“Into the blue again, into the silent water. Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground”
— David Byrne, Talking Heads
Everybody wants to sell you on growth hacks, playbooks, and AI automation …
Meanwhile, you just want to keep the lights on.
Growth marketers will promise you the world and make it seem like their “secret sauce” is exactly what you need. Don’t fall for it. 99% of the time they are just selling tactics, a formula, or a process that ignores the unique nature of your business. And tactics without strategy and a deep understanding of your brand, will get you nowhere fast.
With 20+ years in digital marketing, branding, and SEO — including over a decade growing a 26-person agency — I launched Diviner to support leaders like you who are navigating increasingly difficult marketing challenges. Whether you’re scaling up, repositioning, or trying to get more from your current efforts, we’re here to help you amplify what is unique and powerful about the value you bring.
At Diviner, you work with me, Chris Bolton. If you need more than me, I can bring together top talent specifically chosen for your project — built around your goals, your voice, and your audience.
Let’s talk about where you’re headed — and how to get you there faster, smarter, and with fewer wrong turns along the way.
Our values
Radical candor
Let's be real humans
Life is hard and trying to be someone you're not makes it harder. We make mistakes (and so do you). So let's be real.
Access
Success requires understanding
Black box marketing does not work. We believe that access to high-level information and executive stakeholders is imperative for success.
Focus on impact
Investing where it counts
We believe in finding the best solution even if that solution means a smaller payday for us.
Mutual trust
We can't move forward without it
Suspicions and doubt can erode a partnership or tank a project. Trust building is integral to what we do.
