Big Marketing Solutions
for Small Businesses & Nonprofits
Say goodbye to overpriced agencies.
Say hello to LocalLight.
The LocalLight Mission
LocalLight Marketing Solutions is a resource to help small businesses and nonprofits plan and execute high-level marketing without the inflated costs of a typical agency. We have a simple mission: to bring affordable, full-service marketing to organizations that deserve expert support but often get priced out. We want to help you shine a light on the amazing work you do.
Our Passion is for You
Staff and volunteers from nonprofit LocalLight client Renaissance Center Nashville.
I’ve spent two decades building and leading marketing departments at nonprofits. I know first-hand that resources can be scarce in these environments and that teams — although talented and passionate — run extremely lean.
Have you ever wanted to improve some aspect of your marketing or implement some bold, new tactic that required reaching outside of your organization for skills and resources? If so, I’m willing to bet you were met with a price quote that knocked you over. Welcome to the wonderful world of working with marketing agencies.
You’re not alone. These are actual quotes that I’ve received over the years. They not only brought the plans we were so excited about to a grinding halt, but were frankly just downright insulting:
$5,000 for billboard art design? (just creating the art file, mind you)
$80,000 for monthly digital ad and social management?!?
$130,000 for a 60-second video?!?!?
It simply does not cost these agencies anywhere close to what they charge to execute these services. The mark-up is offensive.
Thus, LocalLight Marketing Solutions was born. Based in the Nashville, TN area, we have all of the expertise and capabilities of a full-service agency but work exclusively with small businesses and nonprofits to provide marketing services, consulting, and training they can afford.
Our priority is to level the playing field. Our passion is for you!

The LocalLight Difference
Affordable and Transparent
LocalLight was founded out of our own frustration with overpriced agencies. We offer affordable services to those who need them most, and are upfront and honest from the beginning about whether or not we’re a good fit to help you achieve your goals.
Executive-Level Marketing Experience
Before starting LocalLight, we worked as vice presidents of marketing across industries in national and international nonprofit and for-profit settings. Don’t settle for freelancers with Canva accounts. Get expert assistance with LocalLight.
Size Doesn’t Matter
Small projects and one-off marketing and graphic design needs are welcomed. Contact us here.
If you’re looking for help with larger-scale projects like a new marketing strategy, multi-channel promotional campaign, rebrand, or ongoing monthly support, we’ll bring our decades of experience to work for you.
Our Work Belongs to You
We won’t hold design files hostage hoping to charge you for edits down the road or build you a website that only we can update. The work we do for you belongs to you!
We’ll provide training so that you have the knowledge and tools necessary to keep any marketing initiatives going or provide you with a retainer proposal to keep everything fresh, effective, and running for you if you’d prefer.
We Care, We Listen
Your needs are unique and so are your goals. We take time to understand your business and put together marketing recommendations that will serve you best. There are no templated plans here!
Let’s Connect!
Contact us with questions or to schedule a quick, 30-minute call to help us understand your needs and specifically what you’d like to accomplish by stepping up your marketing. This is not a sales call. We’ll be upfront and honest about whether or not we’re a good fit to help you achieve your goals.
Fill out the form and we’ll be in touch to set up a time to learn more about your business and your needs!
