Our Journey
Nexos Marketing aims to highlight the narratives of those historically left out of the conversation. Our team consists of queer, first-generation immigrants and first-generation college grads with a passion for growth and connection; we work to bring you closer to your community.
Nexos Marketing emerged in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic; we quickly launched into action and crafted life-saving messaging and social media campaigns for various health districts across Washington State. As the pandemic evolved, so did our scope of services. We continued connecting communities to resources through our bilingual marketing and social media campaigns. With expertise in marketing and branding, communications, media relations, videography and photography, and event planning and execution, we have produced television commercials, radio ads, and strategically crafted events to develop trusted brands.
