Your Strategist

At The College Campaign, we operate as a small marketing agency with a big vision. Our founder, Marisa Langford, saw a gap in the market for affordable marketing services for teens who want to attend college and parents who are looking for guidance and education on the process and how to help their kids stand out. According to the Common App, through March 2025, the Common App saw a 6% rise in total application volume, totalling 8.54 million applications compared to the previous year.   

Marisa Langford is a dynamic entrepreneur, marketing strategist, and visionary leader with an innate ability to transform ideas into thriving brands. With a deep understanding of consumer behavior and a passion for storytelling, she has built a reputation for creating innovative marketing strategies that drive engagement, build communities, and generate results.

Marisa’s expertise spans multiple industries, from consumer packaged goods to lifestyle brands and education. Her experience with GoGo squeeZ, a globally recognized brand, gave her firsthand insight into building brand loyalty, executing experiential marketing campaigns, and connecting with families on a personal level. She mastered the art of creating campaigns that don’t just sell products—they create movements.

Her entrepreneurial journey is just as impressive. As the founder of Tampa Mama, she cultivated a loyal following by delivering valuable content and positioning herself as a trusted resource for parents. 

Now, she’s expanding her impact by helping families navigate the challenges of parenting, homeschooling, and career reinvention through her latest blog.

Marisa’s newest venture—helping teens build their college resumes through leadership and passion-driven community projects—showcases her ability to identify market needs and develop scalable solutions. She’s crafting a business model that blends education, empowerment, and entrepreneurship, making it easier for students to stand out in college applications while learning real-world leadership skills.  

Built on her passion for helping others and driving community impact through the future leaders of tomorrow, she finds joy in helping other parents learn the ever-evolving college admissions landscape. 

Marisa is a wife and mother to four children.  Her oldest two children attend the University of Florida. Her high schooler attends public school and also dual enrolls at the local community college and her youngest is thriving as an FLVS FLEX student with a goal of completing her AA at the age of 18.

Marisa volunteers with Girls Scouts of West Central Florida, Breakthrough Type 1, FFA, 4-H and Special Olympics in Florida. Her family can often be found enjoying a local market, cooking dinner together or at a barn with their animals.
