FIRST & FOREMOST...
Thank you for the opportunity to help grow the Council's legacy in a new way.
Who We Are
Padrón & Co. was founded in 2017 by a couple dedicated to helping those who help others.
Our team now helps nonprofits reach new heights and new audiences using:
- Visual storytelling driven by real user experience data
- Every technology available to make your efforts go further
- ROI testing to ensure best positioning, adoption, and understanding
- The best in-house staff with decades of experience in the nonprofit community
OUR MOTTO:
"Empathy by Design"
To create the best work possible, we believe it is our duty to consider everyone who would be interacting with the final product, from the client to their employees to the end user or viewer.
Truly great design, great marketing, and great service are always continual exercises in empathy.
We have spent almost eight years perfecting our company structure. We have hired the best local talent for the needs of our clients. We don’t offer any specialized services we couldn’t complete with our in-house staff, ensuring quality and cost-effectiveness, and giving us the freedom to work with the clients we love.
Proudly based out of the Lyric Tower in Downtown Houston, TX.

Your Leadership Team
Organizational Chart
Our team is broken up into content and creative departments with daily overlap and collaboration.
While Gracie oversees all marketing and strategic planning, Alex and Minhthy ensure all projects are entered into our system, completed on time, and run smoothly.
Daral oversees all content creation, such as social media writing, website content, press releases, and general copyediting.
Ian would be your main web editor and designer. Catherine and Ashley would help with graphic and web support. Yanessa would oversee all of their work as art director to ensure quality.

We will then create a variety of logo design options specific to your capital campaign. We will also explore patterns and textures that will add excitement to the brand without venturing too far from the main brand, and custom iconography for the camps within the main campaign. We will also create a small brand guide that can be executed across all digital and print channels.
