About Carly DeFilippo

Carly DeFilippo is the co-founder of Cognoscenti Creative, a Denver-based branding and creative studio. Her career has spanned the fields of copywriting, marketing and brand strategy, with a particular focus on the food and hospitality sectors. 

After earning a Master’s degree in Paris—studying French culture and culinary criticism—she spent a decade in New York City, leading content marketing efforts for the Institute of Culinary Education and The Dinex Group (Chef Daniel Boulud). After several years immersed in the world of award-winning chefs, sommeliers and service professionals, she pivoted to an e-commerce start-up environment, leading B2C brand creative for food product design company W&P. 

In 2015, she co-founded Cognoscenti Creative (with her sister, Lauren, a graphic designer and photographer) with the goal of offering comprehensive branding and brand storytelling services at a scale more accessible to entrepreneurs.
