About the Company
Overview of Illuminated Marketing
Illuminated Marketing seeks to tell good stories that help our clients and community thrive. Through authentic branding, intentional marketing strategy, and well-crafted content, our boutique agency invites people into a story of their flourishing.
Authentic Branding: From a grounded place of self-awareness, we help businesses craft a brand identity that resonates with their ideal audience and feels like them.
Intentional Marketing Strategy: Marketing is the ongoing process of building intentional relationships with clients. We come alongside businesses to develop clear and effective strategies to foster strategic relationships that help your business and your clients thrive.
Well-Crafted Content: A clear message is the most essential component of an effective marketing strategy. Unlike design-centered marketing agencies, we start with the words, and build strong relationships among clients and businesses.
