Hi! I’m Talie, founder of With Heart Marketing, a one-woman
business offering Fractional CMO services and strategic
marketing consulting. But I do things a little differently—with a
heart-centered approach.
I help brands dive deep into the heart and soul of their business
and understand their true “why.” And for brands that already
know who they are at their core, I provide strategic consulting
and leadership to bring that clarity to life through intentional,
authentic marketing that inspires connection and drives lasting
impact.
With 15 years of experience creating strategies for global brands
like Disney, Princess Cruises, and MTV, I bring a thoughtful,
purpose-led approach that helps your brand spark joy, build
trust, and create meaningful relationships with the people you’re
here to serve.
how can I help?
Services
At With Heart Marketing, I offer Fractional CMO services and custom consulting for brands who want
more than just marketing—they want meaning, intention, and a clear path forward. Whether you need
senior-level leadership or support on a specific strategy, I meet you where you are and build from there.
I take time to get to know who your audience is, what
they care about, what they need, and how they think
so you can connect with them in authentic, relevant,
and human ways.
BUSINESS GOALS
I start by clarifying your big-picture goals and
challenges, building a foundation that guides every
strategic move.
AUDIENCE INSIGHTS
BRAND STRATEGY
I help uncover your story, purpose, and values and
define how you want people to feel when they engage
with your brand. From positioning to personality, I
guide you in creating a brand that’s meaningful,
consistent, and built for long-term connection.
VISUAL IDENTITY
I guide creative direction to ensure your visual
presence aligns seamlessly with your brand strategy. I
collaborate with your internal team or bring in trusted
partners to bring your brand to life clearly and
consistently.
MARKETING STRATEGY
With your brand foundation in place, I craft a
thoughtful, well-aligned marketing strategy that
brings your message to life across every touchpoint.
From social and digital to content, PR, partnerships,
and more, each piece is designed to support your
customer journey, drive growth, and deepen
emotional connection.

I dig into who your competitors are, what they’re
saying, and how they show up. From there, I identify
what sets you apart and shape a strategy to help your
brand stand out and connect meaningfully.

Heart-centered marketing is an authentic, compassionate approach that fosters deeper,
more meaningful connections with audiences. It emphasizes emotional connection,
prioritizing how your product or service makes people feel. By connecting from the heart
of your brand to the hearts of your customers, this approach cultivates joy, trust, and
