ABOUT KEN COLLINS MARKETING

Experience behind
every next step.

Thoughtful design, marketing, and advertising. A plan built around your business. And a relationship with the person whose name is on the door.

BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS

Different businesses.
The same personal commitment.

Ken Collins Marketing helps businesses bring their design, marketing, and advertising together around a clear purpose. Founded in 2015 and based in Farmington, New Mexico, we work with clients locally and nationwide.

We never settled on a single industry. Our clients kept coming from different fields, with different challenges, budgets, and ambitions—and that variety became part of what makes the work rewarding.

Whether the project is small and focused or broad in scope, we start by understanding the business behind it. The goal is useful work that fits who you are and where you want to go.

Your point of contact.
From the first conversation.

I’m Ken Collins. I personally handle every client relationship at Ken Collins Marketing. When you call, ask a question, or talk through an idea, you work with me.

Behind the scenes, I coordinate a team of 20–30 contract professionals to help deliver the work. You gain the skills your project needs while keeping one consistent point of contact.

My background spans military service, operations, systems, technology, customer service, public relations, and marketing. Across those roles, I’ve earned recognition for solving problems, improving how work gets done, and helping people succeed.

I enjoy getting to know other business owners, learning what makes their businesses different, and seeing their excitement when the work opens possibilities they hadn’t imagined.

HOW WE WORK

Understanding comes before recommendations.

We begin with a conversation about you: what you value, what you want, what you need, and where you want to go. Then we look at the business, its customers, and its industry. That understanding shapes the plan, the services, and the budget.

A plan that fits.

Your business deserves more than a standard package applied without context. We recommend work that aligns with your goals, values, customers, and resources.

Purpose over trends.

The newest tactic isn’t always the best next step. We help you weigh the opportunity, the time involved, and the effect on your brand before deciding where to invest.

Accessible, sustainable help.

We keep services as affordable as we can while sustaining the quality and support clients rely on. The aim is to free you to focus on the work where you bring the most value.

WHERE IT STARTED

From one company’s marketing
to many businesses’ goals.

After managing marketing as an employee, Ken co-founded an agency with two partners in 2009. The idea was straightforward: bring the same dedication to many businesses that they had brought to one.

As the partners’ visions evolved, they closed that agency in 2014. Ken founded Ken Collins Marketing in 2015 as its sole owner, building a business around personal accountability, adaptable services, and lasting client relationships.

Listening closely to clients has continued to shape what comes next.
