Carissa Leah Marketing
Marketing strategy and execution for founder-led businesses, creative agencies, and solopreneurs who are great at their work and stretched thin promoting it.
I build the systems, content, and campaigns that turn your marketing into a steady engine, so you can get back to the clients and work you love.
Who We Serve
Founder-led businesses
You built something wonderful, but marketing keeps falling to the bottom of the list. I step in as your outsourced marketing team, strategy, content, and campaigns that run without you having to think about them daily.
Creative agencies & solopreneurs
You're excellent at the work itself, but promoting it competes with doing it. I build the brand story, content systems, and client-facing assets that keep your pipeline full while you stay focused on craft.
Startups & growing teams
You need marketing infrastructure, without the cost of a full in-house hire. I bring 17+ years of building marketing functions from scratch (including two $9B+ fundraises) to set your foundation right the first time.
Corporate Professional services teams
You need marketing that understands regulated, relationship-driven industries, not generic playbooks. I've built marketing functions from scratch inside private equity and consulting (including two $9B+ fundraises at Coller Capital and brand-building at Baringa), I bring fluency in compliance-aware messaging, high-touch client events, and the kind of polish institutional audiences expect.
Our Story
Carissa Leah Marketing (CLM) was born from a simple truth: when connection, creativity, and trust are combined with a strong marketing foundation, business and creative growth happen with ease.
After nearly two decades leading marketing programs in-house, Carissa founded CLM to solve a problem she saw playing out across industries. Founder-led businesses, creative agencies, solopreneurs, and startups are doing amazing work, but they're stretched thin trying to promote it. In today's saturated digital landscape, telling a clear, cohesive, consistent brand story shouldn't drain the energy you need to run your business.
That's where CLM comes in. We build the systems, assets, and client experiences that do the heavy lifting for you, turning your marketing into a steady, reliable engine instead of another thing on your to-do list. The result: a sharp and memorable brand, expanded reach, a stronger lead pipeline, and the freedom to get back to the work you love and the clients you serve best.
