06 — About

A senior team that does the work it sells.

Consense is an intelligence, strategy, and creative agency based in the Bronx. Our roots span political campaigns, culture, entertainment, and technology. Across those worlds, we learned to understand an audience, give an idea a clear voice, and make it work in public. That mix of discipline and imagination shapes everything we do.

The founder

Christian Amato

Strategist, writer, entrepreneur, and creative technologist.

For more than a decade, Christian has helped candidates, organizations, and institutions turn complicated ideas into messages and experiences people can understand and act on. He founded Consense to bring strategic thinking and creative practice together, from the first question to the finished work.

A former candidate for the New York State Senate, he has also served in community and political leadership roles in New York City. Born and raised in the Bronx and the son of Italian immigrants, he lives and works in New York.

The common thread: giving ideas language, giving people tools, and turning imagination into something tangible.

How we work

You work directly with the senior people shaping your strategy and making the work. We stay deliberately small, with clear responsibilities and a close connection between what we learn and what we build.

Our standards

We agree on what success looks like, measure what we can, and are clear about what the evidence shows. We check every engagement for conflicts with current clients and address them before work begins.

What we believe

Persuasion is not guesswork. It can be researched, designed, tested, and improved.

Work directly with the people doing the work.

Tell us what you’re working on and what you want to change. We’ll discuss the fit, the scope, and the next steps.
