Marketing Shouldn’t Feel Gross, Lonely, or Impossible.

Mandi Hawke Marketing Shouldn’t Feel Gross, Lonely, or Impossible.

When I first tried to build my business online, I felt stuck. Despite 20+ years of experience in design and marketing, I couldn’t find an approach that worked for me—for my brain.


Every marketing program I came across was either too expensive, too impersonal, or made me feel… icky. The sales tactics felt pushy. The strategies felt disconnected. And worst of all? I was alone in the process.


I wanted a place for real expert help. A space without pressure, fluff, or high costs. A place where I could ask questions and actually get answers. A community that welcomed people like me.


So, I built it.

Too often, it’s unclear where we’re truly welcome. Let me make it simple:


You are welcome here.

The neurodivergent, BIPOC, queer, and disabled entrepreneurs. The inclusive businesses, overhwhelmed marketing professionals, mental health providers, and mission-driven professionals. Those of us who seek to market authentically, avoiding manipulation.


Marketing shouldn’t feel overwhelming or out of reach. It should feel empowering.


Let’s do this—together.
