Aerospace Marketing in Colorado Springs
About 8,000 military and civilian employees work at Schriever Space Force Base, and Space Base Delta 1 at Peterson supports nearly 17,000 personnel, according to the Space Force. We help Colorado Springs aerospace, space and defense suppliers reach program offices, primes and engineers with capability-driven websites, LinkedIn and search campaigns, event marketing around the Space Symposium and a CRM built for long pursuits.
Space Force installations, a moving command and engineering talent
Two Space Force bases and a garrison
Space Base Delta 1, headquartered at Peterson Space Force Base, has more than 2,800 military and civilian members supporting nearly 17,000 personnel, and Peterson traces its roots to the Colorado Springs Army Air Base of 1942. Schriever Space Force Base, roughly 10 miles east, employs about 8,000 military and civilian staff and, by the Space Force's estimate, indirectly contributes $1.3 billion a year to the Colorado Springs area. The Army's Fort Carson and the Air Force Academy are close neighbors.
U.S. Space Command's move to Alabama
The President announced on September 2, 2025 that U.S. Space Command's headquarters would relocate from Colorado Springs to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, and on April 29, 2026 the command took operational control of a facility there, calling it another step in its transition. Suppliers that support the command should plan for buyers and stakeholders in both states during the move, while the Space Force bases themselves remain in El Paso County.
Where the engineering firms are
El Paso County's 2023 business counts show 5,903 people working at 267 engineering services establishments and 1,981 at 59 physical and engineering R&D labs, against just 5 establishments in the aerospace product and parts manufacturing code. Because firms doing space work can sit under several industry codes, targeting by job title, employer and program is more reliable than targeting by industry label.
Defense marketing realities
Long, documented pursuits
Defense and space contracts move through capture plans, teaming agreements and formal solicitations over months or years. Marketing has to support each stage with the right content, not just generate a first inquiry.
Controlled information
Export-controlled technical data and anything sensitive stays off public pages and out of ad platforms. Capability statements describe what you do in releasable terms, and detailed material moves only through approved channels.
Small market, named accounts
The buyers who matter can often be listed by name. Account-based campaigns on LinkedIn, aimed at specific primes and program offices, focus budget on the people who can award or influence work.

Questions and answers
It is moving. After a presidential announcement on September 2, 2025, the headquarters began relocating to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, and the command assumed operational control of a facility there on April 29, 2026. Peterson and Schriever Space Force Bases remain in the Colorado Springs area, so suppliers may need campaigns aimed at both states.
By keeping marketing factual and releasable. We avoid implying government endorsement, keep controlled technical data off public channels, follow any contract terms on publicity, and focus campaigns on capabilities, certifications and past performance you are allowed to share.
For many suppliers, yes. Its 41st edition filled The Broadmoor April 13 to 16, 2026, and the Space Foundation has set April 12 to 15, 2027 for the next. A campaign can secure meetings beforehand with targeted LinkedIn ads and a booking page, then follow up afterward through the CRM.
