Your marketing director, without the hire. A Worcester marketing consultant who builds the systems behind your leads.

You hire the experience.
You keep everything I build.

I’m one independent marketing consultant who works like an in-house marketing director you have on call. I start from your business goal, find what’s working and what isn’t, and build the systems and processes behind your leads. You own all of it. We track a few numbers tied to profit, growth, and your team, not clicks and impressions. I work with home service businesses and manufacturers.

The whole system

taste × science = leads

Creativity without science is noise. Science without creativity is spreadsheets. Together they get you found and bring in better leads.

You do not need more homework

Most bad results are not a one-tactic problem.

They are a disconnected system. Leads come in faster than anyone can call them back. Growth outruns the spreadsheet. Referrals slow down and nobody knows how to reach new customers. Quotes stall because buyers don’t see the full value.

Quick answers

Questions owners ask first.

Who is Creativity Scientist?

A Worcester, MA consulting practice run by Rich Marczewski, an independent marketing consultant. You hire my experience, not a package. I work like an in-house marketing director you have on call: I start from your goal and build the systems behind your leads (search, AI visibility, CRM, follow-up, and content). You own everything I build.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Two kinds. Small and mid-size manufacturers, usually $10M to $30M in revenue, who need senior marketing direction, either for the marketer they have or in place of one. And owner-led home service businesses (electrical contractors, tree services, landscapers, and other trades) that want more of the right jobs: owners losing leads because they’re too busy to call back, teams growing fast enough to need a CRM, referral businesses ready to reach new customers, and anyone losing deals at the quote. Learn more about manufacturing marketing or home services marketing.

How much does it cost?

Start free with an entry audit. The deep audit is $499 and gets credited toward your first engagement. Ongoing work is an active monthly relationship, not autopilot. It starts at $2,000 a month for service businesses and $4,000 a month for manufacturers, always with a defined scope. It all starts with the audit.

Where are you based?

Worcester, Massachusetts. I work with businesses across Worcester County and Central MA, and with manufacturers anywhere in the US, in person when it counts and remote the rest of the time.

The book of knowledge

Make a week of marketing in an afternoon, without sounding like a robot.

For owners who use AI or want everything in one place: a Claude workspace I hand-build and train on your business. When your positioning changes or customers tell you something new, you update it once, not in twenty documents. One-time build, $2,500, and you own it.
