GoFish Communications was started as a side business by Laurie McDowell in 2000. Small marketing projects became comprehensive marketing advisory and execution services, and in 2017 we became the full time business consulting group we are today. We're proud and happy to help small business owners, consultants, and entrepreneurs be as efficient and effective as possible.
Helping business owners breathe easier and see results is what brings us to work every day. Today we work with a range of businesses, and our collaborative of marketing talent and business advisors makes it possible to answer virtually any small business question thrown our direction. Challenge us.

I've spent 25+ years in marketing and business strategy, building relationships and learning a lot. The last several years I've entirely focused on small businesses, because that's where I do my best work. My clients are talented, motivated people who want a smart outside perspective and someone who will hold them accountable. If that sounds like you, let's talk!

LAURIE FISH McDOWELL, M.A.

Almost 10 years ago she took a side-hustle to full-time so she could help as many small businesses as possible. Since then she has worked with owners and senior leadership throughout the Boston area to be more efficient and profitable, and to achieve their goals.

Who We Work With
|
"Laurie came in and immediately was able to identify I was in over my head and talk me through prioritizing my immediate needs for my business. Aside from helping my business grow, she had helped me grow as a professional. She knew my potential before I did and successfully challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone." - JENNIFER FREEDMAN Groom with Me
