RINEHART MARKETING
Taking your vision and making it reality
Helping local small businesses in the Pacific Northwest thrive with branding essentials, digital presence & ongoing marketing services
ARE YOU A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER OR INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL
Needing marketing help?
Feeling overwhelmed with your marketing tasks?
Struggling to get your vision off the ground?
Looking for some part-time marketing support?
Confused by the varied aspects of digital marketing & its related technology & looking for advice?
Need a marketing project or website completed or a website refresh?
Perhaps I can assist.
I love using technology to solve business problems and bring order to chaos. I enjoy the how of things, the strategy and systems that help ideas move from fuzzy to functional.
At the same time, I care deeply about supporting local businesses that create something real and human in their communities. In a moment where so much of life happens through screens, I am especially drawn to working with businesses that offer face-to-face service, shared experiences, hands-on craftsmanship, or meaningful personal support.
When these kinds of businesses thrive, communities are stronger and more connected. I also believe strongly in collaboration. No one does their best work in isolation, and small business owners should not have to carry everything alone. My role is to be part of a trusted circle of support, offering thoughtful marketing guidance so owners can stay focused on serving their clients and doing the work that matters most.
Why I’m here.
My work is about freeing local small businesses and independent professionals to focus on what they do best: serving their clients. Marketing should not feel like a second full-time job, and it should not pull energy away from the work that actually matters. I step in to help carry that load through thoughtful marketing support and project management.
I care deeply about small, local businesses thriving, especially the very small ones with just a few people on the team. These businesses are often built on relationships, trust, and presence in their communities. Helping them establish, sustain, and deepen real connections with their clients in a way that actually supports the business financially is work I take seriously.
I also understand the realities. Time is limited. Budgets matter. That is why we focus on cost-effective marketing strategies that are practical, measurable, and able to grow with you. No unnecessary noise. Just smart, steady marketing that works for your business and the stage you are in.
I’M KRISTI RINEHART
Your Versatile Marketing Professional
I bring practical marketing experience and a steady, thoughtful approach to supporting small, local businesses. With more than 20 years of work across B2B, B2C, and nonprofit environments, I focus on what actually moves the needle, not what just adds noise.
I love working with solo entrepreneurs and very small teams who are busy serving their clients and need marketing support they can trust. Our team stays on top of evolving marketing tools, trends, and platforms so you do not have to, helping you make smart decisions without feeling overwhelmed.
I show up as a flexible extension of your business. Sometimes that looks like a part-time, outsourced marketing director guiding ongoing efforts. Other times it is focused project support to get something important across the finish line. Either way, the goal is the same: marketing that feels manageable and genuinely useful for your business.
So let me ask a few questions.
IS YOUR BUSINESS…
Located in the Pacific Northwest or Inland Northwest? We are located in Coeur d’Alene, ID and often like to travel to client sites to help with content creation.
A profitable, independently-owned business with less than $2M in annual sales or fewer than 10 employees?
Present and engaged in your local community?
Mission- or values-driven?
If the answer is generally yes, then you are our ideal client! If your business primarily serves or is led by women, even better.
Let’s take a journey together.
Before we ever recommend a direction, we take time to understand your business and your context. That includes how you show up today, how you connect with clients, and where things feel solid versus stretched. We believe good recommendations start with listening, not assumptions.
Every new engagement begins with a focused look at three core areas, often starting small and building from there:
Branding Essentials
Digital Presence, including SEO, GEO, and conversion
Ongoing Marketing to get, keep, and grow your clients
You can explore each service area below and see where starting small might make the most sense right now.
Our Services
-
Branding Essentials
When marketing feels harder than it should, clarity is usually what’s missing. Branding Essentials help get clear on who you are, who you serve, and how you talk about your work, so everything that follows feels more focused and aligned. We assess what you already have and refine or build the brand strategy and identity pieces that support confident, consistent marketing.
-
Digital Presence
Getting found online today takes more than keywords alone. Your website and content need to be clear, credible, and easy for both people and AI-driven search tools to understand and trust. Digital Presence work strengthens visibility across search, maps, and generative engine results, helping your business show up clearly and turn attention into action.
-
Ongoing Marketing
If you want steady marketing support without managing everything yourself, Ongoing Marketing helps keep things moving in the right direction. We work alongside you to prioritize what matters most, stay focused on the right channels, and adjust as your business evolves, all while keeping your goals, capacity, and budget in mind.
-
Project Work
Sometimes you need focused help for a specific marketing need, not an ongoing commitment. Project work is designed for short-term initiatives like campaigns, collaborations, audits, or launches, giving you thoughtful support and momentum without overextending your time or resources. It is a practical way to get something important done well and move forward with more clarity.
Rinehart Marketing Values
We are question-askers to get clarity of purpose & objectives. We keep objectives clearly in view throughout the project.
Focus
As we ask questions, together we learn. We assume we are a team working together toward a common goal.
Collaboration
It’s important for us to feel a connection to our clients. We want to create working relationships that bring us mutual joy, fun and fulfillment!
Connection
We can’t help giving our whole effort to a task. We have high personal standards and take pride in our quality of work.
Excellence
We are process & systems thinkers, and look for ways to do things smarter over time. We regularly ask, ‘What difference will this effort make?’
Efficiency
Experimentation over perfection
As lifelong learners with growth mindsets, we will look for ways to try something new that can be measured and see what can be learned.
We love looking for ways we can serve our clients while doing good, and making a difference in the world. We are particularly passionate about supporting and elevating women-led businesses and ones that primarily serve women.
