We Help Good Businesses Get Clear, Get Found, and Get Chosen.
Built for Independent Business Owners Who Need Marketing That Makes Sense
Moxie is an Inland Empire agency in the truest sense. Not based here. From here.
Stephanie Munson brings nearly two decades of experience across graphic design and marketing. She founded Moxie Creative Solutions in 2018 after seeing the same problem everywhere: good businesses doing excellent work, completely invisible online.
That design foundation shapes how Moxie operates. Most marketing agencies can't touch your visual identity. Most design shops can't build a search strategy. Moxie does both.
Stephanie also founded Women in Business Connections (WIBC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit networking community serving women entrepreneurs across the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley, now in its fifth year.
We are a Certified Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) marketing agency based in Upland, California. We help independent business owners across the IE get clear on their message, show up in local search, and turn visibility into real leads.
Marketing gets you seen. Branding gets you chosen. Moxie does both.
Before the Sports Car, You Need the System.
When people start a business, it’s easy to picture the exciting part first.
The money.
The freedom.
The dream clients.
The “look at me, I built this” moment.
And yes, that part matters. That’s the dream.
But building a business also comes with the less glamorous stuff: getting organized, being clear about what you offer, showing up online, making sure people can find you, and keeping your marketing from turning into a junk drawer with a logo.
It’s a little like a teenager thinking they’re getting a sports car the second they get their license.
Cute. Ambitious. Slightly terrifying.
But first, they have to study for the test, pass the test, get a job, buy insurance, pay for gas, and learn that cars need maintenance.
Business works the same way.
Moxie Creative Solutions is not here to sell you the shiny sports car version of marketing. We’re here to help you get organized, visible, and functioning so your business can actually move.
We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel.
We help make your story clear, your website useful, your local visibility stronger, and your business easier to find online.
Because good marketing is not about looking busy.
It’s about making it easier for the right people to understand what you do, trust you, and choose you.
How we work
The things we won't
compromise on.
These aren't slogans. They're the decisions we make every single day: what we say yes to, and what we don't.
01 / Clarity
Clear Language Over Buzzwords
We don't hide behind marketing jargon, complex metrics, or "proprietary algorithms." If we can't explain a strategy to you in plain English in two minutes, we don't do it.
02 / Community
Local First, Always
We live here, shop here, and know the Inland Empire landscape. We don't use cookie-cutter nationwide templates, because Upland isn't Miami, and Claremont isn't New York.
03 / Ownership
Autonomy, Not Dependency
Some agencies hold your website hostage so you're forced to pay them forever. We build systems that empower you. When your site launches, you own every single pixel and password.
04 / Results
Data Over Hype
We don't ask you to "trust the process" blindly. We measure success by tangible things that matter to a business owner: phones ringing, contact forms filled, local search rankings climbing.
A Marketing Agency That Identifies What's Actually Blocking Your Growth
Most agencies hand you a menu of services. We start by finding the real problem.
We start with a 30-minute diagnostic, not a sales pitch.
Nobody understands what you do (unclear positioning)
Nobody can find you (zero local search visibility)
Your website doesn't convert visitors (traffic without inquiries)
We'll tell you what's holding you back, what to fix first, and how we'll measure success. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
No 6-month retainers before you see results.
No "trust the process" without proof.

Who We’re a Good Fit For
We work with solo entrepreneurs and small business owners who:
Get referrals but can’t rely on them alone
Have a website that looks fine but doesn’t convert
Feel unsure what to post, say, or focus on
Are tired of doing “all the things” with little return
Want clarity without hiring a big agency
If you want simple, honest marketing that respects your time and budget, you’ll feel at home here.
Marketing Doesn't Need to be Complicated
You don’t need more tactics.
You need clarity.
We help independent business owners and local businesses in the Inland Empire simplify their messaging, strengthen their visibility, and attract better-fit clients.
This isn’t a sales call.
It’s a strategy conversation.
