Winter 2025

Award-winning advertising agency Elite Media, LLC, is Black-owned, women-led, and committed to producing exceptional work that serves the greater good.

The Blueprint: Challenging the Ad Industry to Do the Most Good

Christopher Crawford, founder and CEO of Elite Media, is a serial entrepreneur who says he is “heaven-bent on having a positive impact” through his full-service creative agency's services.

Recognized by numerous industry outlets for its best-in-class content and advertising, Elite Media has grown from startup to powerhouse during the past decade.

Inspired by the movie “Kidco”—a film about children who start a composting business—when he was young, Crawford became an entrepreneur at a young age. He sold snacks and candy at school, did landscaping in his neighborhood, and launched his first official venture—a creative agency—in college.
