COLUMBIA, S.C. - s4story -- Ink and Key is a full-service branding and messaging agency that helps health, wellness, and professional service businesses figure out what to say, how to say it, and where to say it so their audiences actually respond. Founded by Columbia-based entrepreneur Lynn Tickner, the agency is built on a simple but powerful idea: clarity drives connection. Tickner and her team apply this approach to every client relationship, guiding businesses to communicate with empathy, purpose, and precision.

"We specialize in helping businesses get their words right," Tickner explains. "A lot of our clients come to us because something's off—their brand isn't connecting like it used to, or they've grown, but their messaging hasn't kept up."

Ink and Key has earned a strong reputation throughout the Southeast for strategy-driven branding and messaging. From rebrands and website copy to more than 500 naming projects, the agency brings clarity and confidence to every engagement.
