Melissa Buening

Hi! I'm Melissa Buening, Founder and Head Unicorn of Rainbows and Unicorns Agency

Over 10 years of working with over 40 startups has taught me how marketing and sales teams need to work together to achieve the goals of a business, how to put the processes and tools in place that marketing and sales teams need in order to transfer knowledge and information, and how to execute the marketing and sales initiatives (oftentimes being the sole/first marketer and/or salesperson within a startup). I'm a strategist, planner, and doer.
