Strategy grown from the ground up.

Don Swanson Marketing is a small, independent studio in Portland, Oregon. We believe great marketing isn’t loud — it’s honest, strategic, and deeply connected to place and purpose.

From the rainy streets of the Pearl District to the trails of the Columbia Gorge, we draw inspiration from the Pacific Northwest to create work that lasts.
