Meet Jo-An — Your Local Marketing Partner

Marketing doesn't have to be complicated.

Running a business already comes with enough to think about. Marketing can easily become one more thing sitting on your to do list.

Maybe you have a website that needs updating, a campaign you want to launch, an event coming up, or a long list of marketing ideas you haven't had time to work on.

That's where I can help.

I work with small businesses and organizations on both the planning and the doing. I can help you figure out what to focus on and then get the work moving. That might mean updating a website, improving SEO, creating content, managing email marketing, running ads, or helping with an upcoming event.

You don't always need a big marketing agency or a full time marketing person. Sometimes you just need someone experienced who can step in, take care of a project, and keep things moving.

I bring both strategic thinking and hands on experience to the work, so you don't have to figure everything out on your own.

If you need a hand, I’d be happy to help.
