Something changed. You just can’t see it yet.
I’m Marnee.
I help established founders get unstuck when their business stops growing the way it used to.
For years, people hired me to write copy.
What they were really hiring me to do was see what they couldn't.
I'd ask questions nobody else was asking.
I'd notice patterns everyone else had missed.
Sometimes we'd rewrite a website.
Sometimes we'd change an offer.
Sometimes we'd realize the problem had nothing to do with either.
Over time, I started noticing the same pattern again and again.
The businesses weren't struggling because the founders had lost their expertise.
They'd simply outgrown the way they were talking about their work.
From the outside, it looked like a marketing problem.
Most of the time, it wasn't.
They were too close to see what had changed.
That’s the work I do now.
I look at your business from the outside, figure out what changed, and help you reconnect with the strongest part of what you've built.
Not by turning you into someone else.
By helping you sound more like the person who built the business in the first place.
If you've built something you're proud of but growth has quietly stalled, you're probably too close to see what's happening.
That's where I come in.
How I work
I ask the questions most people skip.
I notice patterns that are easy to miss when you're standing inside your own business.
I won't hand you a formula or tell you to sound like someone else.
I'll help you get clear on what matters, what doesn’t, and what to do next.
Because once you're clear, everything else gets easier.
“Hiring Marnee brought several key benefits:
• Fresh perspective: She helped me break away from my traditional language and mindset, injecting creativity and clarity into our communication.
• Storytelling: She saw Destira for who we are today, not where we’ve come from, and crafted a clear, concise message into a compelling narrative for our customers to enjoy. She clearly articulated our brand voice and aligned with our tone, across all business channels and customer types.
• Audience Connection: Marnee easily understood and knew how to connect with our target audience; she’s helped us to communicate in a way that resonates with our customer and builds a stronger connection from the very beginning.”
Unrelated (BUT FUN) Facts:
I wrote the tagline for the Will Smith movie, Hitch… “The Cure for the Common Man” and won a Key Art Award.
When I eat cilantro, it tastes like soap. (It’s a thing! Google it.)
I used to be able to correctly guess numbers on the roulette wheel in Las Vegas. My bank account appreciated it. (But my family thought I was some kind of witch.)
I once decided to move to Manhattan after spending a weekend there during Pride. I lasted 11 years, but the winters were ultimately too shocking for this California native.
I have a master’s degree in Jewish Education. My senior thesis curriculum was called Torah Trailers: Previews from the past. I had kids creating movie posters and trailers based on stories in the Torah.
People tell me I have a calming effect. I used to think that was code for “You’re boring.”
My headshot was once on the cover of a section of the New York Times. In color. On a Sunday. (Don’t Google this.)
As Sr. Copywriter at Time Warner Cable in New York, I helped create an evil character named Sir Charge. He took money from Verizon customers (as in, “surcharges”). I think Verizon tried to sue us.
You wouldn’t know this by looking at me, but I have one less rib than most people.
What People Are Saying
“I hired Marnee to write the copy for a free 5-day challenge that I was running as a list-builder. The timing was tight and I knew I wouldn’t have the time to write the actual content for the emails. Being a health coach herself, I knew that she would know how to fill in the blanks to bring my ideas and key points to life. She was awesome to work with. Patient, keeping me on track with deadlines that really helped to get it all done before the challenge launched. I really love the end result and will be using this program again in the future.”
“I had a welcome sequence that felt salesy and stiff. I seriously thought that if I were receiving my own emails as a potential customer, that I would delete them and unsubscribe. I didn’t feel they were “authentic” or even helpful enough. So I hired Marnee. Rereading my edited emails from Marnee had me laughing out loud. If I were a potential customer, NOW I would be tempted! I can’t wait to put my sequence to use! And I’ll definitely be back.”
“Because of her background and experience in both copywriting and health coaching, I felt she’d know where I was coming from and how I wanted to communicate with my future clients. I really enjoyed working with her! She’s patient, thoughtful and really helped me get from an almost blank slate to something I am really proud of today. ”
