We’ve Rebranded

When I started Riss Marketing, it was just me—Marissa (or “Riss,” as my family and close friends call me). I had this crazy dream of doing marketing differently. I wanted to build a business rooted in genuine relationships, delivering great work for great clients, and tackling every project with curiosity, respect, and a clear sense of purpose.

Over time, that dream grew into something bigger than I could have ever imagined—a team of talented, like-minded people who share the same values and vision. Together, we’ve built more than a business. We’ve built a reputation for honesty, creativity, and results. And now, it’s time for a name that tells that story: Riss Marketing is now Candid Communications.

Why Candid? Because it’s exactly who we are. Honest. Clear. Straightforward. It’s how we work and how we connect with our clients. No fluff. No gimmicks. Just real conversations that lead to real results:

• We won’t sell you on services you don’t need.
• We’ll challenge your thinking to make sure the strategy is right.
• And if we’re not the best fit for the job, we’ll tell you.

Candid is more than a name—it’s our promise. It’s the boldness, transparency, and trust that shape everything we do and every partnership we take on.

To our clients: thank you for trusting us to be part of your story—and letting us help tell it. To everyone just getting to know us: we’re excited to show you why Candid is more than a name.

Here’s to the next chapter—and to continue to do the work we love with the people who inspire us. 

Let’s get to it!
