A Bissel means "a little" in Yiddish, and that's where our story begins.
Founded by Neal Strauss, A Bissel Creative started with a simple idea: a little creativity can make a meaningful difference. What began as a social media marketing consultancy has grown into a strategic marketing practice helping businesses and nonprofits make smarter decisions, build stronger relationships, and connect their marketing efforts to their larger goals.
Today, we bring a decade of experience, a human-centered approach, and a genuine curiosity about the people and organizations we work with. We believe the best partnerships start with a conversation.
Meet Neal Strauss
Neal founded A Bissel Creative with a belief that marketing should be about more than getting attention. It should help organizations build relationships, share meaningful stories, and make a lasting impact. Over nearly a decade, Neal has worked with more than 160 brands across 12 countries, helping businesses and nonprofits navigate marketing challenges, strengthen their strategies, and connect with the people they serve.
His approach combines curiosity, creativity, and practical thinking. He enjoys asking questions, understanding what makes an organization unique, and helping leaders find a clearer path forward. For Neal, the best part of consulting is getting to know the people behind the work and helping them accomplish something meaningful.
Good Marketing Starts with People
We believe the strongest marketing strategies start with listening. Before recommending a campaign, choosing a platform, or developing a plan, we take the time to understand your organization, the people you serve, and what success looks like to you.
Our approach is built around three principles:
Human-Centered
We focus on the people behind every business, organization, and audience. Strong relationships are at the heart of meaningful marketing.
Data-Informed
We use data to understand what's working, ask better questions, and make decisions with greater confidence.
Story-Driven
Every organization has a story worth sharing. We help connect that story to the right people in ways that feel authentic and meaningful. Together, these principles guide how we approach every conversation, recommendation, and partnership.
