About

“Into the blue again, into the silent water. Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground”

— David Byrne, Talking Heads
Chris Bolton, Portland marketing consultant

You’ve got a business to grow, customers to serve, and a brand that deserves getting found online …

But everybody wants to sell you on growth hacks, blueprints, AI agents, and automation …

But these are just tactics. And tactics without values, passion, partnership, and trust are nothing but gimmicks and fads dressed up in FOMO. If you want real guidance, experience, creativity, and an eye for opportunity, Diviner might be the partner for you.

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.
