About Maven Digital

I’ve spent much of my career working at the intersection of marketing, communications, design and technology. I like figuring things out, solving problems and finding ways to make things work better.

That’s essentially what Maven Digital is all about.

I help businesses make sense of their online presence, whether that means building a website, sorting out a technical problem, improving their visibility in search or stepping back to figure out what they should be doing differently.

I bring a marketing perspective to the technical side of digital, and a practical understanding of technology to the marketing side. I think both matter. A website can look great and still miss the mark. A clever marketing idea isn’t much use if the technology behind it doesn’t work.

The trick is getting the pieces to work together.

It’s personal. And it’s collaborative.

Maven Digital is me, Marilyn Strain, working directly with clients and drawing on a network of smart, creative and dedicated people I’ve met and worked with over the years.
