Focused strategy. Real results.

I help nonprofits rise above the noise and focus on what actually works, because your time is too valuable to waste on marketing that doesn't move people.


Hi, I’m Marissa.

For 20+ years, I’ve helped nonprofits focus on what really matters. From designing and managing complex campaigns to building impactful marketing plans, I rise above the messy details to bring strategic plans to life and drive real, impactful results.

How I help

My services

  • Strategic communications & brand development

    Your strategic plan deserves marketing that actually works. I partner with nonprofits to translate vision into actionable plans, messaging, and stories that drive measurable impact, not just empty metrics.

  • Community & engagement programs

    I help nonprofits and community organizations design experiences and initiatives that engage supporters, foster meaningful connections, and strengthen your mission’s community impact.

  • Donor communications & retention

    I craft messaging, storytelling, and engagement strategies that deepen donor loyalty, enhance giving experiences, and drive long-term support.
