Placid Marketing

Placid Marketing is a Melrose-based consultancy that helps small businesses and nonprofits develop and carry out sustainable marketing that supports their specific goals. Founder and owner Leah Hancock has more than 15 years of marketing experience across multiple industries and works with organizations on both digital and traditional channels. Her starting point is that one-size-fits-all strategies never really work, so each engagement begins with a close look at an organization’s history, strengths and gaps.

From there the work might target more foot traffic, higher per-ticket sales, steadier revenue in a business with fluctuating demand, a refreshed website or a social media plan that goes beyond the occasional post. Past clients include Tinkerhaus Community Makerspace, whose director credits Hancock with helping it pursue a specific visibility goal on its first advertising spend. Testimonials describe her as a careful listener with organized, practical recommendations.
