About Us
Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Crayons & Marketers is an inclusive marketing company with a passion for developing inclusive marketing strategies for businesses, nonprofits and associations, and governments seeking to meaningfully and responsibly connect with multicultural and multigenerational consumers across all backgrounds and abilities.
As a certified MWBE and DBE, we understand the importance of representation and equity. Our team of seasoned marketers and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) partners go beyond “check-the-box” solutions. We equip you with the marketing tools and insights to respectfully and effectively engage diverse audiences in ways that matter to them.
By being inclusive, you mitigate the risk of perpetuating exclusionary or prejudicial practices that can harm people and your brand. Instead, you build trust and engagement, leading to stronger connections and achieving your marketing goals.
But most importantly, we believe inclusive marketing goes beyond the bottom line. It fosters positive change for individuals and communities.
