Partners

Judson Lee

Principal

Judson Lee has spent his entire 20+ year career in varied creative and business pursuits, from music production to specialty retail startups to brand strategy and marketing, with several points in-between. His diverse skill set and experiences have led to opportunities to serve clients and partners ranging from media titans such as NBC and ABC, cultural heavyweights like Saturday Night Live, and a range of fashion, music, and retail brands around the country.

Lee spent nearly a decade in Los Angeles, working in the film, television, and music industries in various roles from executive producer to re-recording mixer and composer. His clients included Universal, Sony Computer Entertainment, Paramount Pictures, MTV, E! Entertainment, Discovery Channel, and dozens more.

After returning to his native Fayetteville, Arkansas in 2012, Lee formed a new business partnership and launched The Independent, men’s specialty retail stores focused on contemporary clothing and lifestyle essentials. Lee served as managing partner, spearheading annual growth and guiding the business to recognition annually as “Best of” retail shops in both local and regional publications.

In 2017, Lee joined BLKBOX as Director of Brand & Business Development, before becoming Partner and Principal. In 2023, Lee and his partners reorganized BLKBOX as LOVE and ROCKETS to focus more deeply on strategic brand work. Lee is a Principal and Partner in the brand consultancy and creative group today, and lives in Fayetteville with his wife, Ashley, and his four sons, Liam, Noel, Luke, and Gray.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you based, and do you work with clients outside of Arkansas?

We're based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, but our client work has taken us well beyond Northwest Arkansas. We have worked with organizations, large and small, across the country and even internationally. We are comfortable collaborating remotely, traveling when it matters, and building relationships that don't depend on proximity.

What size clients do you work with?

All sizes. We've partnered with startups building their first brand, regional businesses ready to think bigger, arts and cultural institutions, consumer brands, and Fortune 100 companies. Size isn't the qualifying factor—ambition and alignment are.

What does working with you cost?

We work across a variety of budgets, and our pricing is directly tied to the depth and scope of the work. A focused project is scoped differently than a long-term retained engagement, and we're transparent about what things cost and why. The best way to get a sense of what your project might require is to reach out and tell us what you're working on. We'll take it from there.

What does a typical engagement look like from start to finish?

Most engagements begin with a discovery and strategy phase: research, stakeholder conversations, competitive analysis, and the foundational work that informs everything that follows. From there, we move into creative development, refinement, and delivery. The shape of that process varies depending on the scope, but the through-line is always the same: strategy first, creative second, execution third.

How long does a typical project take?

Depending on the scope of the project, it could run anywhere from weeks to months. We'll give you a clear timeline at the outset and flag any factors that might affect it along the way.

How does the fractional team model work?

Think of it as having a senior brand and marketing team without the overhead of full-time hires. We embed in your organization, shape the strategy, and execute the work—functioning as an extension of your team rather than an outside vendor. It's a model that works particularly well for organizations that need consistent, high-level brand leadership but aren't able or willing to build that capacity in-house.

How do you work with clients?

Every engagement starts with a conversation. We want to understand your organization, your goals, and the challenges you're trying to solve before we talk about solutions. From there, we develop a scope of work tailored to your specific needs, whether that's a focused sprint or a longer-term strategic partnership. We work collaboratively and transparently throughout, keeping you close to the process without making you do our job for us.

How do engagements get started?

Reach out. Seriously—just send us an email at hello@loveandrockets.com and tell us a little about your project. We'll set up a conversation, ask a lot of questions, and figure out together whether we're the right fit. No lengthy intake forms, no hard sell. Just a conversation.

Do you work on project-based engagements or retainers?

Both. Some clients come to us with a specific project, like a rebrand, campaign, or a website. Others engage us on an ongoing basis as their fractional brand management team. We're comfortable in either model and will recommend the structure that best serves your goals.

Do you specialize in certain industries?

We've worked across a wide range of industries: retail, arts and culture, food and beverage, real estate, energy, healthcare, hospitality, and more. Our approach is transferable because good strategy and great creative aren't industry-specific. That said, our breadth of experience means we bring genuine perspective to almost any category we enter.

Can we hire you for just one service, or do you require a full engagement?

We're flexible. Some clients come to us for a single deliverable like a website, visual identity, or a campaign. Others need the full suite. We don't require a minimum scope, but we do require that whatever we take on is done well. If a project isn't scoped in a way that allows us to do our best work, we'll tell you that upfront.

Are you the right fit for a small business or startup?

Absolutely. Some of our most rewarding work has been with organizations at the earliest stages of building their brand. There's something uniquely exciting about helping a business find its voice and visual identity for the first time, when everything is possible and nothing is set in stone. If you're a startup or small business with big ambitions and a clear sense of what you're building, we'd love to talk.
