About CSD Marketing & Consulting
CSD Marketing & Consulting is a San Diego–based marketing and strategy firm supporting small businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations with practical, sustainable marketing solutions.
Founded by Courtney Dade, CSD specializes in helping organizations strengthen their online presence, clarify their messaging, and build systems that support long-term growth — without overwhelming already-lean teams.
Our work ranges from digital strategy and website development to email marketing, local visibility, and operational support. We believe marketing should feel accessible, aligned, and realistic for the stage a business is in.
CSD Marketing is also the creator of CSD Connect, a platform designed to help businesses manage their digital presence with the right level of support, tools, and education.
We partner with organizations that care about impact, clarity, and community.
