Colton Mulligan is the CEO and Co-Founder of FoxFuel Creative, a strategic branding and marketing agency he launched from his basement in 2015. In year one, the agency was recognized as a top 3 newcomer in North America by the Excellence Awards and named one of Nashville’s top 10 agencies by the Nashville Business Journal. Over their first decade in business they managed $20M in billings and purchased their own office, headquartered off 8th Ave. FoxFuel has grown from a startup to a debt-free agency serving notable clients including TSA Pre-Check, Ascension Health, HCA, Asurion/Sprint, MTE, Ben Folds, RC Matthews, Holland & Knight, Chip & Joanna Gaines, and a half dozen Private Equity companies in naming/branding/launching new platforms.
Colton addresses topics ranging from branding and marketing to entrepreneurship, mental health awareness, vulnerability, and finding balance. Previously he’s served as the keynote speaker, panel moderator, facilitator and he was featured with FoxFuel in a WebMD mini-documentary about creativity and mental health.
Fair warning: When discussing entrepreneurship, the creative process, mental health, or hard-won lessons, there’s a small chance Colton might tear up and a large chance he’ll cuss—all in service of authentic conversation.
