At Thrive Marketing, I believe every small business has a unique story worth sharing. My mission is to bring those stories to life through innovative strategies that drive growth, engagement, and success.
Having grown up in a small business family, I understand firsthand the dedication and challenges that come with entrepreneurship. This experience fuels my passion for helping small business owners navigate the complexities of marketing, allowing them to focus on what they do best.
From brand storytelling and digital strategy to social media management and content creation, I craft tailored solutions that elevate your brand’s presence and connect you with the right audience. Thrive Marketing isn’t just about promoting businesses; it’s about building lasting relationships and ensuring your business thrives.

About the Owner
I’m Laura Criss, the founder of Thrive Marketing. With a strong background in sales and a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Marketing, I have a passion for helping businesses get organized and grow. I love finding creative solutions that make marketing both effective and manageable, giving business owners the freedom to focus on their passion.
Beyond my work, I love being involved in my community. I co-founded Watson the Therapy Dog, serve as Vice President of Wenatchee Blue Family, and volunteer with Chelan County Search & Rescue.
Family is the core of everything I do. I am dedicated to building a life full of love, service, and adventure. As a mom of three, I’m fortunate to have my “little assistants” by my side, making this business a true family endeavor. My mission is to help businesses not just survive but truly thrive— because when businesses grow, communities flourish.
