About

Your marketing should not require a second mortgage.
If you are a small business owner drowning in marketing tasks or paying consultants more than your mortgage, I understand.

For years, I watched small businesses spend ten to fifteen thousand dollars on generic advice that never translated into real results. I saw owners work seventy hour weeks just to keep up and still feel invisible online.

That is when I decided to do something about it.

The Small Business Marketing Trap

Every day, small business owners face an impossible choice:

• Pay thousands to consultants who do not understand their business or their community, or
• Try to do everything themselves and burn out

After fifteen years as a hairstylist and five years leading marketing for a salon, I have lived both sides. I know the stress of slow seasons, the cost of inconsistent marketing, and the frustration of hiring “experts” who have never actually served a local client.

Why I Can Actually Help

I am Renee, the founder of Radiant Rise Creative, a marketing studio built for small businesses that want clear results without inflated retainers.

I built a 140-client book from the ground up using the same strategies I now bring to my clients — consistency, authentic connection, and content that converts.

Here is what shapes my approach:

• Navy veteran: I value systems, structure, and integrity.
• Mom of three boys: I understand priorities, balance, and real life.
• BSBA in Marketing from ECU: I pair strategy with heart.
• Still working inside a small business: I stay connected to what works in real time, not just theory.

Marketing That Makes Sense

My goal is simple, make marketing manageable.

I do not believe in overwhelming retainers or confusing jargon. I believe in short, focused partnerships that give you everything you need to shine with clarity and confidence.

Through a-la-carte services and personalized support designed for small businesses, I help you:

• Capture authentic content that reflects your brand
• Turn one content day into a full month of social posts
• Design flyers, emails, and campaigns for your next event
• Learn simple AI tools that save time and money
• Build systems you can maintain long after our time together

Clients stop saying, “I do not have time for marketing,” and start saying, “I cannot believe how easy this feels now.” “I do not have time for marketing,” and start saying, “I cannot believe how easy this feels now.”

Perfect If You Are…

• A service-based business owner who values authenticity over hype
• Tired of generic advice that does not fit your business
• Ready for simple, practical systems that work
• Local to the Triangle (or wish your consultant was)
• Someone who wants support that feels encouraging, not overwhelming
