About Marian

Hello, I'm Marian and I'm a freelance inbound marketing consultant living in Portland, Oregon, and I'm the owner of Kaha.

I specialize in creating digital and inbound marketing strategies, HubSpot, email marketing, Google Analytics and search engine optimization (SEO).

My Background

I dedicated myself to freelancing and created Kaha for several reasons:

1. I love learning about different businesses and their customers. Studying audiences is genuinely energizing for me, and I like understanding how a business solves their customers’ unique problems.

Ideally, there is a very real and present need not being addressed and a business that is answering that need, and I’m simply connecting the two parties. My favorite part of inbound marketing is discovering how to package the business' message in the most effective manner possible, which leads me to the next reason I started Kaha.

2. I want to help lots of businesses grow. I've witnessed great success for business growth using the areas of expertise I offer, and I wanted to share my inbound marketing and business development experience beyond a single employer. Besides traditional networking and word-of-mouth referrals, I believe that having an effective digital strategy and presence is critical to your business' success. Through Kaha, I get the opportunity to help a diversity of clients develop their own, unique digital inbound marketing strategies. How lucky am I?

3. The dream. Finally, I’ve always dreamt of starting a business, so this venture is the realization of that dream. Cheers to chasing your dreams.
