Cassie Temple
Owner
Cassie started Beyond Marketing in 2019. You can read a little bit about her start at the bottom of this page. Cassie has a marketing degree, spent 7 years in media, and even when she left the industry briefly, she was pulled back by her love of helping businesses navigate their marketing needs. She truly thrives on customizing marketing plans for each individual client as no business's marketing needs are exactly the same as another.
Cassie is a Mom and wife first, business owner and community-involved individual second. When she isn't working on one of her two businesses, she is hanging out with her husband, Daniel and 2 year old daughter, Finley and their pup, Kash. Cassie and her family are moving to Detroit Lakes this year as Daniel takes the leap into Cassie's Dad's family business, as the new General Manager of the Detroit Lakes Ace Hardware.
Cassie is also the Associate Director of the Executive Club of Fargo Moorhead and on the Board of Directors for the Moorhead Business Association.

What We’re All About
Hello!
​
I'm Cassie Temple. I am the owner of Beyond Marketing.
I'm going to tell you a little story about how Beyond Marketing came to be.
It was, quite literally, an accident.
In 2019 I was at Thai Orchid (YUM, right?) in Moorhead with a committee for the
Moorhead Businesses Association.
I was already managing my friend's Facebook business page for fun + a
little creativity that I had been missing.
​
A friend of mine was at this same meeting (Hi, Cindy) and we got talking about what I
was doing for my other friend's Facebook page. She asked if I would meet with one of her
company's board of directors to take on their social media.
​
I almost said no. Imposter syndrome was alive + well. But, I enjoy torture so I said
yes and put myself in a very uncomfortable situation.
​
I've been handling their socials for 2+ years and it's the best decision
(in business, my husband and daughter are pretty cool)
I've made.
​
From there, two clients turned to four. Then Covid hit and four turned to seven.
And it hasn't stopped...
​
I'm so grateful to my clients for trusting me to tell their stories, show off their brand,
and display their work.
​
I'm biased - but I have the absolute best clients.
​
I am so glad you're here and I'm looking forward to meeting you!
