FOLIO OF WORK

I don’t believe in marketing for marketing’s sake. I build clear systems, aligned brands, and measurable growth for experience-based businesses. Often stepping in when things feel scattered, overwhelming, or stuck.


Below are a few tangible examples of how my work shows up in the real world.

The Common Thread


Every brand you see here had one thing in common:

They didn’t need more marketing noise.

They needed direction, leadership, and systems that worked.


That’s where I come in.

What you can expect...

  • When your marketing finally makes sense, everything else clicks.
  • Bookings become consistent
  • Your brand becomes a destination, not just a name
  • Your team knows exactly what to focus on
  • You stop wasting money on scattered services
  • You show up like a premium brand, not a panicked one


This is what happens when strategy replaces stress.

Website Design + Social + Lead Attraction

Experience Prescott

 

Hospitality & Experience-Based Brand

Services Provided:

Brand Direction · Website Design · Social Strategy · SEO Optimization · Lead Attraction · Analytics  · Public Relations  · Contractor Management

The Challenge:

This experience-based destination marketing organization had a beautiful offering but their website wasn’t converting. Traffic was inconsistent, inquiries were unclear, and the brand story felt diluted across pages.

What I Did:

I led a full strategic rebrand and website redesign focused on:

  • Conversion-focused UX and customer journey mapping
  • Visual storytelling aligned with the guest experience
  • SEO-optimized page structure for hospitality and tourism search terms
  • Clear calls-to-action designed to increase hotel bookings and DMO inquiries

The Outcome:

  1. A website that clearly communicates value within seconds
  2. Improved inquiry quality (fewer “just browsing” leads)
  3. A scalable foundation that supports seasonal campaigns and growth

Why It Matters:

This wasn’t just a website refresh; it became the central hub of their marketing ecosystem, supporting content, PR, and social channels seamlessly.

Fractional CMO + Contractor Management

Founder-Led Lifestyle & Tourism Brand

 

Services Provided:

Fractional CMO Leadership · Contractor Management · Social Media Strategy · Content Direction · Analytics

The Challenge:

The founder was juggling multiple contractors: designers, photographers, and social media support, with no central strategy. Messaging felt inconsistent, deadlines slipped, and marketing felt expensive without a clear ROI.

What I Did:

I stepped in as a Fractional CMO to:

  • Create a cohesive marketing strategy and content roadmap
  • Manage and align contractors under one brand vision
  • Establish systems for approvals, timelines, and performance tracking
  • Ensure messaging stayed consistent across social, website, and campaigns

The Outcome:

  1. Reduced overwhelm for the founder
  2. Stronger brand consistency across all channels
  3. A smoother, more cost-effective marketing operation
  4. Clear performance metrics tied to actual business goals

Why It Matters:

Most brands don’t need more people; they need leadership and organization. This engagement replaced chaos with clarity.

Content Creation + Public Relations

Tending What Sustains

 

Wellness / Slow Luxury Personal Brand

Services Provided:

Content Creation · Brand Storytelling · Public Relations · Lead Attraction

The Challenge:

This brand had a loyal local following but lacked visibility beyond her immediate market. Her story was powerful, but it wasn’t being told consistently or strategically.

What I Did:

I developed a content and PR strategy focused on:

  • Brand-aligned storytelling for wellness and slow luxury audiences
  • High-quality photo and written content designed for media and digital use
  • Strategic outreach and partnerships aligned with brand values
  • Messaging that positioned the brand as an experience, not a commodity

The Outcome:

  1. Increased brand credibility and perceived value
  2. Stronger emotional connection with new audiences
  3. Marketing assets that could be reused across PR, social, and web

Why It Matters:

Visibility without alignment doesn’t last. This work ensured growth without compromising the brand’s integrity.
