategy, a strong brand, a website that works, and technology someone is actually watching. What most of them don’t have is a team to handle it all, or a budget built for hiring one.

No one was offering senior, Fortune-500-caliber strategy, brand, web, and IT to businesses in Santa Cruz County, sized to a budget that’s actually reachable. So we built it.

Who we are

One team. Real people. Local.

Sproutling & Company is led by Frances Corpuz, who spent two decades in corporate America before bringing that experience home to Santa Cruz County. The team behind her is deliberately small: the people who help you plan are the same people who help you execute.

Frances

Founder & Principal

Frances spent twenty years leading marketing and growth work inside Fortune 500 companies before bringing that experience home to Santa Cruz County. Clients will tell you she doesn’t just advise: she gets in the work with them, and she knows their businesses almost as well as they do.

Rob

Digital Architect

Robert runs the technology side of the practice: managed IT, web builds, and the compliance work regulated firms depend on. He handles the rules (HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, Reg S-P, accessibility) at a depth a generalist can’t, and keeps your technology and your compliance lined up instead of contradicting each other.

Kaila

Operations & Project Manager

Kaila keeps every engagement on the rails: scope, timelines, and the follow-through between meetings. She’s the reason a four-discipline project still feels like one conversation, and the first to catch the details everyone else walks past.
