You didn't start your business to become a marketer. We handle that part so you can stay focused on the work you're actually good at.
Behind every great brand is someone who actually cares about it.
ABOUT US
Sarah & Marisa
Strategy. Design. Marketing.
All moving together.
You're good at what you do. The people who've worked with you know it. The problem is that marketing keeps getting pushed to the back. And when it does happen, it rarely reflects the quality of what you've actually built.
That's not a discipline problem. It's a capacity problem. And it's exactly what we're here to solve.
You might be in the right place if...
Your work is good.
Your marketing doesn't show it yet.
Sound familiar?
You know you need to show up more consistently, but marketing is always the first thing that gets deprioritized
Your brand doesn't fully reflect the quality of your actual work
You're tired of marketing feeling like one more thing on an already long list
You've tried doing it yourself, hiring someone junior, or cobbling things together & none of it has quite worked
You want someone who will genuinely care about your brand, not just complete a scope
When your brand goes quiet for months, when your website feels dated, when your social presence doesn't match the quality of your real work, trust erodes quietly before a potential client ever reaches out.
The real cost
Inconsistent marketing isn't just a visibility problem.
Known & Noticed steps in as the dedicated marketing presence your business deserves.
We work with a limited number of clients at a time by design, not as a marketing tactic. It's the only way to do this kind of work well.
Two partners. Both invested.
No rotating account managers.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE WORK
Sarah Grone
Brand Strategy & design
Sarah thinks about communication carefully, intentionally, and always with the person on the other side in mind. She doesn't just make things look good, she helps leaders find the words for what makes their work meaningful, then builds the look and feel that makes a business recognizable and trusted at a glance.
It's an approach rooted in a background in social work and psychology that she carried straight into brand strategy, graphic design, and web development.
If your brand has ever felt disconnected from who you actually are, Sarah's the one who fixes that.
Marisa Hilyer
Marketing Strategy & Campaigns
Marisa builds marketing that has to perform, not just look good. She helps clients identify the right audiences, build content that actually resonates, and create the touchpoints that move people from aware to interested to ready to say yes.
That standard was set over a decade of leading integrated marketing for financial services firms, locally and nationally, where campaigns were measured and results were expected.
She's the reason clients stop feeling like their marketing is something they're behind on and start feeling like it's something that's working for them.
Together, you get both disciplines from two people who are genuinely in it together.
We're not a large agency where your project gets handed off between departments. We're not a generalist who does a little of everything. We're two partners who think deeply about your brand, bring different strengths to the table, and build the full picture side by side.
We're both strategic thinkers at our core. Where we differ is in how we bring that strategy to life. Sarah leads through design. Marisa leads through activation. Our overlap is what keeps the work coherent and what makes working with us feel different from working with someone where the strategy and the execution never quite connect.
Most agencies treat your brand like an account to manage. We treat it like our own.
Which means we're also the people who will notice your homepage headline is off before you do, flag it without being asked, and quietly fix it because we just can't leave it alone.
We genuinely can't help it.
What makes us different
HEre's where you're headed
And the marketing, the design, the systems. It all finally feels like it was made for you. Because it was.
We keep our client list small so every brand we touch actually gets our attention
We'll tell you when something isn't working, even if it's uncomfortable
We're protective of your reputation because ours is attached to it too
We're not your typical agency. Which is a very typical thing to say, but hear us out.
This is what it looks like when someone cares about your brand as much as you do.
