About Me:
Marissa Cundiff, Founder
I’m Marissa! I was born and raised in Kentucky and I’ve spent most of life living a fast paced exciting lifestyle. I made the move to California in 2019 and haven’t looked back. I’ve been lucky enough to travel to many places around the world, both through some of my previous work and my love of exploring new places. I find so much beauty in the places I visit and am constantly inspired by everything around me. I feel anything could spark a good idea if you just keep an open mind to the world around you!
I’ve worked with various designer and lifestyle brands including Vera Wang, Paradigm, Original Penguin and more, through my time at Kenmark Eyewear. I started there as Design Coordinator in 2010 and grew to be the Vice President of Marketing in 2020, I eventually made the decision to move on in 2022 to explore some new things. I have 10+ years experience working with a wide array of brands and budgets which I brought to life through marketing, social media, PR and creative. I want to use this experience to help brands grow in fresh, exciting ways through marketing strategies + campaigns, creating content, brand awareness and more, with the goal of making these services both affordable and approachable. I’m passionate about digging into the details, curating experiences and creating a community of real humans who love and connect with your brand.
Goldefolk is all about meshing California and Kentucky, marrying the best parts of the two places I call home. I believe inspiration can be found anywhere around you and I’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by so much in these two beautiful states. I thrive in the fast paced city life as well as the slow flow of life in KY and I love bringing both of these vibes into my work life.
Things that make me happy: my family, Disney, traveling, pizza, the sun, going for walks with my pup, traveling, binge watching a show I really love, photographing flowers, iced chai, french fries, a really good book, yellow + sage green and plants.
About Goldefolk:
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Great marketing doesn’t need to have massive budgets to be successful. Goldefolk is able to help achieve your goals and create experiences within any budget. My goal is to be both affordable and approachable - there are plenty of opportunities to expand brand awareness through many marketing avenues and I’m willing to start small and grow with you. Goldefolk is not an all or nothing package.
I love to tell stories and create experiences for your customers, big or small. If a person feels drawn, inspired and connected to the brand through the overall feeling, values and vibes then we believe you’ll have a customer for life.
I’m known for my love of diving in deep. I want to learn about your product or service and hear about why you do what you do. Passion meets passion. It’s all in the details, little by little progress is made. There are so many impactful ways to reach customers even by scaling down and starting slow + opportunities to expand brand awareness at all levels. We’re excited to start small, or at any stage, and grow with you.
