At some point in our work lives, we’ve all
experienced working for a big company.

Whatever help we needed was available in-house. There was a Marketing Department, a Finance Department and lots of administrative support to help us get done the work we did every day.

Today, that’s all changed.

When you work on your own – as a solo professional or owner of a small business, it’s up to you to keep the business running smoothly, in addition to doing the marketing.
It can be frustrating and time-consuming.
Even when it does go well, it keeps you from the work you’d rather be doing.

That’s where I come in.

I help you to strategize and develop your marketing plan,
and create the process you need to implement it.
All so you can focus on your clients!

Marie Patel as Girl On The Ball Solutions

(Yes, I literally sit at my desk on a ball!)

It keeps me sharp and figuratively “on the ball”
all day long.

Hi, I’m Marie…
The Girl On the Ball


I help small business owners be on the ball with their marketing.
From developing a marketing strategy to planning the tactics and/or content, to implementing the process, we make things happen!

Working with me is like having your very own marketing team!


For a little over twenty-five years (but who’s counting?), I have worked with large and small companies in operations, administration and have lots of marketing experience, especially in professional services marketing.

I live, work, and golf in Connecticut with my husband,
two very tall sons, one blue-eyed husky and
a huge, rescued yellow lab.

“I worked with Marie to put on a holiday zoom party for our women’s empowerment group. You would think just doing a party online would be easy–just log on to Zoom and play a few games but it is not as easy as it sounds. There are many moving parts, just like an in-person party but Marie really helped us make the process smooth. She had great ideas to make the Zoom party feel like a real party, we all had such a great time with the variety of games. She also gave a short presentation about new ways to use Zoom for business – which had some great takeaways! I would recommend Marie if you are looking to amp up personal and business Zoom lives! Thanks Marie for all your help!”

“Marie was an incredibly valuable resource in creating my newsletter. She created a professional, on-brand and readable newsletter that got a lot of attention. It would have taken me hours and hours to create it and Marie did it in a flash. And she is such a pleasure to work with!“
