Growth

📈Juhi Saha - Your Partnerships Copilot

CEO of Partner1, expertly guiding international businesses through the process of leveraging partnerships to enter the U.S. market.

“As ex-Microsoft and Amazon Web Services (AWS) executives, we've built the programs that companies want to get into. We accelerate time to profit for our clients by demystifying the process of ecosystem-led growth and activating their partnerships with AWS and Microsoft. From startups to unicorns, our experts work with companies to craft a custom approach across sales, marketing, and product organizations to maximize incentives and sales growth.”


Diana Lyman

CEO of Traction Advisory, a hands-on, revenue growth consultancy accelerating purpose-led brands.

I serve as a fractional CRO to startups across the consumer and enterprise landscapes. With two decades of experience in sales and marketing, my superpower is helping organizations navigate the intersection of business and brand. Having worked at startups my entire career, I am no stranger to the growing pains of the early days at a company. I leverage my operational expertise to help companies avoid common pitfalls, save time, and prioritize efforts that produce.”


Allison LaGuardia


Owner and President of ALL Media, a media strategy, planning, and buying agency for small-to-midsize brands.

“We have cross-category expertise, which allows us to have an innovative cross-pollination of successful strategies for our clients. We have a holistic, media-agnostic approach. We pride ourselves on being able to produce relentless customization for our clients to stand out and own their media space versus trying to compete with much larger players with very high budgets.”


Ariana Rodriguez

Founder and CEO of AR & Company, an operational consultancy that specializes in crafting custom operational strategies, optimizing people operations, and boosting overall efficiency.

“At AR & Company, our approach is deeply human-centered, leading with operations from the heart through a neurodivergent lens. This unique perspective allows us to identify and creatively solve operational issues that others might overlook. We're not just about streamlining processes. We're about understanding and addressing the nuanced needs of every team member and aspects of your business, ensuring that our solutions foster an environment where everyone can excel.”


Melissa Lohrer

Founder of Waverly Ave Consulting, a business development and growth partner for creative consultancies, agencies, and collectives on their path to $1 million.

“We create sustainable and profitable growth strategies that put agency founders and consultants back in control of their business, working with the right clients, at the right time, and at the right price. We are reinventing the traditional agency model with a modern approach to scaling that doesn't depend on burnout.”


Kim Jursa Brand Builder

Strategy Consultant at Kim Jursa Brand Strategy, building business growth maps—with the brands to match—so companies can excel.

“Unleashing the full power of your brand begins by uncovering the unique business opportunities that set a company apart. I craft targeted business growth maps that accelerate your growth. This approach ensures your brand not only stands out but is also perfectly aligned with your company's growth objectives, paving the way for economic success.”


Kinsey Wolf

Founder of Polaris Growth Studio, a growth consultancy for future-focused technology companies. 

“I believe that if you take care of your customers, everything else takes care of itself. That's why every marketing strategy I build and CMO agreement I enter begins with a detailed discovery of the ideal customer. From there, we build a growth strategy that's all but guaranteed to resonate because we know our customer and where to meet them—online and off.”


Celi Arias

Founder and CEO of Grown Ass Business for Chella Industries, helping companies get out of their revenue plateaus and finally hit their seven-figure goals with easy customized strategies.

“We infuse our customer's businesses with the five key growth systems they absolutely must have in place in order to understand growth, how it works, and how to create it. We then provide them with a unique custom strategy for their business. No cookie-cutter framework is going to work for everyone. We set out to specifically disrupt the business coaching model by creating a method that allows us to be custom with each person we work with. The custom plan lives in the all-in-one dashboard to manage the business, so it never feels stressful or overwhelming.”


Katrina Purcell

Founder and CEO of Katrina Purcell LLC, working with technology startups and nonprofits to build scalable, efficient growth operations.

“I get into the business with my clients, immersing myself in their day-to-day life. That way, when we build their three-year strategy, I'm in the flow of the business. This immersion allows me to both have an outside perspective but truly understand the players, providing both actionable mentorship and strategic guidance. Once the strategy is built, I'm able to remain in the trenches with the executive team to execute on the plan, continuing to provide both high-level guidance and hands-on support to ensure success.”


Katharine McKee

Principal Consultant at Morphology Consulting, a digital commerce consultancy that helps brands scale profitably.

“We apply a unique blend of long-term retail operator experience with a deep understanding of how algorithms work at a fundamental level. We have experience in all facets of digital commerce, from DTC to e-retail to Amazon and media and how they connect to each other. We offer actionable, no-BS advice that is specific to your brand and situation. The answer is never that you need more ads. We focus on long-term, profitable growth and helping your team understand all aspects of the digital business.”


Audrina Blackburn

Co-Founder of Summit Chasers Network, building a robust foundation that supports growth and scales your business. 

“We cut through the noise of endless tactics and quick fixes. We focus on what truly matters: building a robust foundation that supports growth and scales your business. It's not about the latest marketing gimmick. It's about setting up a core of success principles that work for virtually any industry. We're talking job creation, innovation, team development, and, ultimately, crafting a legacy that's about more than just profits. We use our SUMMIT Success Framework when working with our clients. We aren't coaches—we are partners. Your success is pivotal to our success.”


Kat Lourenco, ACC

Founder of Birds of a Feather Co., a collective of industry veterans empowering creative teams—from strategic storytelling to streamlined execution.

“I believe in skilling-up my clients. That means focusing on performance, not just growth. We build the tools, strengthen the team, and promote good habits to foster confidence and decision-making skills. Handling day-to-day fires might feel heroic in the short term, but I believe in empowering teams to be their own heroes long after our work together.”


Stacie Sussman

CRO of RevUp Advisory, maximizing your company’s sales and revenue.

“Witnessing companies pour their heart and soul into maximizing sales yet falling short drives us to intervene with solutions that truly make a difference. Our passion lies in transforming their hard work into remarkable success, showing them there’s a better way. When clients place their trust in us, they experience a profound shift, achieving goals they once thought unattainable. We’re the trusted team of wizards and ninjas that can guide you to success.”


Catalina Parker

Co-Founder of Relatable Nonprofit, empowering growth-driven women with nonprofit hearts to succeed in consulting.

“Relatable Nonprofit empowers high-performing women with nonprofit experience to transition to entrepreneurship. The people we serve are passionate about the purpose behind nonprofit work but seek greater flexibility and financial freedom. We equip women with tools and resources to leverage their expertise and passion for nonprofits into a successful consulting business.”


Emilie MASCARELL

Fragrance and Beauty Product Development Consultant at Emilie Consulting, specializing in product strategy and development, helping companies in bringing their vision to life.

“A great deal of my experience has been with luxury and niche brands where every detail matters. I bring this mentality and approach to my clients using unique ingredients, materials, packaging, and combing through the smallest details to help develop products that truly reflect their vision. I tailor my approach to the unique reasons they started their business to ensure their products stand out in the crowded market.”


Branding & Marketing

Monica Rivera

Personal Brand Strategist and Speaker at YOU WANNA DO WHAT?!, helping founders, solopreneurs, and mid-career professionals unlock the power of their personal brand.

“I guide my clients in crafting a compelling personal narrative. It strategically integrates their values, story, and identity. Clients gain the confidence and clarity to deliver powerful presentations, captivating messages, and impactful pitches. They become memorable speakers and podcast guests, leaving a lasting impression on their ideal audience.”


Natalie Nicole

Brand Strategist and Designer at Impackedful Creative, an agency that helps businesses strategically stand out and positively impact their bottom line.

“With the belief that great brand assets are more than beautiful, I help my clients with great brand assets that are intentional. With branding done right, I ensure that each element is strategically crafted in such a way that it compels my clients' audiences to take the next step. I help my clients attract and engage the right audience with impactful brand tools that visually capture the strength of who they are and the value they provide. Brands aren't cookie cutter after all.”


Jennie Armstrong

Founder and CEO of Wild Awake, developing killer websites and brands, providing strategic communications and operations support for nonprofit consultants.

“You haven't met an agency like us before. Your brand and website are so much more than a collection of colors and pixels. It's the story you tell, the way you differentiate yourself, and how you showcase your values and set the stage for your legacy. Our team’s background in nonprofits, philanthropy, and government make us uniquely positioned to serve founders and consultants in this space. We take a holistic approach to your business and use coaching tools and collaborative sessions to help you reimagine what's possible. You already have the magic. We just help you bring it out and share it with the world.”


Saundra Marcel

Designer and Brand Author at Design Minded, a boutique brand studio that helps bold brands and smart startups achieve their creative potential.

“Design Minded is unique in its duo-disciplinary approach—creating brand identities that fluently unite design and writing. The practice is founded in the belief that the words a company uses are just as important as how it looks. Design Minded gives equal love to both.”


KK H.

CEO and Lead Consultant at Hart Marketing & Communications Inc, the as-seen-on-TV multi-disciplinary business advisory and marketing company.

“I empower high-achieving entrepreneurs to thrive. Top earners in fitness, beauty, health, wellness, technology, and beyond choose me for a reason. I empower them to unlock their full potential—both personally and professionally. With my first-hand knowledge, I’m so clear on the complexities and benefits of being a working professional. If you want to experience breakthroughs in this area of your life or are looking to create more success in your personal and professional life, I literally wrote the book on that!”


Jen White

Founder of Collective Memory, a strategic branding and creative consultancy that works with industry-leading brands to identify and communicate their unique value.

“Our work is focused on helping executive leadership understand and leverage their organization’s unique strengths and points of differentiation to connect more intentionally with their stakeholders and consumers to fuel growth and build brand equity. We call our work Full Spectrum Brand Strategy™️. It differs from traditional branding techniques that are typically topical as opposed to operational. Our approach digs deep into the organization and forms the foundation for all business operations, partnerships, and go-to-market strategies. The results are winning brand strategies that transform global organizations into modern, brand-first companies recognized by their differentiated positioning, authenticity, and integrity.”


Emma Tessler

Founder and CEO of Ninety Five Media, a female-owned digital marketing agency working with scaling brands to grow their online presence and monetize their audience.

“We help our clients uplevel by focusing on and nurturing their community. There are so many 'successful' brands out there, but without a deeply-connected community, that success won't be long-lasting. In every piece of content we create for our social media clients, we focus on harnessing connections with the consumer so they want to be a part of something bigger and tell others about it. This has led to major uplevels for our clients!”


Julie Zhu

Fractional CMO at Julie Zhu LLC, an award-winning marketing consultancy based in NYC.

“I help my clients uplevel by building a strong business presence that leverages their unique strengths, personalities, and passions. I make sure to provide a bespoke experience and a roadmap for their projects. For example, if a client wants to write a book, I would focus on cultivating an engaged online community through social media and media presence. This provides them with a platform to build their brand, connect with their audience, and ultimately position them for book-launch success.”


Amanda Berlin

Fractional CMO at The ABerlin Agency, Inc., working with B2B professional services companies to transform marketing challenges into opportunities for growth through strategy with less stress.

“I help my clients uplevel through strategy. Many B2B service providers are doing their marketing without a strategy. People who come to me will often have been piecing together their marketing efforts, relying on contractors and freelancers, and maybe an agency here or there to drive awareness, visibility, and inbound leads. At some point, this stops working. I help my clients take stock of where they’re making their marketing investments, realign with their goals and vision, create a bespoke strategy that will get them where they want to go with proven systems and tactics, and support them by building the team or marketing department that will work collectively in concert toward their desired goal.”


Deirdre Purdy

Co-Founder of Purdy Marketing Co., delivering bespoke marketing solutions for tech-forward businesses.

“Purdy Marketing Co. is reimagining how tech-forward businesses communicate their unique values by transforming complex, advanced technologies into impactful narratives that resonate with end-users, investors, and stakeholders alike. We help our clients uplevel by highlighting the human impact of their next-gen technologies, making even the most complex technologies accessible and engaging to their audiences.”


Caroline Crawford

Founder and CEO of Cultiveight Communications, a marketing consulting and facilitation company helping develop and optimize marketing functions for growing businesses.

“We're on a mission to help businesses carve their place in the world, no matter their limitations. Being scrappy with marketing has become the norm, but the marketing industry tends to fuel analysis paralysis, shiny object syndrome, and general mistrust in marketing. We help businesses with limited marketing resources by looking at their entire marketing system to determine what works and what doesn't, identifying the root of their core marketing challenges, how to fix them, and how to prevent them from coming up again. Our approach goes beyond traditional consulting. We embed ourselves into businesses to give them the opportunity for marketing to have a seat at the table.”


Christine Tolton

Founder and CEO of Red Cat Marketing, a global agency specializing in strategy, brand, and digital marketing. 

“Our key point of differentiation is that we fervently believe marketing objectives should be directly tied to key business results. While achieving marketing objectives is important, if we do not understand how they affect the bottom line and truly drive ROI, then they're just more numbers. By having laser focus on the connection between marketing and business, we help our clients achieve massive leaps in growth.”


Marissa Pick

Founder of Marissa Pick Consulting LLC, providing strategic consulting focused on digital transformation, content marketing, social media strategy, personal branding, and more.

“I'm a huge fan of thinking creatively to come up with innovative ways of implementing out-of-the-box ideas. It's important to put in the work with your clients to deliver high-value services and create great content that solves your customer's needs. Ultimately, the idea is to spark loyalty in both your new and existing clients.”


Natalie Eagling

President of Hey Mr Media, a social and video agency, specializing in handcrafted, thumb-stopping content.

“At Hey Mr, we believe that content should always be handcrafted, never templated. Our social media and video strategies are designed from an in-depth analysis of our clients' goals, audiences, and competition, ensuring each campaign resonates authentically. From the initial conversation to monthly content delivery, our tailored approach blends data-driven insights with genuine creativity. This collaborative process ensures that our clients not only follow trends but set them, helping them become thought leaders and influencers in their industries.”


Rachael King

CEO of Pod People, a content and marketing studio for award-winning podcasts and social creative, working with clients like HBO, Netflix, EA, Bon Appetit, SoFi, Intuit, and more.

“Podcasts are one of the most powerful tools for reaching a specific, targeted audience and then engaging them deeply, building trust and brand loyalty that far surpasses any other medium. A branded podcast is a new owned channel with no spam filter, no pay-to-play algorithm, and six times the call to action conversion over other media. It's content marketing gold!”


Lauren Loreto

Founder and Owner of Brand Good Time, a good-times-only content marketing and web development agency that works with growth-stage startups to increase their visibility.

“We often find that clients lack marketing integrations needed to help automate in their day-to-day operations. Very early on we decided to be a part of the change. If we helped clients organize and create systems and processes for core pieces of the business that marketing touches, we'd have more success. Simply put, this looks like creating written and visual standard operating procedures for creating and effectively leveraging content while addressing every tech integration with, ‘Can we automate this?’”


PR & Communications

Catharine Montgomery, MBA

Founder and CEO of Better Together, a full-service, Black woman-founded, and purpose-driven public relations agency. 

“We uniquely empower our clients by integrating targeted communication strategies with our deep commitment to social and environmental justice. We specialize in engaging and amplifying underrepresented communities, leveraging both digital and traditional media to reshape narratives and drive impactful policy changes. Our approach is holistic, from meticulous message testing to comprehensive media campaigns, ensuring our clients' voices lead the conversation and foster real-world change.”


Sarah Loughry

Founder and CEO of Em Dash Content Studio, a boutique team of expert writers and strategists that help businesses show up on search engines and establish themselves as thought leaders.

“I niche down. Many SEO agencies pull hundreds of keywords and target based on volume and applicability. When I conduct keyword research, I go after the low-hanging fruit first, especially if it’s a new business with no current rankings. By going after keywords that are easier to rank for, a company can essentially prove themselves to Google, which makes it easier to rank for additional keywords. It creates a snowball effect.”


Lucy Bedewi

Copywriter and Messaging Strategist at My Write Hand Woman, serving women-owned companies who want to cut through the noise online.

“Gone are the days of snooze-y, bro marketing, convince-me sales, and web copy. When you're selling to people, you have to speak like a person. I believe that masterpieces don't take time, giving my clients casual copy in a week, so they can stop selling so hard and start dropping their link more. By infusing a client's brand voice with a healthy dose of sass, I believe the best copy is the copy that makes someone think, 'I need to add this woman to the group chat.' It's that kind of love that leads to success in this new era of selling online.”


Amanda Lien

Founder of Minutiae Content Co., specializing in authentic thought leadership and marketing content for B2B and tech founders, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.

“I don't just craft thought leadership content for my clients. I bring their voice, passions, and expertise to life through written content that showcases their authenticity and knowledge all at once. Through thoughtful and collaborative processes, my clients experience the best of both worlds. They offload the stress of content creation to me while retaining the creative sparkle that makes their work shine.”


Alexis St. Laurent Hartmann

Founder and CEO, iHartContent, serving marketing professionals and mission-driven founders with authentic, boutique-quality content in English and Spanish.

“We never want to see marketing professionals put the brakes on their growth because of burnout or low bandwidth. We give them the breathing room they need with margin-friendly, boutique-quality, behind-the-scenes marketing fulfillment. From strategy to execution, we step in as an extension of our client's team to keep their marketing machine running smoothly and support them while they build the foundation they need to scale. We'll even step in to help train new hires to take over our role when the time comes.”


Kendall Cherry

Founder of The Candid Collective, a one-woman ghostwriting studio that crafts world-class storytelling content to sell your products and services.

“I help my client's identify the revenue-generating stories that are living inside their business, collecting dust in their Notes app or living rent-free inside their brain. Then, I write them in a way that sounds exactly like they wrote it themselves while strategically and subliminally selling their products and services to their audience.”


Lexie Smith

CEO and Founder of GROWTH MODE, a PR and communications agency obsessed with growing your business and putting your brand on the map.

“We are experts at leveraging your top-line stories for bottom-line results. We deeply immerse ourselves in your industry, becoming experts and staying ahead of the curve to uncover the most aligned and strategic visibility opportunities possible. Unlike many other large PR agencies, we take a holistic approach to PR and communications. We ensure our work supports and integrates seamlessly with your overall marketing efforts. Our mission? Do great work, get great results, and work with great people so we can all live great lives.”


Lori Sussle Bonanni

Founder of elssus, LLC, a multi-disciplined communications consultancy that builds and grows companies’ reputations to increase awareness, business results, and credibility.

“We are constantly communicating. Are we reaching our intended audience? Let’s uncover your unique stories and connect the dots to craft compelling narratives to engage the media and target audiences through strategic, internal and crisis communications, public and media relations, and ghostwriting.”
