Who is Monica Malave?
Monica Malave is a marketing and branding strategist with over a decade of experience helping organizations gain clarity, strengthen their positioning, and align marketing with business goals. She is also the founder of Elevate It Now®, a full-service marketing and branding agency. Through monicamalave.me, Monica works directly with leaders who need strategic guidance before execution.
What types of clients do you work with?
Monica works with founders, CEOs, executives, nonprofits, government-adjacent organizations, real estate professionals, and mission-driven businesses. Most clients come seeking clarity, alignment, or senior-level marketing insight—not just tactical execution.
How is this different from working with Elevate It Now?
Monicamalave.me is focused on strategy, consulting, and leadership guidance.
Elevate It Now is focused on execution and full-service marketing support.
If Elevate It Now handles the “how,” Monica’s consulting work focuses on the “why” and the “what.” Many clients start with strategy here and move into execution with Elevate It Now when ready.
What services are offered through monicamalave.me?
Services typically include:
- Brand and marketing strategy consulting
- Positioning and messaging clarity
- Marketing audits and assessments
- Executive or founder advisory
- Strategic roadmaps and planning
Engagements are customized based on the client’s goals and stage of growth.
Do you offer one-time consultations or ongoing advisory?
Both. Some clients need a focused strategy session or assessment, while others benefit from ongoing advisory support. The best structure is determined during an initial conversation.
Is this consulting or coaching?
This is strategic consulting, not motivational coaching. Recommendations are grounded in experience, data, and real-world execution—not theory or hype.
Do you work with startups or only established businesses?
Monica works with both, but the best fit is organizations that are serious about growth and ready to make strategic decisions. Early-stage startups must be clear on their commitment to building a strong foundation.
Do you offer implementation or “done-for-you” services?
Implementation is handled through Elevate It Now. Monica’s role here is to ensure that any execution is guided by a clear, intentional strategy.
How do I know if I’m a good fit?
You’re likely a good fit if:
- Your brand or marketing feels unclear or inconsistent
- You’ve outgrown your current approach
- You want senior-level insight without full-time overhead
- You value strategy before tactics
If you’re looking for quick fixes or purely tactical support, this may not be the right fit.
What industries do you specialize in?
Monica has worked across multiple industries, including real estate, nonprofits, government and associations, professional services, and small businesses. The common thread is not industry—it’s the need for clarity and alignment.
Do you offer bilingual or culturally informed strategy?
Yes. Monica brings a bilingual, culturally informed perspective to her work and frequently advises organizations serving diverse or multicultural audiences.
How do I get started?
The first step is a conversation. This allows both parties to understand goals, challenges, and fit before moving forward.
What can I expect from working together?
Clients can expect:
- Honest, strategic insight
- Clear recommendations
- Thoughtful guidance grounded in experience
- Alignment between brand, marketing, and business goals
No fluff. No guesswork. Just intentional strategy.
