FOUNDATION
Where vision, purpose, and strategy converge to build something that lasts.
Group Forty Three is a full-service creative agency devoted to transforming vision into legacy.
We build brands with soul — living, breathing ecosystems designed to grow, resonate, and endure. Each project is approached as a singular mission, rooted in purpose and shaped by strategy. Purpose is the seed. Strategy is the soil. This is the foundation. From brand architecture to visual identity, digital presence, and multi-stream business models, we offer end-to-end execution that honors both the depth of your calling and the demand of the marketplace. We don’t replicate. We extract essence — creating a refined framework that allows you to lead with clarity, build with confidence, and expand with intention.
At the helm is Katherine Macri, whose role is both architect and visionary, guiding the process from the first spark of alignment to the final phase of expansion. Surrounding each project is a curated circle of creative experts — strategists, designers, developers, writers, and advisors — each hand-selected for their mastery and their resonance with your unique mission. This dynamic model allows us to build tailored, multi-dimensional brands that are not only visually captivating but structurally sound, energetically aligned, and built for long-term impact.
For those with vision, purpose, and the courage to scale — this is where it begins.
meet Katherine
I wrote my first book by hand when I was 11 and mailed it off—paper, envelope, postage stamp and all—to Little Brown and Company.
They rejected it, of course.
It was then that I fell in love with failure . That moment lit a spark that’s never gone out. From then on,I knew I wouldn’t live a life built by someone else’s blueprint.
I was here to create, to test limits, and to help others bring their impossible ideas to life .
