Hey, I'm Marissa!
So Glad You Asked! Here's The Full Story:
A Content Marketing & Brand Strategist For Female Entrepreneurs Who Want To Become Known As More Than Just "That Interior Design Girl"
Life being short isn’t even the half of it.
My brother died at 18 — but he never really lived a single day of his life. It’s not that he didn’t *do* anything with his life, it’s that he physically couldn’t.
It’s easy to overlook how lucky we are to do simple things like walking, talking, or even breathing without machine assistance.
But finding something we’re passionate about and choosing each day to wake up and do that thing or work towards a specific goal is truly a miracle and not something anyone should take for granted.
Growing up, watching my brother exist in what I called a shell of a body was really tough.
But it gave me a perspective on life that most people don’t ever get to experience and for that I’m grateful.
I know so many people who have lost someone unexpectedly and nothing truly wakes you up to how precious and short life is than in those moments of loss. But when someone’s alive and you watch them suffer every single day, trapped in a body that doesn’t work — you have 18 years' worth of loss shaking you to help you see how special being alive truly is.
Okay, maybe you're not an interior designer. But whatever your speciality is, I don't want you to be lumped in with the rest!
See, I'm a girlie who loves design and putting together perfectly curated aesthetics just as much as I enjoy analyzing data and obsessing over why humans do the things they do.
Relying on 11 years of experience working in the marketing world and a combination of my passions for design + psychology, I’m here to help you build a brand that’s as unforgettable and unique as you are!
My approach is simple, I take all the pieces of your business that make up who you are, what you do, why you do it, and how you do it, and use that to craft a brand that highlights your unique edge.
Then we use that brand to create content that attracts, nurtures, and converts your audience.
Okay Cool, But How Did We Get Here?
It’s about ensuring your business continues to thrive so you can continue to pursue your passions, put all your crazy, wonderful ideas into action, and make a massive impact on the community you serve.
Because that's what Pané Marketing is all about… empowering you as a business owner so you can embrace the things in life that light you the F up.
I’m completely invested in your business and your success as a company because I know that what we’re doing is so much bigger than building brand awareness.
Life is incredibly f*cking short and we owe it to ourselves to make the most of every moment.
Why in the world am I sharing this fluffy fortune cookie sentence with you to start my story?
Because the whole reason this business even exists in the first place is because of my dead brother.
I built this business so I could live. For myself and for Anthony.
This business allows me the freedom and flexibility to spend time with the people who are important to me, travel, explore, and prioritize my mental health.
You started your business because you knew in your gut that being trapped in a corporate job you hate with retirement as your ultimate end goal isn’t a life.
Life is about moments and experiences.
Pané Marketing allows me to have those things while simultaneously helping other small business owners (like you) do the same.
Trust me when I say I love what I do - but I love even more that my work as a marketing and brand strategist helps other female entrepreneurs get to do more of what they love to do.
This is why I pour my heart and soul into every client project I take on and only work with a handful of clients at a time.
This business allows me the freedom and flexibility to spend time with the people who are important to me, travel, explore, and prioritize my mental health.
You started your business because you knew in your gut that being trapped in a corporate job you hate with retirement as your ultimate end goal isn’t a life.
