About Us

Crayons & Marketers is a strategic marketing partner for nonprofits and purpose-driven organizations that bring solutions and hope to our communities. With over 25 years of marketing experience, we combine our expertise and passion for service to help nonprofits strengthen their communications and raise awareness of programs and services that make a difference in the lives of those in need.

What Makes Us Different

We offer all the services you’d expect from an experienced marketing agency. What sets us apart is how we approach the work.

People are more likely to support a mission when they see how it connects to what they care about. That’s why we take the time to understand who you want to reach, their values, and what matters most to them. We use that understanding to shape marketing strategies that build meaningful connections and inspire people to support your mission.

How We Work

There are three ways organizations typically work with us:

Marketing Consulting: Expert guidance to clarify your messaging, strengthen your strategy, and make confident marketing decisions.

Project-Based Marketing: Hands-on support for fundraising campaigns, volunteer recruitment, communications, and other special projects.

Full-Service Marketing: An experienced marketing team working alongside yours to plan, manage, and execute your marketing efforts.

If you’re ready to start new conversations with potential supporters or better engage the supporters you already have, reach out to us. We can help.
