Marketing Operations for Small Brands With a Big Vision
Rishari is a growth marketing studio helping small and midsize businesses punch above their weight. We bring together strategy, automation, campaigns, creative, and event experiences to drive meaningful connections and growth.
What We Believe.
Clear > Clever
We believe in clarity, not confusion. Our clients don’t need jargon—they need partners who understand their business and deliver results.
Bold Is the New Standard
Whether it’s a campaign, a brand experience, or a website—if it doesn’t make your customers stop and care, it’s not ready. We build with edge and purpose.
We’re not here for vanity metrics or vague ideas. We build what works, optimize fast, and stay laser-focused on your goals.
Execution Over Ego
Bias for Innovation and Action
We love working with clients who aren't afraid to think bigger, step outside the typical, and trust us to create experiences that are outside the status quo.
The Origin Story
Corey Washington founded Rishari in 2021 with a vision to give small and midsize businesses access to bold, performance-driven marketing capabilities without the overhead of building a full in-house team. With a background spanning enterprise marketing software, startups, agencies, and healthcare tech, Corey has succeeded both as a solo marketer and as the leader of high-performing onshore and offshore teams. He has led vendor relationships, managed cross-functional programs, delivered campaign execution, and driven high-stakes go-to-market launches where agility and resourcefulness made all the difference.
Along the way, through countless conversations with small business owners about their marketing challenges, Corey uncovered a deeper truth - most small business owners can’t do it all. They want a reliable marketing team and trusted support, but juggling growth while managing daily operations is overwhelming. Rishari was built to close that gap, delivering expert execution and bold strategy without the full-time burden.
And the name? Rishari is a tribute to Corey’s roots - an homage to his parents, Richard and Shari, who sparked his creative drive and commitment to helping others. The brand reflects a vision and a legacy of purpose-driven support and bold creativity.
