Connection Attention
New Shapes is a small but mighty creative studio founded by Ellen Brown (hey! 👋🏻). I partner with small businesses, DTC e-commerce brands, arts and culture nonprofits, and purpose-driven startups to build websites and marketing strategies that drive revenue while deepening relationships. I believe in telling meaningful stories and creating delightful touch-points over flashy formulas and Insta-hacks. If you’re ready to go deeper and cultivate sustainable organic growth, I’d love to help.
I’m Ellen, a writer and marketing strategist based in Olympia, WA.
I like to work in that magical space between my left and right brain where strategy meets creativity, spreadsheets mingle with ✨feelings✨, and visions become reality. Meet you there?

Let’s make new shapes.
Cookie cutters are out.
The old ways aren’t working anymore. All of that template-y, super-polished, beige content isn’t stopping anyone’s scroll. Visibility and engagement are down. The shifting sands of social media have left marketers in uncharted territory.
The good news is: we get to invent new ways! Now’s the time to get innovative, maybe even a little weird, with both the medium and the message. I’m here to help you break the mold, right-size your efforts, and think outside the grid.
Past Work
Client: Klum House
Role: Director of Marketing
Dates: 2016-2023
Klum House is a Portland, Oregon-based e-commerce company with creativity, education, and empowerment at its core. I helped build the brand from the ground up and, in the process, learned TONS about small business, brand copywriting, and creative strategy. It’s where I cut my teeth and discovered my superpowers as a strategist and communicator.
