Cesia Ubau
Director of Marketing & Communications — Crafting stories, building community, and amplifying every moment.
Crafting stories, building community, and amplifying every moment.
Marketing as an act of belonging.
Cesia Ubau is a dynamic marketing and communications professional whose roots trace back to Nicaragua, where she earned her degree in Communications. That foundation — built on storytelling, media strategy, and cross-cultural fluency — has shaped her into the creative force behind San Diego Elites' brand presence.
As the Director of Marketing & Communications, Cesia orchestrates everything from social media campaigns and email marketing to event promotion, brand partnerships, and community engagement. Her bilingual fluency in English and Spanish allows her to connect with San Diego's diverse professional community in a way that feels personal and authentic.
With a sharp eye for design and an instinct for what resonates, Cesia transforms events into movements. She crafts the narratives that keep members engaged between events, builds anticipation for upcoming gatherings, and ensures every touchpoint — from an Instagram story to an email invitation — reflects the elegance and energy of the San Diego Elites brand.
Beyond the strategy, Cesia is a connector at heart. She believes that great marketing isn't about selling — it's about creating moments that make people feel they belong. That philosophy drives every campaign she creates and every community she builds.
An Independent Practice Built On Craft & Care
Hi, I'm Cesia. I trained as a communicator in Nicaragua — which is a fancy way of saying I learned early that language matters and the best brands sound like people you'd actually want to know. Today I run a small, focused consultancy from San Diego, working with founders and teams who care about craft and community.
My work lives at the intersection of strategy, story, and design. One week I'm shaping a brand voice from scratch; the next I'm writing a launch campaign, scripting an onboarding sequence, or building the comms playbook that'll carry a team through a big moment.
- Independent consultancy — you work with me, not a department
- Native bilingual — English and Spanish, equally at home
- Systems that outlast the engagement — not just deliverables
- Eight years in brand, comms, and community building
I Help Brands Show Up Like They Mean It
Branding isn't a logo and communications isn't an Instagram grid. Real brand work is about clarity — who you are, who you're for, and how you sound when you open your mouth. Once we get that right, everything downstream gets easier.
I work best with founders and leaders who want a true partner, not a vendor. The best engagements feel like hiring a senior team member who reads everything, says what they mean, and leaves you with systems your team can run on their own.
