About Our Multicultural Marketing Agency

Buoyant is an award-winning, black-owned multicultural marketing, advertising, and communications agency. Founded in 2015, we help purpose-driven brands deliver measurable impact. We transform outdated and ineffective narratives into compelling stories that elevate underrepresented perspectives. By doing so, all audiences see their stories through a broader lens, opening the door to cultural understanding and new possibilities.

Through deep exploration of people, culture, and community, we use all forms of media at our marketing agency to tell powerful stories that expand the conversation and enrich our collective experience.
