Meet Michelle Puccinelli

Michelle Puccinelli began her marketing journey in 2019 as a part-time, entry-level social media manager - with zero marketing education or experience. Today she is the marketing director for eight different businesses and oversees over 30 marketing freelancers. While managing these teams of specialized marketers, she realized that EVERY small business and solopreneuer could get the marketing they deserve, without hiring expensive agencies or internal employees.

Today her company, Micro Marketer, helps business owners build the exact marketing teams they need. Her team acts as a "Marketing Director For Rent" - preparing businesses to receive marketing help, then finding the ideal freelancer that will move their business forward. She's obsessed with hooking up business owners and contractors and sending them off into the sunset on a beautiful marketing adventure.
