ABOUT CRUX KC

Crux merges executive-level marketing and business strategy to provide a simple, smart and affordable marketing solution for our clients. We like to think of ourselves as our clients’ in-house marketing department – outsourced. We bring the same loyalty and dedication to our clients’ mission but at a fraction of the cost of hiring and retaining a senior level marketing team. We know the traditional agency model isn’t an ideal fit for everyone, so we take a different approach. Think of us as the “un-agency.”
