Marissa Morton

Consultant

Marissa Morton is a creative who specializes in ethical digital marketing and inclusive content creation. As a pandemic graduate, Marissa chose to forgo a traditional corporate route and began a remote startup digital marketing company called Conscious Growth Communications as a solopreneur. She started her business out of a desire to create ethical marketing strategies in what she’d come to realize was an often deceitful industry. The mission of Conscious Growth (and Marissa’s general professional mission) is to develop effective and inclusive content that is neither performative nor exploitative. Through Conscious Growth, Marissa has had the opportunity to help various agencies and brands across the country incorporate inclusive language guidelines and principles into their marketing strategies. 

During her collegiate career she held various internships in the marketing world including a stint in the Sports Information Department for University of Colorado Athletics, an apprenticeship with an award-winning hospitality public relations agency in Denver, and content specialist positions in both agencies and in house departments. 

Outside of diversity, equity and inclusion, Marissa also enjoys spending time working as a doggy-daycare attendant, coaching Varsity Women’s Basketball at a local high school with her dad, watching her brother play baseball, engaging in spiritual and personal development practices, listening to music, and consuming an unhealthy amount of reality television.
