Alissa’s Story…

You want to know what I did for fun when I was little? I wrote stories. I mean, I also did gymnastics and played with friends. Still, when I was alone, when I was bored, when I was at my happiest, and even when I was filled with teenage angst, I wrote. Creating a world through words gave me a sense of control. I could dictate the next chapter, and that felt like a superpower. The joy of writing the perfect sentence grew over time, as did the pride that came when my words communicated exactly what I meant to say.

So, I majored in English in college. I wanted to graduate and write stories, but that wasn’t a great way to pay my rent, so I leaned into my strength in communication. I climbed the ranks in marketing, managing events, working at agencies, executing global strategies, and telling companies’ stories.  

When I had kids, I assumed the role of a stay-at-home parent and quickly learned that effectively communicating with toddlers is one of the most challenging assignments there is. In 2018, I launched my own consultancy, offering strategy, planning, content, and branding services.

Now I help small businesses and growing brands find their voice and tell their story clearly and creatively, across every digital channel. When a client trusts me to shape their marketing presence, I take that seriously. At the core of great communication lies one simple skill: listening.
