Hi there — and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

After more than a decade in marketing, I’ve launched Wildwood Creative to bring something new (and needed) into the world: a consultancy that combines clear strategy with meaningful storytelling, designed specifically for mission-driven brands, nonprofits, and destinations.

I believe great marketing isn’t about shouting the loudest — it’s about saying the right thing to the right people in the right way. It’s about connection, clarity, and building trust that lasts. And that’s where Wildwood comes in.

Whether you’re:

• a nonprofit trying to tell your story in a way that moves people to action,
• a tourism organization working to attract the right visitors and stand out,
• or a corporate brand that’s outgrown your marketing approach and needs a smarter strategy…

I’m here to help you get grounded, get clear, and grow with intention.

So, what can you expect from this blog?

This space will be a mix of:

• Marketing tips and resources you can actually use
• Behind-the-scenes insights from my client work and creative process
• Free tools like Basecamp — my industry-specific marketing audits designed to help you assess where your brand stands and what to do next
• And the occasional story or reflection on the wild world of building something meaningful

If that sounds like something you’d like in your inbox, be sure to join the newsletter — I’ll send out helpful insights, free resources, and updates once or twice a month (no spam, ever).

Thanks for stopping by!

Whether you’re here to work together, explore ideas, or just get inspired — I hope you’ll stick around.

Here’s to building something bold, thoughtful, and maybe a little bit wild.
