Founder

Renee Singleton

Renee Singleton is the founder of Singleton & Partners, the sole multicultural marketing firm in the Northeast Ohio region. Ms. Singleton branched out on her own in 2002 after more than 20 years in marketing and broadcast media industries in Cleveland and Atlanta. Her vision in forming Singleton & Partners was to fill the void between traditional marketing to mainstream America and the need to develop strategies and tactics to target women and the rapidly growing multicultural audience.

Singleton made a commitment to help her clients implement relevant marketing campaigns to reach its diverse communities and remain competitive in the global marketplace. Singleton’s commitment to excellence has been recognized with awards from leading organizations in the industry, including one of Northeast Ohio Top Ten Business Owners by the National Association of Women Business Owners and Kaleidoscope Magazine’s Top Entrepreneur.

In just seven years, Singleton’s efforts have paid off, and her firm has caught the attention of several high-profiled clients. The firm has a proven performance record in planning and executing campaigns on behalf of public and private clients interested in reaching emerging markets. Prior to forming her own company, Singleton served as a general sales manager for Radio One’s Cleveland market. She was the first African-American in local radio to hold that post. During that time, she managed a $15 million annual revenue budget that included negotiations, securing local and national advertisers and developing relationships with the media and community and business leaders.

Singleton earned a bachelor’s degree in business management and is pursuing a master’s degree in marketing.
