Evolve your marketing.
Is your marketing barely inching along? You’re not alone.
A lot of small teams are in the same boat. You’ve got a good thing going. People care about what you’re building. But marketing? That part’s been more like “we’ll get to it eventually”. So maybe it’s been a patchwork effort, or maybe you’ve avoided it altogether because it feels like too much—or just not you.
Whatever your starting point, here’s the good news: it’s not too late, and it doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need someone to help you figure out what’s worth doing, and what’s okay to ignore.
I help community-centric organizations grow without selling out.
Hi 👋 I’m Elie. I work with small businesses and membership-based companies that care about creating real connection. Most of my clients have strong relationships with their audience. What they don’t have is a full-time, experienced marketer—or the time to untangle what marketing should look like for them.
I help you sort that out. Together, we build a workable approach that fits your values, your capacity, and your goals. No fluff. No chasing trends because everyone else is. Just thoughtful, maintainable progress, one step at a time.
Not sure where to start?
That’s okay. Most people aren’t.
I offer three starting points. Each is designed to give you insight and direction without eating up a ton of your time or committing you to a long term relationship. They’re all practical, specific, and easy to act on.
01
Quick Win Audit
A focused look at what you’re doing now. I’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus next, based on what really matters to your people, your goals, and how your organization actually runs.
02
Buyer Journey Audit
If people aren’t finding you or not taking action, this audit helps map their experience and surface where things might be unclear, missing, or off-track, so you can guide them with more ease, trust, and direction.
03
Member Drive Audit
Trying to grow your community, increase renewals, or boost engagement? This audit reviews your outreach and uncovers where small shifts could make big improvements.

Why I do this work
In the last couple of years, I’ve prioritized connection and found real satisfaction in forming new relationships and deepening existing ones. But I’ve also become aware that many people are feeling lonelier and more isolated than ever. Humans don’t just want connection. We need it for our brains, our bodies, and our emotional well-being. It’s hardwired into our biology.
Organizations embracing this truth—that business follows belonging—have the potential to both do good and do well. When people feel seen, welcomed, and supported, they stick around. They show up. They tell their friends. And I genuinely enjoy helping this crazy world feel a little less lonely.
