Our story
Why we started Anchor USA
Anchor USA was founded in 2022 in Matthews, North Carolina, by a small team of consultants and marketers who had spent years watching great strategies fail in execution — and great campaigns run without a strategy behind them. We set out to close that gap.
From day one, our model has been hands-on and senior-led. We take on a focused number of clients so we can go deep before we ever recommend a tactic. That discipline is how a young firm earned the trust of companies across nearly twenty industries in just a few years.
Today we partner with founders and leadership teams who want more than a vendor — a steady hand that helps them decide where to go, then does the work to get them there.

Meet Shannon Burgess
Shannon brings an operator’s perspective to every engagement. His background spans hands-on industrial operations and maintenance alongside B2B computer hardware, custom computer systems and technology procurement, giving him a rare view of both how businesses run and the systems that keep them running.
Over his career, Shannon has worked across sales, customer service, vendor coordination, infrastructure and fulfillment, partnering directly with customers, suppliers and technical teams on day-to-day operations. That breadth shapes how he advises clients: grounded in what actually works on the floor, not just on paper.
His focus is practical: dependable relationships and strong operating systems. It’s the same standard he holds Anchor USA to: senior attention, honest advice, and accountability that carries through to the result.
