Who we are

We illuminate the messages of Christ in the world
by making nonprofits and churches visible
through digital advertising.

Luminate Marketing is an award-winning agency that spreads the light
of those already creating it in the world, through excellent marketing and fundraising
solutions for nonprofits, churches, entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Sometimes the best messages are the most under-funded. We believe nonprofits, churches, and other mission-focused organizations around the world should have access to the same quality marketing solutions as large budget businesses.

For over 15 years, we have served nonprofits, churches, ministries, and passionate entrepreneurs with marketing excellence, providing them not only exceptional results, but an enjoyable and life-giving experience as well. When you choose our team you can rest assured you are in good hands, and that we will prayerfully serve you and your team with thoughtful recommendations rooted in best practice and years of experience.

Our clients inspire us, and we help them inspire others.

Luminate has been incredible to work with! We love the energy, ideas, and results they have provided to our organization. They took time to understand the heart behind our work and have helped us better express that to potential volunteers and supporters. The Luminate team is fantastic at what they do and our staff always looks forward to our meetings with them. It's also great working with a marketing and design team that has such a strong sense of mission. I more than recommend them.

The team at Luminate Marketing is amazing! They are professional, encouraging, joyful and responsive, as well as providing excellent marketing support and development. They are truly experts in Christian and nonprofit marketing. Our Foundation has enjoyed not just the results, but the partnership. that has formed from working with them.

It is rare to work with a company where you feel as if you are a family member and not simply a client. Their approach to business is one of mutual respect and service. I truly feel as if they are serving our organization into greatness with their high level of professionalism, excellence and care. They care about who we are, what we do, and where we want to go. And that is why Luminate is our choice for marketing services.

As a result of the valuable creative marketing strength exhibited by Luminate, our church leadership team was able to introduce a comprehensive brand redesign to our congregation and community. We'd work with them again – in a heartbeat.

Executive Director, GRIP Outreach For Youth

When working with Luminate Marketing last year, the first thing I was struck by was the servant heart of Lynne. Her primary desire was to serve our organization’s needs and meet the vision for our demographic—even putting the organization above her own creative agenda. It’s comforting to know when working with a contractor that you can trust their character and trust their desire to work with your organization’s vision. It’s that type of comfort that you can find with Luminate Marketing.

I was absolutely blown away by Lynne’s insight, expertise and her team's quick turn-around time for our project. The designs they created were not only aesthetically excellent and right in line with our vision, but Luminate also provided a strong strategy for implementation in order that we could execute our work timely and effectively.

We love the team at Luminate Marketing! Very personable and they take our very minimal budget and turn it into a vision that is accomplished with perfection!

Co-Director, Latin Equip

Luminate Marketing did more than just provide us with a beautiful, functional website. They partnered with us to create ideas and communicate our message in a relevant and effective manner.

We appreciate the relationship that we have built with the Luminate team, and their unique understanding of Latin Equip as a modern day mission outreach.

Luminate Marketing thank you...for everything.
