We've walked in your shoes, and built Salesforce for firms like yours

Artichoke is a professional services firm. We’re consultants who build for consultants, agencies, law firms, and accounting practices — which means we understand your business before we touch your Salesforce.

OUR STORY

From Minneapolis to Portland — building something worth keeping

 

Michael and Allie met at the University of Minnesota and relocated to Portland in 2015. After a decade leading IT projects and navigating corporate marketing roles, they co-founded Artichoke in 2021 with a clear purpose: build a sustainable, people-first firm without sacrificing quality or life outside of work.

 

Today, Artichoke is a certified Salesforce Partner with a team of experts across the platform — and a small business that Michael and Allie are genuinely proud to own.

Sustainable by Design

We manage our own capacity so the quality of our work never suffers. Better pace = better results for clients.

People over Process

Our Enablement methodology puts end-user adoption at the center of every implementation, not just go-live dates.

Partners, not Vendors

Clients say working with us feels like hiring on a permanent team. We learn the business, not just the ticket.
