Mission
We at Raven & Lotus are a creative and passion-focused Marketing Strategy and Project Management Consultancy for Small B2C and Nonprofit Organizations. In particular, we have a drive to support groups that are passionate about directly serving their community or organizations that are operated by individuals that have been historically marginalized or excluded from the business community. Through the use of Storytelling Frameworks, our purpose is to create both Operations and Marketing Strategies for businesses that want their growth to better serve their communities.
​
Vision
We see the importance in using a storytelling-based approach to developing strong relationships between customers and communities. It is therefore our intention that through our collaborative work, a business landscape is created based on the affordable access to marketing strategies for an organic culture within the marketing industry.
Our commitment is to making your communication efforts clear in even the most complex situations, by fostering the marketing narratives of your organization through end-to-end Marketing Funnel Development, Branding, Strategic Planning, and Business Operations Support.
​
Sustainability
For Raven & Lotus, sustainability is the ability for not just R&L to operate responsibly or to assist your endeavours to make impacts for years to come, but also to dedicate our involvement in the society. We see that it is our responsibility to seek out purpose in our community and ways to grow the health of the areas we serve. To that end, we are a member of the Great Lakes Business Network to protect our water and founded Sonder DEI to elevate our people.
