We’re a Lakes Region-based marketing studio built to support local, family-owned, and independently run businesses with simple, honest online marketing.
We grew up in New Hampshire surrounded by the people and places that make the Lakes Region what it is. Emily grew up in Moultonborough, while Jessica grew up in Wolfeboro — spending summers on the water and winters at Abenaki.
After spending time away for school and work, we both felt drawn back home. We wanted to take what we learned and put it toward something that supports the businesses and communities that raised us.
We met through mutual friends during Emily’s senior year at Plymouth State University and quickly realized we shared the same goal: to build something meaningful here in New Hampshire and help local businesses grow without losing what makes them special.
Helping Local Businesses Show Up Online – Simply
Many small, family-owned businesses know social media matters, but don’t have the time or interest to keep up with it. We step in to handle the online side of things clearly and consistently, without changing who you are.`
Meet The Founders
Northaus is run by two local founders who work hands-on with every client. When you work with us, you’re working directly with the people creating your content and guiding your strategy.

The name Northaus reflects both where we’re from and how we work. “North” is a nod to living and working here in New Hampshire, while “haus” comes from the German word for “house” — a welcoming place for support, collaboration, and community.
We’ve worked with some of the best businesses.
FAQs
How does working with Northaus start?
We start with a conversation. We’ll ask a few questions about your business, what you’re currently doing online, and what feels frustrating or confusing. From there, we recommend something simple that actually makes sense for you.
Do I need to understand social media to work with you?
Not at all. Many of our clients don’t enjoy social media or don’t have time for it — that’s why we’re here. We explain things clearly and handle the posting so you don’t have to.
How does pricing work?
We don’t use one-size-fits-all packages. Every business is a little different, so pricing is based on your needs. After the initial consultation, we’ll recommend a clear, straightforward option that aligns with your business and your budget.
