New About

Passion and perseverance – can you imagine any origin story without it? We can’t either. Design the Planet was born and raised in New Orleans (a weird and unique planet unto itself) and this is our story.

Starting Design the Planet wasn’t Adrienne’s first spacewalk. It is the place where she can pour all of her vision and creativity into projects of her choosing. With a passion for working with local Louisiana brands, she leverages her impressive marketing and design background. What else? She harnesses her immense creative and strategic abilities to help local businesses prosper. Adrienne’s drive to make the world a better place is what has shaped Design the Planet into the website development and marketing team you know and love today. She didn’t set out to become a website and online marketing guru, but sometimes you have to go where the slip-stream takes you… And, she didn’t get here alone. A one-woman team doesn’t have all of the skill-sets and available time needed to plan and develop badass-marketing-genius websites. Adrienne has pulled together some serious talent who love to live and breathe client growth with marketing voodoo. Wanna read up on the rest of the team?

Yes, New Orleans is home and we love working with inspiring businesses from all over.

What makes Design the Planet special?

25 years ago Adrienne and Robert Folse noticed local businesses in the New Orleans area scrambling to successfully transition to digital marketing. Companies that embody the culture and spirit of Louisiana were struggling to compete online and with large corporations. Even though they offered top-quality products and services that could be beyond successful with some professional marketing guidance, local companies were struggling to adapt to the coming online business tsunami. Dial-up was getting faster and becoming more reliable, and businesses began searching for marketing partners who could get them online reliably and cost-effectively.

Every business we work with brings something unique to this world, and our job is to make sure these voices are heard. To drive real change, results, and success, you need the right marketing partner on your side. South Louisiana needed digital marketers who understood the area and its people; a team specifically focused on supporting local entrepreneurs and growing businesses. And, just like that, Design The Planet was born.

Design the Planet creative, management and administrative team

Design the Planet isn’t out to just make a quick buck by selling the same templates to every client. We want our solutions to be as unique as our clients’ businesses. Our passion is helping second-stage businesses reach their next goals and beyond, so our clients aren’t just bystanders. Together as partners, we work to create a marketing stack specifically tailored to their business needs, goals, and challenges.

Design the Planet has worked to build and grow some of the most recognized South Louisiana brands. We have come to understand that marketing can be quite different across various industries, so we have built a flexible and knowledgeable team with a variety of skill sets. We are also proud to say Geaux Tigers and “Who Dat?!” when we connect with our friends around town. We believe living in a big city on the edge of a swamp with a port-of-call and laissez-faire lifestyle encourages creativity and out-da-box thinking. And, That’s what it takes to produce effective digital marketing today.

So, where does strategy come in? … Glad you asked. It starts with your brand purpose. Let’s consider your vision and mission, and how they impact your brand story. Your brand strategy and business goals determine your marketing toolkit, or website, and must be concrete before your marketing tactics are considered. We dig deeply into your WHY, your WHAT, and your HOW. When you partner with Design The Planet, we help develop and communicate your brand digitally with a comprehensive digital marketing toolkit 100% tailored around you, and designed to attract the audience and customers your business needs!
