About us
At QED, we help businesses grow faster with marketing that's creative, strategic, and proven to work.
What's QED, Anyway?
QED stands for quod erat demonstrandum – Latin for "which was to be demonstrated" or "thus it has been proven." It used to be written at the end of mathematical proofs, like a confident little mic drop: Boom. Nailed it.
We like that mindset because great marketing doesn't just sound good – it works. Around here, we build strategies that are testable, provable, and results-driven.
How We Work
We believe great marketing is part science, part storytelling, and falls in line with a few criteria:
Testable & Scalable
Every strategy should be measurable and built to grow with you.
No Overcomplications
We keep things simple, clear, and focused on what actually moves the needle.
High-Impact Partnership
We plug in seamlessly, whether you need a full team or a sharp extension of your crew.
We partner best with growing teams that need high-impact support without the red tape. Whether you need a full outsourced marketing team or a sharp extension of your in-house crew, we're built to plug in and deliver.
About Jon Gimpel
Founder, QED Creative
Jon built his marketing career from the ground up starting as a content manager at an SEO firm after earning his English degree from The Ohio State University. That early grounding in content led him straight into inbound lead generation and strategy work built around one goal: results that compound.
Over the years, he has delivered growth for organizations like Optum, Abbott, Cardinal Health, and Mix Talent, alongside dozens of other businesses spanning Fortune 50 companies to early-stage startups, B2B and B2C, life sciences and beyond. Across every engagement, the throughline is the same: sharper messaging, stronger pipelines, and measurable brand growth. That track record of turning strategy into results is what led him to found QED Creative.
Jon lives in Columbus, OH, with his wife, Stephanie, and their sons, Max and Cooper. When he's not working, you'll likely find him with his family or on the golf course.
