About Us
Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Crayons & Marketers is an experienced 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.
With over 25 years of marketing and communications expertise, we bring more than creative ideas—we deliver measurable results. Our team blends strategic thinking with cultural intelligence to help organizations navigate today’s diverse marketplace with confidence, reduce reputational risk, and uncover untapped revenue opportunities.
How We’re Different: We offer all the traditional and digital marketing services you’d expect from a capable firm. But what makes us different is how we do it. Every tactic is filtered through a cultural lens, powered by insights from our multicultural market research partner and our team’s commitment to continued learning to ensure your message connects with real people in the way that matters to them.
People notice—and appreciate—when brands take the time to craft messaging with their values, identities, and lived experiences in mind.
For companies, this means campaigns that support revenue growth, strengthen customer relationships, and sustain brand health.
For nonprofits, it means outreach that connects with donors across various backgrounds to unlock new donor dollars and grow a more diverse and engaged donor base.
For government agencies, it means community-centered communication that improves access, increases participation, and builds public trust.
If your marketing doesn’t click with your audience, it won’t work. We’re here to help make sure it does.
