Meet Your WNY Marketing Partner

Local Knowledge Backed by Real Business Experience

Living WNY is led by Marissa Jeffery, a lifelong Western New York resident with a business degree from Buffalo State College with a strong background in finance and banking as a loan originator. That financial foundation means she approaches every client partnership with the same precision and accountability she brought to helping families secure their futures. With five years of proven marketing results, including her work as a publisher with Best Version Media, Marissa brings both creative energy and data-backed strategy to every business she partners with. She was also nominated for Small Business of the Year by a local chamber, a recognition that reflects her commitment to this community.

Common Questions

Answers for WNY Business Owners

  • What types of businesses does Living WNY typically work with?

    Living WNY works primarily with small and medium-sized business owners across Western New York, including service providers like landscapers, local retail shops, and professional services. The ideal client needs a consistent, professional brand presence but doesn't have the time or internal resources to manage print advertising, digital listings, reputation management, and a website all at once. Businesses that benefit most are those where a single new customer relationship has enough long-term value to justify a monthly marketing investment.

  • What areas does Living WNY serve?

    Living WNY serves businesses across Western New York with a primary focus on West Seneca, Orchard Park, Buffalo, and Hamburg. The community publications, West Seneca Living and Orchard Park Living, are distributed directly to residents in those communities. Digital services including listings management, reputation management, and website oversight extend across the broader WNY region. Living WNY operates as a service-area business, keeping its focus on a defined set of local communities rather than spreading too thin across the region.

  • How does combining print and digital marketing actually help my business?

    Each channel reinforces the other. A community magazine like West Seneca Living or Orchard Park Living puts your brand in front of local residents in a trusted, tangible format. When that same resident later searches for your type of business online, a well-managed Google Business Profile, consistent listings, and a professional website confirm that you're the right choice. The result is a business that feels familiar and credible before a potential customer ever picks up the phone or fills out a contact form.

  • How long does it take to see results from reputation and listings management?

    Timelines vary depending on the current state of your listings and review profile. Cleaning up inaccurate listings and getting your Google Business Profile properly optimized can improve search visibility relatively quickly. Building a strong review profile takes more time because it depends on consistent customer feedback over multiple months. The print side of the strategy begins building brand familiarity with local readers as soon as your first issue goes out. Most clients see the combined effect of print and digital working together after several consistent months of activity.

  • Does Living WNY offer graphic design or logo creation?

    No. Living WNY is focused on advertising-side branding services and does not offer standalone graphic design, logo builds, or custom creative work. The services are built around getting your existing brand seen, found, and chosen through community publications, digital listings, reputation management, and website management. If you need foundational design work completed before starting a branding program, that would need to be handled separately before partnering with Living WNY.

  • Who owns the website and digital assets Living WNY manages?

    Client ownership of digital assets is a firm requirement. Living WNY operates on the principle that you should always own your own domain and digital properties. The preferred domain registrar is GoDaddy, which makes it straightforward for the agency to handle technical management on your behalf while you retain full ownership rights. This approach protects you as a business owner and ensures that your digital presence remains yours, regardless of any future changes to your marketing arrangements.

  • How quickly can I expect a response after reaching out to Living WNY?

    Living WNY maintains a 24 to 48 hour response commitment for all client inquiries. Office hours run Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with limited Saturday availability by phone or appointment from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Even if your inquiry comes in outside of business hours, you can expect a response within that 24 to 48 hour window. This commitment to responsiveness is a core part of how Living WNY operates and reflects the same reliability the agency brings to managing client brands.

  • What makes Living WNY different from a national or non-local marketing agency?

    The most significant difference is genuine local knowledge and community investment. Marissa Jeffery has lived in Western New York her entire life, holds a business degree from Buffalo State College, and brings five years of marketing results specifically in this region. She was also nominated for Small Business of the Year by a local chamber. National agencies can offer tools and reach, but they can't replicate the insider understanding of what resonates with residents in West Seneca or Orchard Park. Living WNY also keeps its approach warm and approachable rather than relying on corporate-style tactics that can feel out of place in a close-knit community.
