Clarion Marketing

A clear call to ACTION.

After 30+ years of creativity and community, Clarion has closed its doors. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and for the opportunity to creatively collaborate. Please enjoy our companies history through this site.

It is Clarion’s responsibility to help our clients identify that purpose and see that it permeates every interaction our clients and their brands have with customers, distributors, supplier-partners, employees and the media.

Through consistent messaging, beautiful product experiences, and integrity, all corporate and brand communications should perpetuate that single idea of exactly who the marketer is and what it stands for.

In its simplest form, the Clarion Approach translates to one directive for all our clients: “Say What You Do, and Do What You Say.”

SAY What You Do…DO What You Say!
The essence of the Clarion Philosophy…and the emphasis for all communication and implementation emanating from our collaboration with a client’s management team.

Clarion Marketing is a non-traditional, consortium-based agency…equipping clients with a clear, strategic perspective  with definitive “next steps” participation in implementation

Internal communication is our consuming passion.
Our “…SAY What You Do…and DO What You Say!” philosophy seems simplistic…but it’s crucial for establishing the proper internal environment and helping accomplish the organization’s sales and marketing objectives.

Clarion was asked to help create a communication model for a nationally
respected animal feed producer, spearheaded by a network
of research nutritionists, whose senior managers were justifiably
skeptical of industry advertising trends using overstated product claims.

Clarion collaborated with these NH managers to adopt a discipline
incorporating validated nutritional research culminating in

What Others Are Saying.

Clarion is one of those marketing resources that are critical to a fast paced business; they can quickly take on projects that we do not have the headcount or expertise to support in-house.   If your business is looking to add some marketing and advertising “horsepower,” I would highly recommend the Clarion team.

Senior Vice President - Marketing and Sales
@ Comcast

Clarion was instrumental in the design and marketing of the website for Prairie Band Casino & Resort. One attribute that I feel is paramount to Clarion is their attention to detail. Clarion works diligently to gain a full understanding of their client's business model and listens to their challenges when formulating a Strategic Plan. Their drive for excellence and understanding of the Casino's needs helped us to maximize our web presence as well as executing a Strategic Branding campaign that pulled all of our elements together for a successful project.

Retired Chairman
@ Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation

When we wanted to enhance the Paric brand image, we turned to Clarion, and they guided us through a very disciplined, strategic branding process. Not only has this exercise enhanced our brand image to our external audiences, the creative rings true inside the organization – and that was an important component of Clarion’s process.

The campaign has energized our employees while we continue to deliver the exceptional service that we’ve always delivered to Paric customers.
Executive VP @ Paric

I’ve enjoyed the professionalism, friendliness, creativity and ability to bring my projects on budget and on time.  I do recommend Clarion Marketing highly to any prospective clients.


Director of Marketing

With Clarion's support, we were able to negotiate a substantial discount with a major manufacturer of solar viewing glasses that encouraged the purchase of more than 500,000 solar viewing glasses by area organizations.
