Local businesses deserve a marketing partner who's timely, affordable, and good — not just two out of three. I'm here to be that partner.
“Fast, cheap, good — pick two.”
You've been told this rule your whole career. Every agency has repeated it. Every friend running a business has lived it.
I disagree.
Fast turns because the systems are already built. When something needs to ship, it ships.
Priced for a local business, not for a mid-market company. Retainers that make sense against real revenue.
Real strategy. Real writing. Real design. Reviewed by someone who's been doing this for thirty years.

Every month. Done for you. No decks. No homework.
Take a five-minute marketing assessment. Nine questions about your website, reviews, social, and content.

Free. No sales call required.
I've been in marketing since 1997 — back when I started as a real estate photographer with a camera and a car.
Since then I've done this from both sides: as a business owner running my own real estate practice, and as the marketing lead at one of the largest real estate firms in the Northeast. I've seen what works, what doesn't, and — more importantly — what actually gets executed versus what just lives in a slide deck.
Fishing Upstream is where I bring that experience to local businesses that deserve better than what most marketing services give them. The name is deliberate — the best marketing happens upstream, before customers even know they need you. Timely, affordable, good. All three.
Five minutes. Nine questions. Honest answers.
