I am Marissa Rae, a Chicago native, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign graduate and branding advisor.  I offer branding and marketing services to small businesses. My objective is to teach entrepreneurs how to establish their voice and their place in the business market, and develop a brand that is relevant and long-standing. I believe that the most successful businesses are ones that have created their own lane and paved their own way. Through consulting, workshops and branding e-books, I assist business owners in creating strategies to do just that.
