The difference

One advisor. One direction.

If you’re still running marketing yourself, or your team and suppliers are pulling in different directions, you don’t need more activity. You need a senior mind in your corner.

Senior direction

Get the thinking of a chief marketing officer without a full-time salary. You always know what to do next, and why.

One plan for everyone

Your team and suppliers stop guessing. I align them behind one direction so every dollar pulls the same way.

Rebel thinking

Rewrite the rules, reignite your business. Author of The Rebel Marketer, built for owners with ambitious growth plans.

A mentor who’s been there

20+ years, founder of The Marketing Factory since 2007, and a guide to numerous boards. Advice you can trust and act on.

Marissa has been such a wonderful mentor. I feel so fortunate to have her support and guidance with everything from day‑to‑day operations, fee structure, sales targets, expense management and so much more for my business.
