about
RISE CREATIVE
HELLO, I'M MARISA SWITZER - THE FACE BEHIND RISE. I COULD START THIS ABOUT PAGE BY LISTING ALL OF MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN ORDER TO IMPRESS YOU, BUT INSTEAD, I'D LIKE TO GET A BIT DEEPER.
IF YOU LOOKED BACK ON MY LIFE, YOU’D FIND 12-YEAR-OLD ME LINING THE WALLS OF MY BEDROOM WITH MAGAZINE PAGES, INSPIRED BY BOTH THE EDITORIAL DESIGN & INCREDIBLE CREATIVITY OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY. I GREW UP WATCHING KELL ON EARTH, THE RACHEL ZOE PROJECT, PROJECT RUNWAY, & MORE, COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL I COULD GET A 'REAL FASHION JOB' IN NEW YORK.
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO START WORKING IN THAT INDUSTRY AT THE AGE OF 15. from there, i was able to experience SO MANY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES & JOBS WITHIN THE INDUSTRY. BUT IN 2014, I found myself sitting at a desk, at my dream job at one of the biggest fashion magazine publishers in new york, and i felt completely unfulfilled. I wasn't serving anyone, i wasn't helping anyone & i wanted my career to have so much more meaning.
TODAY I SPLIT MY TIME BETWEEN ON-SITE PROJECTS, & SITTING IN MY DINING ROOM TURNED OFFICE, GLANCING UP TO FIND THOSE SAME MAGAZINE PAGES FRAMED IN THE PLACE I GET TO WORK MY DREAM JOB EVERY DAY - SERVING ENTREPRENEURS WHO EMBODY THEIR PURPOSE IN THEIR LIFE & BRAND.
from 2010 - 2016: i had the pleasure of working in pr & marketing at launchmetrics, starworks group, hearst publications, & nineteenth amendment.
To date rise has served over 300 brands around the world, with missions impacting populations within the u.s., canada, the u.k., nepal. india. mexico, united arab emirates, pakistan, saudi arabia, kenya, uganda, and more.

“THE ONBOARDING WAS EXQUISITE, THE IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF MY TARGET CUSTOMER WAS EXCEPTIONAL, THE TIMELY TURNAROUND WAS INCREDIBLE, AND THE QUALITY OF WORK WAS JUST OUTSTANDING! I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY DECISION TO WORK WITH RISE.”
