Results that move the needle.

I work with founder-led brands and public-facing experts who have strong work but aren't communicating it effectively. I also help premium food, beverage, and hospitality brands who are ready to think bigger about their marketing.

Years of experience

Not more marketing.
The right marketing.

Most brands don't have a visibility problem. They have a clarity problem.

When your message is sharp, your positioning is intentional, and your marketing is built around real business goals, growth follows. That's the work we do together.

I bring more than a decade of experience across marketing, PR, content, launches, events, and brand strategy — with a background spanning startups, agencies, nonprofits, entertainment, and founder-led businesses.

Over the years, I’ve helped clients grow visibility, secure revenue-driving opportunities, launch bestselling books and new offers, support fundraising, increase engagement, and create marketing that actually moves the business forward.

Services Offered

Every engagement is tailored, but most clients work with me in one of the following ways:

Messaging & Growth Intensive

A focused strategy sprint to get clear on who you are, who you're for, and what your marketing should actually be doing for your business.

Best for founders, authors, speakers, and consultants who have strong work but unclear positioning, or who know something isn't working but can't pinpoint what.

    • You have a clear, confident answer to "what do you do and who is it for"

    • Your marketing priorities are defined. No more scattered effort!

    • You know exactly what to fix first and why

    • You walk away with a written roadmap, not just notes from a call

    • Brand, offer, and messaging audit

    • Audience and positioning refinement

    • Content and visibility strategy

    • 30–90 day growth priorities

    • Strategy session + written roadmap with actionable next steps

    Starting from $2,500

Thought Leadership & Visibility

Ongoing strategic content and messaging support for founders and experts who want to stay visible, build authority, and show up consistently without doing it alone.

Best for authors, speakers, executives, and founder-led brands where you are the face of the business and need a strategic partner to shape the message and keep the content moving.

    • You show up consistently without scrambling to create content

    • Your message gets sharper and more confident over time

    • Visibility opportunities no longer slip through the cracks

    • Your marketing starts working harder than your calendar

    • Monthly strategy and editorial planning

    • Ghostwritten thought leadership content

    • Newsletter or founder note support

    • Messaging support for announcements and visibility opportunities

    • Ongoing refinement based on what's resonating

    Retainer starting from $4,000 per month

Launch & Revenue Campaign

Strategic support for the moments that matter most:
when something important is on the line and you need more than last-minute marketing to make it land.

Best for brands and experts preparing for a product release, book launch, offer launch, fundraising campaign, or major visibility push where message, timing, and execution all have to work together.

    • Your launch has a clear narrative, not just a content calendar

    • Every piece of the campaign connects to a real goal

    • You're not doing it alone, and it shows in the result

    • Campaign strategy and core messaging

    • Launch narrative and key angles

    • Content and communications plan

    • Email and promotional messaging support

    • Press release or PR messaging, if relevant

    • Strategic guidance throughout + post-launch review

    Project based, starting from $6,000

Food, Beverage & Hospitality

For brands where taste, culture, and experience are the product.

Wine brands, spirits founders, restaurant groups, culinary experience companies, and premium hospitality businesses have a specific challenge: the product is deeply sensory, the audience is sophisticated, and generic marketing advice doesn't translate.

I bring more than marketing strategy to this space.

As a WSET Level 3 sommelier with distinction & Certified Sake Sommelier with hands-on experience across fine dining, retail wine, and spirits education, I understand your world from the inside. All three core engagements are available with a specialized lens for food, beverage, and hospitality clients.

Additional Support

Focused help when you need it.

For clients who need targeted support outside of a full engagement, I offer select standalone and add-on services.

  • A half-day or full-day intensive for brands and experts who need focused strategic direction and a clear action plan on a tighter timeline.

    Starting from $2,500 half-day / $4,500 full-day

  • Standalone writing, messaging, and production projects, scoped to fit.

    This could include press releases, website copy, email sequences, pitch deck messaging, articles, and branded content like photography or video editing.

    Pricing varies.

  • For existing clients, additional campaign assets and expanded support may be added based on scope.

Work that moves your business forward

Every engagement is built around real outcomes, not just deliverable counts or content calendars for their own sake.

Clients Have Said

  • "Megumi was a true partner in helping grow our speakers collective into a revenue-generating business. She brought a rare combination of business development, strategic thinking, organization, and client-facing polish, helping drive outreach, manage relationships, support meetings, and keep opportunities moving from initial prospect to signed engagement. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and ability to manage so many moving parts made her an invaluable part of the business, helping us secure 23 speaking engagements and generate over $100K in revenue."

    Jerry, Keynote Speaker & Founder

  • "Megumi was an incredible partner in helping me launch my first book, "Unforgettable Presence." She brought strategy, structure, and thoughtful execution to the process, from content planning to coordinating coverage with my PR team to even taking photographs of me (she is multitalented!). Her support played a meaningful role in helping the book become an Amazon bestseller, and I received so many comments from peers about how they saw my book everywhere during launch. I'm so grateful I had her as a partner throughout the process, and I've since been able to refer her to other authors also looking to create a successful book launch. Highly recommend!"

    Lorraine, Author & Keynote Speaker

  • "I worked with Megumi during a major inflection point moment in my strategy. Although I was riding momentum from a series of wins, I needed to discover a way to illustrate a cohesive narrative around my vision and approach. This work went beyond updating a single marketing asset; it required us to go deep, ask tough questions, and emerge with a story that is simultaneously true to myself and compelling for a wide range of audiences. The resulting work, which spanned my brand presence, propelled me forward with confidence and credibility. "

    Mohan, Keynote Speaker & CEO

  • "Megumi was a fantastic partner to have as an extension of our team. She quickly understood our clients’ needs, and consistently delivered thoughtful, polished materials. She’s strategic, reliable, and easy to trust with client-facing communications. She was a huge asset in supporting our agency’s content and communications needs, and I would gladly work with her again."

    Dhara, Agency Founder

  • "Megumi is thoughtful, strategic, and incredibly detail-oriented, and working with her is always such a positive experience. She brings both creative vision and strong execution to the table, and I always felt supported by how organized, responsive, and thoughtful she was. She has a great eye, strong instincts, and a way of making complex projects feel much more manageable, polished, and honestly fun from start to finish."

    Misasha, Author & Keynote Speaker

Meet Megumi

There's a specific kind of frustration I work with a lot:
You have something real (a strong offer, a credible body of work, a brand with actual substance) but your marketing isn't reflecting it. The message is muddy, the positioning is vague, or the execution keeps falling to the bottom of the list.

You know something isn't working. You just don't always know what.

That's where I come in.

I work at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and execution — which means I can diagnose what's not landing, clarify the message, and actually help carry the work forward.

My clients have included authors, keynote speakers, startup founders, nonprofit leaders, and premium consumer brands. The work has ranged from launch strategy and ghostwriting to business development support, press materials, and full marketing direction. What stays consistent is the standard: thoughtful, intentional work that connects to real business goals.

I also bring specialized expertise in the food, beverage, and hospitality space. As a WSET Level 3 sommelier with distinction and Certified Sake Profession with hands-on experience across fine dining, retail wine, and spirits education, I understand premium consumer culture from the inside.
