About Jennyfer
Jennyfer Crawford-Williams is a risk-taker. In 2014, she stepped out on her own to run her business – Ask Jennyfer – full-time.
In many ways, she did so without a net.
With about $1,500 in the bank, she forged ahead and grew a reputable brand marketing firm that now represents more than 250 small businesses and draws more than 12,000 guests to successful small business showcase events like All Things Detroit.
“What inspires me most are fellow entrepreneurs or people who risk it all for something they believe in,” said Crawford-Williams.
That’s precisely her story.
Crawford-Williams, a Crain’s Detroit Business’ 40 Under 40 honoree and 2023 Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award winner, initially found her profession by accident.
Ask Jennyfer's Brands.
With a fine blend of formal business practices and in-the-trenches experience and execution, Ask Jennyfer aims to parlay our expertise as well as proprietary approaches to help small business owners start or grow their business to the next level.
Ask Jennyfer developed and manages the successful small business showcase All Things Detroit. What began as a way to extend consulting services and highlight small business owners has developed into a powerful event. Hundreds of small business owners participate in this inspiring showcase that draws more than 12,000 shoppers each time it is held in Spring and Fall. All Things Detroit is the biggest event to showcase small business owners in Michigan. In 2020, National All Things Detroit Day was created to coincide with the Spring event.

All Things Marketplace began as a national buy-and-sell online platform for small business owners. Building upon the community that developed through successful events like All Things Detroit, All Things Marketplace offers a one-stop-shop where entrepreneurs connect with one another and find their customer base. In 2020, the marketplace opened its brick-and-mortar shop in Detroit’s historic Corktown district, which doubles as a community event space. All Things Marketplace also offers shipping and fulfillment services for small business owners. All Things Marketplace is earned the 2022 Best of MichBusiness Awards as a startup business.
