We are DeepWater Strategies, a growth consultancy helping content creators develop new solutions to navigate uncharted waters.
Our Foundation
Now more than ever, it’s critical to understand what drives audience, community and customer behaviors. Their needs have changed. Their reality has changed. Their media consumption, brand perceptions and purchase habits have all changed. Nobody knows what the future will bring. But we do know that people crave connections, value utility, and believe in purpose. They spend more time creating, consuming, and sharing content on social networks and video platforms than ever before.
We help clients understand the behaviors, passions and preferences of their most passionate fans to get ahead of what comes next.
“We are in the age of engagement marketing. People don’t want to be sold to, they want to be understood.”
— Shawn kallet, FOUNDER
Our experience includes building and leading campaigns, products, platforms, partnerships, teams, brands and companies.
Our Mission
Kent County is one of the most severely underserved communities in Tennessee. To combat this adversity, Project Sprout seeks to nourish our neighbors at the most fundamental level with healthy food options and a strong support network. All members get a portion of each harvest and surpluses are donated to low-income families whose work schedules prevent them from volunteering.

With ten gardens and counting, Project Sprout has seen a significant improvement in mental and physical health for all participating community members. Other than lowering obesity, blood pressure, and depression rates, the crime rate has also fallen. Our children are doing better in school, reporting higher grades and aspirations, and better job prospects.
Get Involved
If you live near one of our gardens, get involved to receive portions of each harvest. We accept volunteers regardless of skill level. There is a rotation in roles, but we’ll teach you all the skills you need to know. Teenagers 14 years and older can earn community service credits for school in addition to getting produce for their families. Donations are also vital to our growth, as we use them for seed, fertilizer, tools, and outreach.
