TRUSTED PARTNERS
FOR THE CLIMB.
Founded by Matteson Rushing-Costner, Steig Advisory & Hospitality partners with experience-based businesses to create sustainable growth through strategy, customer experience, operations, marketing and leadership development.
​
After launching multiple businesses, including Rushing Trading Co. and Chillybean Coffee Co., and helping brands grow across hospitality, retail and agriculture, Matteson built Steig around a simple idea: growing a great business takes more than a great concept. It takes the right strategy, brand, systems and people behind it.
​
Today, Steig brings together a team of specialists to help businesses build those pieces intentionally. Jenna leads brand design and strategy, translating a company’s vision into a distinct, cohesive brand built to connect with the right customer.
Â
Andy brings expertise in IT, infrastructure and security, helping businesses build the technology and systems needed to operate securely and scale with confidence.
Â
Together, we approach growth from every angle; from the experience customers see and feel to the strategy, operations and infrastructure working behind the scenes.
"Having the Steig team alongside us as partners gave us confidence that we'll launch our brand with intention and purpose from day one."
