About Animas Marketing

Animas Marketing was founded by Tyler Rice during his senior year at Fort Lewis College in December 2016. What started from a small loft near downtown Durango has grown into one of the most recognized marketing agencies in Southwest Colorado, serving clients from Durango to Pagosa Springs, Cortez, Telluride, and beyond.

Every business is unique, so we refuse to ship cookie-cutter packages. We start by understanding your goals, audience, and competitive landscape — then build a tailored strategy designed to lift search rankings, website traffic, and qualified leads.

The philosophy is simple: transparency, trust, and tailored strategy. We publish our prices, refuse to ship thin content, and put client success first. Clear strategy, clean execution, measured results, and a marketing partner you can reach by first name — that's why most of our clients stay for years instead of months.

Leadership Team

Tyler Rice

CEO & Founder

Tyler founded Animas Marketing during his senior year at Fort Lewis College in December 2016. He built his first website at age 11 and brings 10+ years of focused work in SEO, paid media, and conversion-focused web design to every engagement. A Cumming, Georgia native turned Southwest Colorado fixture, Tyler holds a BA in Marketing from Fort Lewis College and leads strategy across the agency's Durango and Pagosa Springs client base. Quoted or published in VoyageDenver, Entrepreneur.com, and Thrive Global. Recurring speaker at the Durango Chamber Lunch & Learn series.

Every dollar a small business invests in marketing should be working as hard as the owner who earned it.

What Sets Us Apart

Tyler's marketing work and small-business strategy has been published, quoted, or featured in VoyageDenver, Entrepreneur.com, and Thrive Global. He is also a recurring speaker at the Durango Chamber Lunch and Learn series, where local small-business owners and marketers gather to share practical playbooks and case studies from the Southwest Colorado market.

These appearances are not paid placements — they are the byproduct of a decade of grounded, results-first writing and consulting.
