The Story Behind Storywell
 

Storywell Partners grew out of an unconventional career and more than three decades of working with people, businesses, and ideas.
 

I’m Melissa, and I’ve spent my career doing a little bit of everything—cosmetology, education, human resources, bookkeeping, corporate banking, and marketing. I’ve also built and run my own renaissance faire braiding businesses, so I understand first hand what it takes to keep a business moving while wearing way too many hats.
 

While those experiences may seem unrelated, they all helped shape the marketer I am today.
 

Cosmetology taught me how to listen and understand what people really want. Human resources taught me how people think and communicate. Bookkeeping and operations taught me how businesses actually work. Entrepreneurship taught me how to think like a business owner. Working alongside a small accounting firm for more than a decade gave me the opportunity to establish and manage its marketing and online presence from the ground up.
 

Put it all together, and I’ve developed a pretty practical approach to marketing: understand the people, understand the business, and then figure out how to connect the two.
 

Why Storywell?
 

I created Storywell Partners because I know how easy it is for marketing to become one more thing on an already impossible to-do list.
 

Small business owners don’t need more noise, complicated strategies, or pressure to become marketing experts. They need someone who understands their business and can help them show up consistently in a way that feels authentic.
 

That’s what Storywell is here to do: tell your stories.
 

Whether you need a roadmap, a creative partner, fresh content, or someone to take social media completely off your plate, we provide the support that makes sense for your business.
 

You built your business to do what you do best.

Let Storywell help you tell the story.

"We were in the weeds and really didn't know where to begin with our social media and Marketing.  Melissa swooped in and sorted things out for us, but she also added a level of professionalism and creativity that we hadn't had in our messaging.  Her expert understanding - not only of how people think, but also of industry standards - was invaluable."
