I’m Melanie the Marketer.

Small businesses and in-house creative teams rely on me.

If your business is too small for its own marketing department, it can be stressful trying to carve out enough time to spend on marketing.

Many of the clients I work with don’t have a dedicated marketing resource. They enjoy having me as their marketer-on-call throughout the month for recurring needs or hiring me for special projects. 

My clients don’t stress out about missed marketing opportunities — they outsource the work to me.

Creative professionals count on me, too.

If you’re a graphic designer, web developer, branding expert or another independent creative pro, you may find yourself with client work on your plate that’s an ill fit for you. It could be content development, blog writing or updates to a WordPress or Squarespace site that you don’t have time for.

Or, maybe you’ve been neglecting your creative firm’s marketing and realize this has to stop. You need a capable, dependable resource — someone who will be a good partner for you, and you need them ASAP.

I’ve worked with in-house creative teams and solopreneur creatives throughout most of my career. I know what it takes to be a valued, trusted partner and someone who understands (and values) the creative process and works hard to keep clients happy, even when they’re not my own.

Marketing
Strategy

Tackling marketing projects one by one can feel like progress. But if your efforts aren’t focused, you waste time and money.

With the right strategy in place, you’ll be more effective at marketing and can more easily evaluate its ROI.

Let’s build a strategic, measurable plan.

Content
and Copy

Bad copy is everywhere. That’s why clear, concise, compelling copy stands out.

Your prospects and customers see your copy every day — on your site and in your newsletter and sales material. Does your copy send the right message?

Let’s make great copy a hallmark of your business.

One-on-One
Support

When it comes to tackling your marketing, is DIY your preference? I do most of my marketing, too, but sometimes — especially as my business grows — I need a helping hand and know who to turn to. 

If you want to bust through the barriers holding you back from positioning and promoting your business, let’s discuss how to move your marketing forward!
