ABOUT US

Cherry Creative is a boutique agency that serves as your in-house marketing team.

We understand the critical importance of having every facet of your digital marketing strategy be in harmony. Whether it's aligning organic social endeavors with email campaigns, orchestrating ad initiatives, creating fruitful partnerships, or diving into other areas of your business, our expertise spans the spectrum. Consider us your dedicated in-house marketing team, but with minimal oversight. We immerse ourselves in the essence of your brand, mastering its nuances, and crafting bespoke strategies to amplify its message, attract new clientele, and drive sales—all at a fraction of the cost of maintaining an internal team. Our portfolio boasts successful collaborations across a diverse range of industries, including fashion, fitness, music, nightlife, hospitality, lifestyle, beauty, spirits, consumer goods, and renowned personalities.

There’s no challenge too big and no project too small.

The foundation of everything. We are a strategy-first agency. We believe that every client, every brand and every person is different and should tailor their digital presence to reflect what makes them unique. We take time to discuss goals and KPI’s with each client before diving in to create a blueprint for where, why and how you should show up on the digital space.
This is offered as the initial step of our monthly retainers or can be a separate project.
Where the fun happens: content creation. If you dream it, we can do it. From photos, to video, commercials, UGC, copywriting, email, graphics, stop-motion and more, our creative direction is based on your branding, not ours.
Building community is what it’s all about. We will manage your social media platforms including: creating social media schedules, posting, replying to comments, liking relevant content & interacting with your target audience to build your community on the platforms where it matters.
Current platforms include Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Pinterest and more.
Working together is more fun. We know how impactful partnerships can be and how tedious they can be to manage. We have over 10 years of experience working with influencers and brands to increase impressions and reach new audiences. We will source & identify the perfect partners for your brand and handle the relationship from hello to hallelujah.
Additional partnership budget required.
The content creators champion. We manage select influencer & content creator talent by helping them grow their social platforms with a tailored strategy and weekly trending content ideas. We actively pitch our talent to secure brand partnerships & assist in monetizing their social platforms.
We love being IRL. Experiential moments & events are a big part of building a brand today. We’ll attend to make sure it’s perfectly captured and translated into the digital space, collecting content for future messaging and working with any other agency or PR partners to ensure it makes a splash.
This can be offered as a part of our monthly retainers or can be a separate project.
A healthy email strategy is necessary for any direct to consumer business. Email is an integral part in speaking directly to your customer and telling your brand story. By bringing all digital touchpoints of your brand together in a cohesive way, we can make an impact with sales, building community and more.
Paid media is an important component of a healthy digital media landscape. With paid social advertising, we can amplify the content we are producing to help your brand reach new audiences that are aligned with your target consumers.
Additional paid media budget required.
Showing results through numbers. Ongoing reporting is an important fundamental component of our industry. We’ll provide weekly, bi-weekly or monthly recaps of how our work is making a difference for your brand and use our learnings to consistently move the needle as we work together.

Testimonials

There are only a handful of marketing agencies I recommend to clients and Cherry Creative is one of them. I can count on the Cherry team to understand the different phases of a growing business. They know how to pivot, get creative and only suggest strategies that actually produce an ROI for clients where every investment matters. They're smart, talented and a joy to collaborate with.

Kara Duffy, Kara Duffy Business Coaching

Working with Marissa and Cherry Creative has been one of the best decision that our company could have made ahead of our launch. As two founders who have little experience in marketing or social strategy, we leaned on Marissa to set us up for success and enable us to grow our brand in a way that felt authentic to what we building. She helped us every step of the way and was always available and ready to brainstorm when we needed a partner to bounce ideas off of — both big and small. We highly recommend Cherry Creative to any business, especially those just starting out, looking to elevate their marketing efforts.

Halli Seigel, Quincy

I’ve been working with Marissa at Cherry-Creative for over a year now and it has been one of my best working relationships ever. Marissa and her team are thoughtful, creative, organized, available, and always so proactive.
As I had just started Bougie Gougies and I was holding so many plates in the air, Marissa quickly became an integral part of my team and I never felt the need to second guess her or constantly look over her shoulder. I trusted her to completely run the digital marketing side of my business and it was the right decision to place that trust in her and Cherry-Creative. From the beginning, Bougie Gougies has received such strong positive feedback to our social media content from the creative side to it as well as from the sales side of our product from our social media platforms. This is a true partnership and Cherry-Creative has far exceeded my expectations.

Kris Middleton, Founder and CEO, Bougie Gougies LLC

To everyone out there who may be looking for a digital marketing agency, you can stop and just hire Cherry Creative. I have now worked with Marissa and her team for over 2 years and I seriously can’t imagine not having them as part of my team. Having someone like Marissa join your marketing team is next level. She doesn’t just deliver on what she promises, most of the time, she over delivers. Her team is very easily adaptable to changes, which is a must for a company like ours. We are constantly evolving and adapting to the ever-changing consumer landscape and Cherry Creative is on it at all times. I can go on and on about how amazing they are. One great example is when they were tasked with taking on our email marketing, something that wasn’t part of our original agreement. I had the utmost confidence that they would deliver based on past experience but wow – they blew me away. I didn’t know how much better our entire email strategy would become once they took over.

Anne Marie Kortright - CMO of o3waterworks

I have known Marissa Stahl and her agency Cherry Creative for 3 years now, and I am continually impressed with their knowledge of the digital marketplace as well as their attention to detail and skill. Marissa quickly delves into her clients' businesses and finds opportunities to maximize their digital and social environment, and is a great partner in developing winning strategies and communication initiatives. As the CEO of one of her clients, I had the opportunity to see first hand how Marissa and her team were able to position us in a very competitive marketplace. In my opinion, Cherry Creative is a "Best of Class" agency, and will continue to grow in the years to come. If you have a chance to engage with Marissa, do so - you will become a big fan as well.

Richard Scheiner, President, MESA Management Consulting

Working with Cherry Creative gave me valuable insight into how my firm could maximize its business development and marketing potential through its internet and social media channels. Marissa was a delight to work with and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of digital marketing and provided me with custom solutions to my business’s development and marketing challenges. I can’t recommend Marissa, and Cherry Creative, highly enough.

Shauna Griffiths, SLG Impact

When it comes to building a brand, Cherry Creative just gets it. I started my fashion brand, KORAI without much of a background in marketing strategy. Cherry Creative counseled our team on content development, influencer marketing and brand awareness strategies. As a small business, we do not have the resources to hire an agency full-time. Cherry Creative gave us that agency-quality insight for our team to execute on and achieve our marketing goals.
