About Alien Artisan | San Diego Craft Marketing Agency

Co-founders of Alien Artisan: Jeff and Allison Bennett, combining creative and marketing expertise

Who We Are

Now Here's A Little Story I've got To Tell...

Alien Artisan began as a side project while Jeff was in college helping local businesses with graphic design to support his tuition. After graduating, Jeff built a successful career in the fitness and wellness industry, crafting media and branded content for leading names. During that time he continued to grow Alien Artisan mostly as a creative outlet. Over time, that outlet became something he was ready to do full time and 10 years later he's never looked back.

In 2024, Allison joined full-time, bringing a decade of marketing experience from top agencies. She's developed strategies for hundreds of small businesses and wanted the freedom to build the kind of partnerships she believed in, creative, collaborative, and tailored to each client.

Together, we’ve built Alien Artisan into a studio where creativity meets strategy and where businesses get the attention and expertise they deserve.

Why We Work Differently

Strategy Rooted in Reality, and Driven by Curiosity

Real Market Research

We don’t rely on surface level data. We dig deep, interviewing staff, studying local competitors, and understanding what’s truly driving (or blocking) growth. We won't sell you a dream; we build strategies grounded in your reality.

We’ve Sat Where You Sit

We’ve owned businesses and come from families of small business owners. From creative studios to contracting companies, we understand the grind and that fuels our commitment to clarity, speed, and respect.

We Adapt, Tweak, and Learn

Every campaign teaches us something. We monitor data actively and make changes often, especially with ad spend, where the wrong targeting can waste real dollars really quickly. Optimization isn't a buzzword here, it's what we do.

We Maximize What You Have

Need fresh creative? We’ve got you. But we’re also experts at making the most of what’s already there. As kids raised in hand-me-downs, we’re resourceful and creative. We’ll stretch every asset and every dollar.

What Drives Us

Why We Do What We Do

We’ve seen small businesses with big potential get stuck. They're often under served by massive agencies, overwhelmed by DIY options, and lost in the shuffle. Alien Artisan exists to change that.
We help businesses clarify their brand, attract the right customers, and scale sustainably. We believe in thoughtful work, honest feedback, and long-term partnership. Good marketing isn’t just about reach it’s about resonance.

Rooted in Community: We’re proud to be based in San Diego and even prouder to support fellow small businesses across the country.
Hands-On by Design: From our first meeting to every campaign update, we stay in it with you—no hand-offs, no middlemen.
One Client Per Market: We promise exclusivity. That means we’ll never work with your direct competitors. You get our full focus and the confidence that your marketing partner is 100% on your side.
