About Me
Hi, I'm Tara!
OWNER & MARKETING CONSULTANT · POSH PINK MARKETING
The Woman Behind the Pink
I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and made my way to the beautiful Pacific Northwest in 2008. I haven't looked back since.
About a month after arriving in Mason County, Washington I met my now husband Justin, and we quite literally haven't left each other's sight since. We tied the knot in 2016, the same year I graduated cum laude from Ashford University with my Bachelor's in Business Administration and a Minor in Marketing. Safe to say 2016 was a big year!
I'm proudly childfree by choice and a devoted dog mom to Waylon — a seven year old rescued Treeing Walker Coonhound/Plott Hound mix who has absolutely stolen my heart. If you want to follow his adorable adventures you can find him on Instagram at @waylon_thehound. Fair warning — he's pretty irresistible.
Why I Do What I do
My love of marketing was sparked in college and has only grown stronger ever since. After graduating cum laude, I spent years putting that education to work, including working directly alongside company Presidents and Vice Presidents managing all aspects of their marketing strategy.
I currently serve as a digital marketer for Dogwoods Canine Play & Stay where I handle their website, social media, events, and more, giving me active, real-world experience in every single service I offer.
But Posh Pink Marketing? This is my heart project.
I originally launched Posh Pink Marketing in 2024, had an absolute blast, and then put it on hiatus in April 2025. I missed it so much I couldn't stay away, so here I am, back and better than ever and so excited to be serving small businesses again.
My favorite thing about this work is simple: taking the weight of marketing completely off your plate. You should be focusing on your actual business: getting new clients, networking, sharpening your skills, doing the thing you built your business to do. You should NOT be stressing about SEO, social media algorithms, or whether your flyer looks professional enough.
That's my job. And I genuinely love doing it.

Iced Coffee Fiend
Iced coffee isn't just a preference, it's a lifestyle. If you see a pink iced coffee somewhere on this website that's basically my personal logo.
Nerdy at Heart
When I'm not marketing I'm painting, cross stitching, watching movies, or deep in a Sims 3 rabbit hole. Yes I have a YouTube channel for it: @pinkPlumbobandPaws. No I am not sorry.
My Credentials
My background is not just a list of skills, it is a decade of real experience, continuous learning, and genuine passion for the craft. From the classroom to the boardroom to the boutique consultancy I have built, every step of my journey has prepared me to bring exceptional marketing to your small business. I do not just talk about marketing, I live it every single day.
Background
I am a marketing professional based in Mason County, Washington with over a decade of hands-on experience across digital marketing, brand development, social media management, graphic design, and strategic communications
Experience
Throughout my career I have worked directly alongside company Presidents and Vice Presidents on comprehensive marketing strategy. I currently manage all digital marketing for Dogwoods Canine Play & Stay — giving me active, real-world experience in every service I offer.
Education
I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration with a Minor in Marketing from Ashford University — where I graduated cum laude in 2016. That's where my love of marketing truly began and I haven't looked back since
My Mission
In 2024 I launched Posh Pink Marketing with one simple belief — small businesses deserve big brand marketing, delivered personally and with genuine passion. I am here to take the full weight of marketing off your plate so you can focus on what you do best.
My Promise to You
When you work with Posh Pink Marketing you are not a number, a ticket, or an account. You are a real person with a real business and real dreams, and I treat you that way. I only take on clients I can genuinely serve well because your success genuinely matters to me.
Let's talk about AI: Yes, I do and will use AI tools as part of my creative process--for brainstorming, research, and to help me make sure all the legal stuff is taken care of.
The strategy, the execution, and every single deliverable is always personally created and refined by me (that's the part AI can't do). AI is great as a tool, but it will never be as detailed as people. I believe in being transparent about that.
I also believe that businesses who learn to thoughtfully embrace AI as a tool (not a replacement for expertise) are the ones who will stay ahead.
I am here to help you navigate that too.
I live for the color pink, iced coffee, and helping small businesses shine. In that order. Maybe.
I would be so honored to be part of your business journey.
