Elevate 40:31: The Marketing Agency Putting Rural Ohio Businesses on the Map

If you’ve ever driven through a place like Green Springs, Bettsville, Clyde, Fremont, or Bellevue, Ohio, you know what a true small-town business looks like—hand-painted signage, loyal locals, and owners who treat you like family. These are the businesses that inspired me to launch Elevate 40:31, a rural marketing agency built specifically for the people who keep these communities running.

I didn’t start Elevate 40:31 to chase high-rise clients or corporate contracts. I started it because I saw a real need for affordable, professional branding and marketing for small-town business owners. As someone who has worked with major hospital systems, government departments, and high-level executives, I can tell you—nothing compares to the passion of a local business owner who loves their town and wants to leave a legacy.

That’s the heart of Elevate 40:31.

Our mission is simple: help rural and small-town businesses grow through smart, modern marketing solutions that feel big city—without the big city cost. Whether you’re a boutique owner in Bellevue or a service provider in Fremont, your business deserves to be seen, supported, and elevated.

Why Elevate 40:31 is Different

Unlike traditional marketing firms, Elevate 40:31 is rooted in the values of small-town life. We understand tight budgets, local pride, and the importance of community relationships. That’s why our services—from custom logos and brand strategy to social media management and content creation—are tailored for rural business needs.

And because we’re a small-town marketing agency, our pricing reflects that. No bloated fees. No unnecessary upsells. Just clean, bold branding strategies that work hard—just like you do.
