Two—or three—less things to worry about
Branding, websites, and marketing for small businesses
The big three
Branding, websites, and marketing—arguably the three most important parts of growing a business in today’s digital age.
On top of everything you already do as a business owner, wouldn’t it be nice for someone to take some of that off your plate?
Glad you’re here
Hey there. I’m Marguerite.
For the past 12 years, I’ve worked in the digital world: copywriting, graphic design, marketing, web design, branding, and corporate communications.
No matter my role, it’s important to understand that above all I am a creative strategist. I believe in the power of creativity to solve problems, and in the role of strategy to anchor and propel business. For me, one cannot exist without the other.
I am a good fit for small businesses or organizations that lack the resources to hire an entire firm. You can get (almost) an entire firm’s worth of work from…just me.

Graphic design covers a broad range of applications and I’ve done everything from a trucker hat to a pipe fitting manual. -
Copywriting is almost always underrated until it’s a show stopper. But the truth is that there is a lot of room to improve copy just about everywhere I look. My experience in copywriting ranges from web pages to blogs, ebooks, infographics, scripts, and brand messaging.
If you’re a business that plans on producing a lot of content, then getting a clear direction and strategy for your content is essential. I can help you do that too.
