I have more than 20 years of experience as a freelance writer and journalist. I have a keen eye for the most riveting details for any news story and I investigate thoroughly within the bounds of the editorial deadline. Editors have praised my work ethic, investigative skills, and the engagement my articles receive. My curiosity is endless, which guides my research and the pursuit of truth. Everything is thoroughly researched, backed up with reliable sources, and presented in an unbiased manner.

Most founders already have plenty in motion. A website in progress. A CRM that is only half-used. Content ideas. A few warm leads. A launch coming up. Partnership conversations floating around. A sales team asking for better materials. A list of things everyone agrees should happen soon. The real question is: which moves will actually create growth, and in what order? That is where I am most useful. I step into the business, take in the full picture, spot the strongest opportunities, connect the pieces, and turn the noise into a practical plan people can actually execute. I have spent more than 20 years working across marketing strategy, go-to-market planning, strategic partnerships, brand positioning, content, media, email marketing, CRM systems, business development, sales enablement, and implementation. *Sometimes the work begins with a first-year roadmap. *Sometimes it means sharpening the offer, choosing the right audience, and deciding which channels deserve attention. *Sometimes it means building the campaigns, content workflows, landing pages, forms, sales materials, and follow-up systems that support growth. *Sometimes it means recognizing the partnership opportunity that opens a completely new path. A few examples: * Built a consultant referral and agency partner motion for an AI MarTech platform that generated 83% of first-year revenue * Built the GTM marketing function for a B2B company and helped shape a new service line that generated approximately $85,000 in its first six months * Moved a healthcare education business from KIT into GoHighLevel, organized the database and tagging structure, added text messaging, and developed email sequences that supported $10,000+ months from email campaigns alone * Developed a strategic relationship with the Austin Business Journal as part of a broader growth strategy that helped a construction company move from more than $48 million to $60 million * Built chamber-of-commerce relationships that gathered market insight and surfaced high-value prospective clients * Created more than 60 branded, bilingual, HIPAA-compliant Formstack workflows for a regulated healthcare business * Connected a nonprofit with the corporate partner that became its largest donor * Currently developing an experiential partnership involving a well-known gaming brand and a four-season Virginia resort Clients often bring me in for: **Growth Strategy** * Marketing strategy and practical growth roadmaps * Fractional CMO and senior marketing leadership * GTM strategy, ICP definition, positioning, and offer clarity * Personal-brand and content strategy **Marketing Systems** * Email campaigns, nurture sequences, and conversion paths * CRM, lead-generation, and follow-up systems * Website, landing-page, and content planning * Sales materials, pitch decks, and outreach messaging **Strategic Partnerships** * Partner-channel strategy * Referral, agency, and consultant programs * Sponsorships and experiential partnerships * Business-development opportunities I am comfortable stepping back to understand the larger commercial problem and getting close enough to the work to help move it forward. I can identify the priorities, shape the strategy, guide implementation, and keep the pieces connected. I also bring hands-on experience with HubSpot, GoHighLevel, KIT, Formstack, marketing automation, CRM workflows, email systems, and the practical infrastructure required to support the strategy. Tell me what you are building, what feels messy, and where you are trying to go. I will help you figure out what deserves attention first.

With over 20 years as an acclaimed journalist and editor in the motorcycle industry, I bring unparalleled credibility and expertise to every project. As a National Emmy winner and recipient of three Clarion Awards for producing the companion website for KERA’s “US-Mexican War” documentary—the first fully bilingual site for PBS.org—I deliver authentic, high-impact content. Based in Dallas, Texas, I create 100% original work, never outsourcing, with a focus on motorcycles and the business side of entertainment, crafting compelling narratives that resonate globally. As an avid motorcyclist, I traverse the U.S. on my 2001 Harley-Davidson FXDL - and yes, I am the original owner - infusing my motorcycle content with authentic, firsthand expertise. Beyond the open road, I create captivating travel content, specializing in Dallas and Texas, weaving vivid narratives that bring destinations to life. Additionally, I produce dynamic livestreams for C-Suite and executive audiences, engaging up to 130,000 viewers with professional, high-impact broadcasts. As an accomplished professional in the film industry, I hold Executive Producer credits with ITV (London) for episodic series and specials highlighting the American motorcycle scene, broadcast across Europe and South America. My diverse portfolio includes projects with the AdCouncil and a key role on the livestream broadcast team for Eric Clapton’s CROSSROADS Guitar Festival in September 2019, delivering a high-energy performance to a global audience to millions of viewers across two nights. While Upwork requires an hourly rate, I prefer per-project pricing to provide transparency and flexibility, ensuring no surprises for my clients. Whether a piece flows seamlessly or requires multiple revisions, I’m committed to delivering exceptional results without additional costs. Let’s collaborate to bring your vision to life—contact me today and keep the shiny side up!

I will keep this short and to the point - my name is Marissa Gray. I take my profession as a Freelance Writer very seriously in both the way I create my work and how I conduct myself to clients. Here’s a little bit about me: I am 23 years old. I have a 2-year-old son with a rare genetic disorder by the name of PKU. The reason I chose to be a Freelance Writer was to perfect my writing skills while working on projects. As well as to bring in extra income to help pay medical bills for my son. What I can do for you: I can provide you with high-quality articles, blog posts, and honest product reviews upon the creation of a contract. I work at a fast pace and will get the work done according to the deadlines you may set. When researching topics I will also provide any sources I may reference/use during article/blog post creation. When ordering from the projects I have posted on my profile, I will get what you have ordered to you within 24 hours unless stated otherwise in the project description. I take communication with my clients very seriously, making sure to ask or clarify any questions I have whilst working on projects so that there are little to no misunderstandings.
