Marketing isn't a Department. 

It's Your Business's
Central Nervous System.

Most businesses hire marketers to execute campaigns. You need a strategic advisor who understands that marketing touches everything, and helps you leverage it as the connective tissue between every business function.

If you're a founder or executive leader of a small business wearing too many hats, it's time to stop doing marketing and start leveraging it as your growth engine.

The Real Problem

You've outgrown DIY efforts, in-house chaos, or one-size-fits-all agencies. Marketing keeps pulling you away from what you do best—and you're tired of random tactics that don't connect to real business goals.

You don't need more noise. You need a smarter, simpler approach.

What You Actually Need

Marketing isn't a silo—it's the connective tissue of your business:

  • Leadership makes strategic decisions → Marketing provides competitive intelligence and market positioning insights

  • Operations launches a new service → Marketing translates it into market language

  • Product Development tests a new offering → Marketing validates demand and positioning

  • HR (Human Resources) needs top talent → Marketing builds the employer brand that attracts them

  • Sales needs better close rates → Marketing removes friction with the right materials

 

And that's just the start. You don't need someone to "do marketing." You need a strategic partner who understands how marketing enables everything else.

Who This Is For

We partner with nonprofit leaders, professional service firms, and growing businesses across industries. What matters isn't your sector—it's your mindset. You're a visionary leader ready to stop doing marketing yourself and start leveraging it strategically.

What People Are Saying...

It’s rare to find someone with a strong work ethic and a desire to get projects done in a timely manner. I hired Michelle to manage our digital marketing efforts and within one year she dramatically improved our ROAS. Regardless of the project, Michelle was the team “go to” for help, collaboration, and mentorship. Michelle would be an incredible asset to any marketing team!

Research Professor, Bestselling Author, and Speaker

“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.”

I work with small and midsize businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs committed to equity and impact. I support LGBTQIA+ rights, social and environmental justice, civil rights, and mental health advocacy. I believe in dismantling systems of oppression—patriarchy, white supremacy, and diet culture—and stand with Black Lives Matter and communities of color. As a Compassionate Warrior, I create inclusive spaces grounded in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Wellness, and Belonging (DEIWB).
