Meet Danielle Gagnon

I help busy entrepreneurs (like you!) get back to the work you truly love, elevating your brand and taking on the marketing tasks that take up your time. I've always been a writer and a creator. As a child, you could find me spending my free time writing poems and stories (when I wasn't running my neighborhood detective agency). In college, I turned my passion for writing into a journalism degree, and from there worked for three years as a reporter at daily newspapers in my native New Hampshire. I changed careers in 2013 and entered the world of marketing, where I've happily grown my skills and expertise ever since. I've worked in the education industry, the firearms industry and the health and fitness industry, helping small companies build their brands and share their passions with the world.

Now, I work with entrepreneurs and small business owners to up their game, elevating their brand with graphic design, email marketing, content marketing and social media management. As a working wife and mother, I know how hard it is to try to do it all.

I believe that entrepreneurs should be working ON their business, not FOR their business. Let me take some of your marketing work off your plate, so you can get back to the parts of your business that only you can do!
