Who she is
Communications · brand · PR
Elisa is a communications leader and Forbes Communications Council member in New York, focused on brand, PR, and helping a message land. This is a peer page, not a sales page. Comms people sit next to a lot of brands and founders, and SideGuy is the un-fun tech layer that lives behind the brand, so this is mostly about keeping good people in the network.
What a SideGuy does for Elisa
Where a SideGuy fits next to great comms
- The tech behind the brand — Great comms makes a brand land; SideGuy makes sure the site, the findability, and the back-office actually hold up behind it. If a brand or founder in your orbit ever needs that layer, here is the no-BS option.
- A referral, no funnel — If a small team you work with needs sites that rank, automation, or compliance handled, point them my way. First hour free.
- Notes on the operator side — Always happy to compare notes on how the tech and the story fit together.
Elisa makes brands land; SideGuy makes the tech behind the brand actually hold up. Two ends of the same job. No pitch, just keeping good people in the network and a door open if a team you work with ever needs the tech layer.
