Driving change
together
As marketing professionals with experience in the non-profit, start-up, and faith-based sectors, we know your struggle!
Your mission can change the world – if only people knew what you did. We can help you establish digital marketing campaigns that connect your mission and message with those who need it most.
We do this by:
- Ensuring consistent brand voice;
- Building brand trust;
- Writing like humans - not bots; and
- Creating content that converts
Inclusive messaging
as a non-negotiable
No matter the industry, inclusive messaging – when not done correctly – can feel performative.
Building an intentional inclusive and accessible brand identity is going to separate you from the rest. Never be afraid to share your inclusive principles with the world in a way that is authentic to you!
Cottonwood Creative
is unlike any other agency
We are partners to your organization and cause.
Unfortunately, it can be common for agencies to sell clients things they don’t understand or simply don’t need. Not us!
Cottonwood Creative partners with your existing team as contract marketing professionals, saving you the hassle of hiring. Whether on a project or retainer basis, think of us as your fully remote marketing team!
We will never:
- Sell you products/services you don’t need;
- Share your data without your express permission;
- Withhold information that may improve your outcomes; or
- Provide strategic input without citing data or reputable sources.
