Artwork: Emile Renouf’s 1875 painting, The Helping Hand. This piece debuted at the Paris Salon in 1881 and critics raved. Renouf came from a family of writers, not painters. Unfortunately his career was cut short in his late 40s due to blindness.
Who We Serve
Empowering Small Businesses and Solo Entrepreneurs
Ember Rose Marketing helps small businesses, solo entrepreneurs, and nonprofits grow with intention.
From Plumbing companies needing local SEO to photographers wanting a cleaner website to nonprofits stretching every dollar to make it count: we offer both on-site and off-site marketing (i.e. paid media advertising and strategy, organic search (SEO), branding direction, and basic web design, and more).
Here’s what we know: as private equity and AI consolidate and automate, they create something unexpected, gaps. Gaps in personal connection. Gaps in genuine care. Gaps where small businesses can step in and stand out like never before.
We’re here to help you fill them.

Our Thoughtful Approach
Ember Rose Marketing helps small businesses grow through clear strategy and thoughtful execution.

Meet Ember Rose Marketing
Ember Rose Marketing was created out of a simple belief: that small businesses deserve marketing done thoughtfully and with care, for both their wallet and their brand.
Too often, small business marketing is rushed, templated, or focused on short-term wins. Ember Rose Marketing exists to take a more intentional approach—one that looks at the full picture, adapts quickly when problems crop up, and supports sustainable growth over time.
I see the need nearly every day.
When I tell someone I work in digital marketing, the response is almost always the same:
“Oh, I’m not showing up on Google. Can you help?”
“I could really use someone like you.”
I even get “I wish I had met you sooner”
It happens at dinner parties, coffee shops, school pickup. And behind those comments, I hear something deeper: frustration. Confusion. The quiet pain of working so hard and still feeling invisible online.
That’s who Ember Rose is for. The small business owners, solo entrepreneurs, and nonprofits who are doing the work but need someone to help them be seen.
I see you. I hear you. And I want to help. This is why Ember Rose Marketing exists.
