Who I am
I'm Leia Owen, a marketing and business consultant based in Hudson and Marlborough, Massachusetts. I started freelancing in 2015, went full-time in December 2019, and have since worked with more than 300 businesses, nonprofits, schools, and community organizations across MetroWest. My team and collaborators and I help local organizations tell their stories clearly, show up consistently, and build real relationships with the people they serve. As President of the Hudson Business Association, I spend a lot of time with Hudson business owners at lunch meetings, coffee networking, and events like the Hudson Holiday Stroll. My office is right on Main Street, so I'm never far away.

Why it matters for members
Hudson has a loyal shop-local crowd, but people can't support a business they don't know about. This session is about making sure your neighbors can find you, recognize you, and keep coming back, from your Google listing and social media to how you show up at downtown events.
What I do
Social media management: strategy, content, Reels, captions, and scheduling
Branding, design, and print: logos, flyers, signage, media kits, and Canva templates
Websites, email, and local SEO: Wix websites, newsletters, and Google Business Profile
Events and community engagement: planning, promotion, sponsors, and vendors
Fractional marketing department: ongoing strategy and execution under one plan
Workshops and strategy sessions: the Marketing Lab, team trainings, and 1-on-1 planning

Frequently asked questions
Who is the strategy session for?
Owners and leaders of small businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations who want a clear marketing plan, whether you do it yourself, with your team, or with us.
What happens in 90 minutes?
We look at where you are now (your website, social media, Google listing, email, and events), talk through your goals and busy seasons, and map out the priorities that will make the biggest difference. You'll leave with written next steps.
Do I have to sign up for ongoing services?
No. Plenty of people use the session to build a plan they carry out themselves. If you want help after, we'll talk about what that could look like.
In person or online?
Either. We can meet at our Hudson office on Main Street, at Venture X in Marlborough, or over video.
