marketing should be as meaningful as the memories we make and the stories that mold us.
We Create Meaningful Marketing
Sawgrass Marketing was founded in 2017 to help luxury brands immerse their customers in the feeling of pristine, natural beauty. For our Founder, Courtney Ross, that feeling is found along the Forgotten Coast. As an ode to her Southern heritage, Sawgrass Marketing was named after the vast marshlands that cover the southeastern United States and host a diverse ecosystem of wildlife and natural beauty.
Now, that same organic purity of the outdoors often inspires and guides our branding and marketing strategies. We find that people connect most to the environments in which they are surrounded and help our clients create stories in which their customers can relate to. With purposeful marketing, we create meaningful relationships.
The Sawgrass team now spans four states along the southeastern coast, two countries, and works with clients worldwide. Courtney and her team have over 30 years of combined experience in branding and marketing strategy.
& It Starts with You.
As a certified United States military-spouse owned business and conservation advocate, every year Sawgrass Marketing donates to two causes close to our hearts - military spouse entrepreneurship and marshland conservation.

military spouse entrepreneurship
As a spouse of a USMC pilot, Courtney Ross has seen first hand how difficult it can be for military spouses to find flexible employment opportunities, especially for highly educated, ambitious spouses. According to Hiring Our Heroes, military spouse unemployment may be as high as 38% post the COVID-19 pandemic. To help ambitious men and women kickstart their business, Sawgrass Marketing is committed to providing three military spouse owned start ups with complimentary branding every year.

MARSHLAND CONSERVATION
It’s a little known fact that marshlands are an integral part of a balanced wildlife ecosystem and combatting rising atmospheric CO2 levels (a major player in climate change). In a study published in Nature, wetlands can accumulate large carbon stores, in some cases, even more than 40% soil carbon. As a tribute to our namesake and protecting the natural beauty of our planet, Sawgrass Marketing donates a portion of our annual proceeds to marshland conversation.
