Haymaker

We hired Marissa to capture content for both the Villa and the Retreats at Element Ranch, and what she delivered far exceeded our expectations. Her professionalism, keen eye, expert staging, and creative direction were invaluable. The final photos and videos are exceptional, and we’re already planning to have her back out again. Highly recommended.

Working with Marissa Schulze of Haymaker Marketing has been one of the most transformative partnerships we’ve had at The Pine Chalet. In just six months, she took our Instagram presence from a quiet 400 followers to a thriving community of over 4,000 highly engaged fans — and the results speak volumes. Before teaming up with Marissa, direct bookings accounted for less than 5% of our reservations. Today, they represent nearly 40% of our stays. That kind of shift is nothing short of remarkable.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Marissa on a one-on-one Zoom consultation. Her offer of a 90 minute conversation was a perfect way to connect and learn from her quickly. Having the opportunity to chat and dive right into my Instagram content, business offers and the ability to ask her any questions I wanted related to my business, was invaluable. It was fun and we laughed a lot. She discussed lots of different options/approaches to my content and she even sent me some additional resources via email after the call. Marissa is a wealth of information, with a lot of cool experiences to speak from. I am thankful we connected and I look forward to more interactions with Marissa in the future.

Working with Marissa at Haymaker Marketing has been nothing short of incredible! She managed the social media for my short-term rental, Villa of the Rocks in Sedona, AZ, for six months and completely elevated our online presence. From creating beautifully branded content to engaging with our audience and keeping everything consistent, Marissa brought creativity, professionalism, and genuine passion to every post. She also helped us connect with influencers who were the perfect fit for our brand, expanding our reach in such an authentic and meaningful way. Her strategic mindset and thoughtful approach made all the difference — she didn’t just post, she told our story. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands hospitality marketing and delivers high-quality, heart-led work, Marissa is your go-to!
