Growth strategy,
without the overhead.
I'm Michelle Tran, founder of Marketing With Mish. I help dentists and healthcare businesses build marketing that supports real growth — and I work with other growing organizations that need the same clarity, strategy, and accountability.
One partner for the whole picture
I help businesses get from "we should do marketing" to "it's working." That means strategy, execution, and keeping your agencies accountable. I have particular depth in dental and healthcare, and I work with other growing organizations that need the same thing.
