Elyse Notarianni

Founder & CEO

Elyse Notarianni comes from a long line of small (and not so small) business owners – and oddly enough, not one person warned her against following the same path.

Elyse founded Townie Creative as a way to blend her unique background in digital & print marketing, journalism and social media management into one mission.

A writer at heart, Elyse specializes in ghostwriting, healthcare and advertorials. Elyse is *technically* a New York Times Best Selling Author of "Channel Kindness," coauthored with Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation and other Channel Kindness Reporters, and gained full Congressional Press Access at 22-years-old as an editor on Capitol Hill. Townie Creative would not exist if it were not for her experience working with SJ Magazine, ESF Camps and The U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
