You know it’s valuable. The picture’s just unclear.
I help mission-driven businesses get clear on what they have, then build the brand and systems to bring it to life.
This is for you if…
- 01 You’re past the survival phase. The business is growing, the team is in place, but you’re still the only one holding the strategic thread.
- 02 You’ve worked with marketers and agencies before. The deliverables came. The soul didn’t.
- 03 You know your work is valuable. You just can’t get the words and the systems to match it.
- 04 You’re building something that matters, and you want a partner who hears what’s underneath the brief.
- 05 You’re ready to stop translating yourself to people who don’t quite get it.
Three ways to work together.
Every engagement starts with a conversation. The right level of partnership depends on where the business is, what’s in place already, and what the next chapter asks for.
Strategic Advisory Retainer
For founders who have a team but need a senior thinking partner. Weekly calls, async access, advisory only. I bring the strategic frame; you bring the execution.
Fractional Creative Director
For businesses ready for both strategic leadership and hands-on creative direction. I hold strategy, brand, and creative execution — building the website, designing the brand, producing the content alongside your team.
Fractional CMO
For growing businesses ready to hand the marketing thread to a senior partner. I sit in leadership meetings, own the strategy, and lead the team or contractors executing it.
Not sure which fits? That’s what the call is for.

I have absolutely loved working with Solaris! Joy and Melanie are a dream team. They created an absolutely stunning backend system and website for one of my clients and got her fully on-boarded on their incredible platform. I'm obsessed with this CRM platform as it replaces the need for so many other subscriptions and truly simplifies and amplifies your business. As a marketing executive, I can't say enough good things about it and Sol Light!
I'm absolutely thrilled with my new system! It completely exceeded my expectations and truly captures everything I envisioned for my business and brand. It feels so personalized and intentional every detail reflects the essence of my practice perfectly. Both of the girls were beyond helpful and so kind throughout the entire process. They explained everything step by step, made the experience effortless, and went above and beyond to bring my ideas to life. I'm genuinely so excited to continue growing with them, the platform offers so many incredible tools and opportunities to keep expanding my business. I couldn't recommend them more!
Working with Solaris has been an experience of pure ease. They not only helped me gain clarity, but also brought my vision to life by creating my business system, brand and website with such intention and skill. Their visualization practices are incredible! They guided me into a deep inner understanding of my mission, my ideal client, and the theme and design that would best communicate my message. When I saw the finished work, I was both surprised and delighted by how beautifully it all came together. I've already received so much positive feedback, and I couldn't be happier with the result.
Amazing and creative women to work with. They can take your core vision and principles and run with them. Trustworthy and transparent. I'd give them more than five stars if I could!
Solaris is an excellent platform and has helped my business in so many ways. It's simple and easy to use. I'm so grateful!
Solaris is an incredibly talented agency for all things systems, website designs and creator. They built our nonprofit website and we could not be happier! A hundred thumbs up to this company.
The best! Melanie worked very hard to make my dreams a reality. They designed a clean system, a beautiful site that honored my vision.
Working with Solaris has been such a great experience. We didn’t just create a brand, we built an entire business ecosystem together. From strategy to design to execution, they were incredibly responsive and truly cared every step of the way. I’m still working with them, which says everything. It’s been an incredible opportunity, and I’m deeply grateful for the level of support, integrity, and thoughtfulness they bring to the work.
Working with Melanie and Joy has been an amazing experience. They built an entire business ecosystem for me, not just a website. They created automation campaigns that brought my database back to life, built funnels for recruiting and clients, and made everything plug-and-play. They also helped me get my face online through videos, shorts, and social content, all distributed automatically. I used to spend hours doing admin work, now it’s all automated. Scale of one to ten? Website: 10. Creativity: 10. Backend systems: 10. They’re incredible to work with and worth every penny.
I See You
Melanie FisherFractional CMO & Creative Director
You've built something that matters. Your clients trust you, your team believes in your vision, and the work itself is good... really good. But you're still the only one holding the strategic thread, and the picture of how to express what you have keeps coming out fuzzy.
I've spent 15+ years building brands, designing websites, and creating marketing systems for mission-driven businesses. Most of my clients come to me with a strong sense that they have something valuable, but a hazy picture of how to bring it into form. I help them get clear, on positioning, brand, offer, direction, and then build the systems that make it real.
What makes me different from other fractional CMOs: I'm a strategist who can also build. I bring deep technical fluency in web development, brand design, video production, and marketing automation alongside senior strategic leadership. Strategy AND execution, in one partner.
The strategic and the sacred.
Selected Work
THE SOLARIS METHOD
Five elements. One integrated practice.
Every engagement moves through the same five elements. This is the framework I use to take a business from a hazy picture to a clear, expressed, working whole.
Clarity first. We get clear on what the business actually is, who it serves, and where it's going. Strategy before anything gets built, so every decision after this one has a frame to stand inside of.
Essence and identity. The voice, the visual language, the way the work feels when someone meets it. We bring the soul of the business into form so people recognize it the moment they see it.
Active marketing. Posts, content, channels, ads. The way the brand reaches the people it's meant to serve, consistently and on purpose, instead of waiting to be found.
What gets sold. Priced, positioned, and communicated so the right people say yes and the wrong people self-select out. The offer is where the business meets the bank account.
The technology that carries everything. Website, CRM, automations, integrations, the whole stack. Built and connected so the system actually runs without the founder pushing it forward every day.
Flow with Solaris on YouTube
