Everything you need,
nothing you don’t.
Elevating brands, Amplifying missions
Crux KC is a Kansas City marketing firm (and the city’s first “un-agency”) that combines executive-level marketing and business strategy to provide a simple, smart and affordable outsourced marketing solution for clients.
YOUR OUTSOURCED MARKETING TEAM
For the longest time, businesses were forced to choose between hiring a traditional marketing agency or hiring an in-house employee(s). Each presents its own risk, including hefty price tags and limited skill sets.
Thanks to our “Door #3” model, businesses can now have the best of both worlds. For an affordable flat monthly fee, clients receive a five-person marketing team with expertise in every marketing discipline: a CMO to build the marketing strategy, an account director, project manager, content writer and graphic designer to execute on that strategy.
With Crux, you gain a skilled marketing team and senior-level experience while amortizing costs and reducing risk.
