Beacon Digital is a family-owned marketing agency rooted in Middle Tennessee. We’re here to help local small businesses grow through smart SEO, thoughtful web design, and social media that actually connects. More than just marketing, we’re about building lasting relationships and giving entrepreneurs the confidence to share their story with the world.
At Beacon Digital, we believe every small business has a story worth sharing. Our mission is simple: help small businesses tell their story to the right people at the right time through digital marketing strategies.
Founded in Middle Tennessee by entrepreneur and digital marketing expert Shaphan Sylvester, Beacon Digital is built on decades of real-world experience in sales, marketing, and business development. We’ve supported dozens of local businesses and community events, from storefronts and service companies to large-scale fundraisers and non-profit organizations.
We are here to help your small business navigate the fast changing world of digital marketing and sharing your story online.
Helping isn’t just something we check off a list, it’s the way we see the world. Whether it’s through tools, stories, or policies, everything we build is about lifting people up. We want to make life a little better for others and for ourselves, helping each of us grow into the best version of who we’re meant to be.
Values are more than words on a wall; they’re the bonds that create community. They guide us like a compass, shaping how we show up for each other every day. We value honesty, trust, and loyalty because principles protect what makes us human and keep us deeply connected.
Mistakes don’t scare us, they inspire us. They’re proof that we had the courage to take a risk. We encourage bold ideas and experimentation because that freedom is what sparks creativity, growth, and results worth celebrating.
We believe progress happens when you move forward, not when you wait for perfection. That’s why we trust our instincts, make thoughtful choices quickly, and keep things moving. A good decision today will always beat a perfect one that never happens.
We don’t just make things, we create experiences with heart. Every detail, whether it’s in design, story, or code, carries intention. Beauty matters because it reflects who we are and reminds us why we’re here to help people
