How I work with: Retail Businesses


I have worked in marketing for over 20 years and have spent a decade in retail. For many years, I sat on the executive team for a national cannabis retailer, overseeing marketing, merchandising, pricing, products and store design.


I have helped open 47 retail stores and have worked with over 20 retail chains across North America on marketing and merchandising.

How I structure my services for retail


I utilize monthly retainers with my clients, and those hours can be used towards any of the services that I provide. The scope of work can differ month-to-month based on the needs of the business, so the retainer is tailored to the company.


My marketing services = $125/hour (execution of strategy, development of plans)

My strategy services = $250/hour (development of strategy)
