Integrated Development & Marketing
We’re not your typical agency. At Stigma, we fuse the art of design and digital strategy with personal development and leadership training. Our approach is deeply collaborative and intentionally backward—starting with who you are before translating that into a compelling brand story. We help you evolve your vision, build an engaging digital presence, and implement strategies that resonate with your real-world experience.
Whether you’re looking to refine your brand, design a website that truly reflects your essence, or engage in transformative training sessions, our work is built on the premise that every detail of your journey matters.

Our Model & Philosophy
Marketing shouldn’t feel forced, complicated, or disconnected from real business. The Upside-Down Marketing Engine simplifies the process by starting with what’s already working—your expertise, services, and relationships—and turning it into natural, sustainable growth. Instead of relying on ads and gimmicks, this approach builds value-based content, authentic engagement, and practical strategies that businesses can actually maintain.
By creating long-term content hubs (blogs, videos, podcasts) and repurposing them across platforms, marketing becomes effortless and algorithm-resistant. Growth happens through genuine connections, strategic networking, and relationship-driven branding, rather than chasing short-term attention. Coaching and hands-on collaboration ensure that businesses not only simplify their marketing but also take ownership of it, making it repeatable, adaptable, and aligned with their vision.
Real Business First:
Marketing shouldn’t be separate from your work—it should grow naturally from the value you provide.
Value-Based Content Core:
We build long-term content hubs (blogs, podcasts, videos) that establish trust and authority, then repurpose them across platforms.
Authentic Service & Relationships:
Growth happens through people. We focus on community, collaboration, and real engagement instead of vanity metrics.
Teach & Simplify:
We coach businesses to take ownership of their marketing, making it repeatable, manageable, and effective.

Core Principles of Stigma's Authentic Model
Team-Driven Collaboration:
We believe the power of authentic relationships is unlocked when we work together. Our approach puts people first—merging the diverse insights of our team and our clients to create solutions that are greater than the sum of their parts. Your vision is amplified through shared passion and purpose.
Storytelling Strategy
Every brand has a narrative, and at Stigma, your story is the heart of your strategy. We craft messaging that reflects your true identity, ensuring that each campaign, design, and digital initiative resonates with authenticity. By focusing on the genuine elements of your journey, we create marketing that feels natural and compelling.
Integrated & Flexible
Our process seamlessly blends creative design, digital innovation, and personal development to fill in big-picture plans and gaps. This integrated framework allows us to adapt to different needs, evolving market dynamics, and shifting challenges, ensuring that our strategies remain value-based and effective over time.
Intentional Organic Growth
Embracing a growth mindset means nurturing progress that is sustainable and genuine. We focus on cultivating long-term success through deliberate, people-first strategies that prioritize authentic relationships and measurable, real-world results. Our commitment is to build your brand slowly and steadily, ensuring that every step forward is rooted in purpose and integrity.
- OUR PROCESS: How Stigma Works -
A Relational, Collaborative Approach
Every partnership begins with a conversation—not a pitch, not a pre-built strategy, but a real discussion about your business, vision, culture, challenges, resources, and goals. We take the time to understand where you are and where you want to go before exploring ideas together. If there’s something Stigma Marketing & Development can do to help, we build a plan that makes sense for both of us—clear, intentional, and built for real impact.
This process ensures that every collaboration is thoughtful, strategic, and built on trust—because marketing and development should feel like a natural extension of your vision, not a forced transaction.
STEP 1: Connect
It all starts with reaching out and a conversation—whether that’s through a contact form, an application, or a direct conversation. No pressure, no gimmicks—just an opportunity to kick ideas around and see if it's a good fit.
STEP 2: BrainStorm!
We meet—either in person in Missoula or remotely—to explore your ideas, challenges, and potential solutions. Together, we clarify your vision and develop a plan that aligns with your business and available resources.
STEP 3: Implement
With a clear strategy and agreed-upon roles, we move forward. Work begins after the first payment, ensuring everything is structured, expectations are set, and the plan is ready to be executed effectively.
