About Marketing & Main
Marketing should be exciting, not exhausting—and that’s what we do differently at Marketing & Main.
I’ve spent 15 years in corporate marketing, working on big brands and bigger budgets. I got to sit in boardrooms with C-suite executives, talking strategy and vision—but something was always missing. While I was passionate about the brands I worked on, it was clear that the people around me were more interested in climbing ladders than actually making a difference. My passion and ideas were always watered down or handed off, and it wasn’t long before I realized—if I’m not truly helping people, what’s the point?

I moved to Licking County looking for a change. At first, I wasn’t sure exactly what that change would be, but what I found was a community full of energy and small businesses that were really making things happen. It didn’t take long to realize that this was the place where I could take everything I’d learned in my career and focus it on helping the businesses that make this area so unique.
That shift led to the two businesses I run today—each with its own focus, but both grounded in the same goal: helping small businesses grow with clarity and confidence.
I started Bryn Mawr Strategy Partners for business owners who want to go deeper—not just into what to do, but why. It’s built for projects that require thoughtful research and long-term thinking: things like customer segmentation, brand positioning, loyalty programs, market research, and broader go-to-market strategy. These are bigger-picture efforts designed to shape how your business shows up and grows over time.
Marketing & Main, on the other hand, was built to be more immediate and hands-on. It’s a walk-in workspace where you can get clarity, make progress, and get help with the day-to-day things that keep your marketing moving—like improving your website, boosting your local SEO, or having someone to support ongoing campaigns. It’s still rooted in strategy, but made to be simple, actionable, and easy to work into your week.
If we’re aligned, we’ll get to work on a plan that fits—not just your goals, but your day-to-day reality. I don’t believe in busywork or inflated strategies. Just practical, thoughtful marketing that does what it’s supposed to do. You’ll never wonder where we’re headed or why.
Thanks for stopping by and getting to know what I’m building here; I’m looking forward to meeting and working with you.
