Hi, I’m Tara-Marie Lynch Bares.
I’ve been shaped by many roles: mom, wife, CMO, volunteer, chairman. Together, they led me to one that I hold with great pride: Founder of Nativve.
WHO
Strategist by trade. Designer by instinct. Relentless doer by nature.
I grew up in the heart of Litchfield County. Raised by an artist and a businessman, I’ve always lived at the intersection of creativity and discipline.
On paper, my background spans economics, marketing, and public policy. But in practice, I’ve never fit neatly into one box.
I’ve built fluency across branding, design, data, and the media ecosystems that bring it all to life — aligning teams, navigating an evolving digital landscape, and driving meaningful growth over nearly two decades.
In my local community and beyond, I find purpose in harnessing these skills to help businesses, artists, and organizations turn ambition into reality.
Outside of work, I’m a mom to two fun-loving boys and wife to an engineer who surfs around the world. We travel often and embrace the adventure along the way.
WHY
I built Nativve for brands that need a versatile, entrepreneurial marketing partner — not an agency, but a force multiplier.
We don’t do “off the shelf.” We embed into your vision. We imagine. We collaborate. We create.
Our mission is to help organizations market their brand in a way that feels authentic, intuitive, and nativve.
After all, the most effective marketing doesn’t interrupt. It belongs.
Consider us a shop for brands that crave intentional, purpose-driven marketing support. Not just a consultancy.
Whether you’re just getting started or entering your next phase of growth, we’re excited to help you grow — nativvely.
