ABOUT MARISSA

CREATIVE STRATEGY DIRECTOR | BRAND STORYTELLER | EXPERIENTIAL & DIGITAL

Hi! I’m Marissa! I’m a multi-faceted Creative Director and Brand Strategist with an entrepreneurial spirit, a self-starter mindset, and a passion for leading creative teams toward bold, meaningful work.

With deep experience across digital, social, experiential, video, creator collaborations, and integrated media, I specialize in developing 360 campaigns that are as strategically sound as they are creatively rich. I bring a holistic approach to brand and creative strategy— connecting insights to ideas, and ideas to execution— with a proven ability to concept and lead work that builds brand affinity, drives engagement, and delivers results.

My creative journey began running my own immersive theater and events company for over a decade, which shaped my love for impactful storytelling and authentically connecting with consumers. I thrive in the overlap of art direction, strategic thinking, and collaboration— whether I’m jamming with designers, producing with cross-functional teams, or pitching big ideas to clients.

The best compliment I’ve received? Being called a Swiss Army Knife—sharp, versatile, and always ready to jump in where needed. As a leader and human, I value empathy, mental health, equity, and a collaborative creative process rooted in trust.

Outside of work, I’m writing a book, taking pottery classes, and blasting Lady Gaga on repeat.

Let’s connect and build something great!
