who we are
We are a women-led partnership founded in the Queen City, Charlotte NC. Our roots are in the south, but our work and client relationships have taken us across the country. We work hard and we treat your business like our own. You will feel our passion in everything we do.
Our team is connected by experience, by friendship, and by a passion for what we do. We are connected to problem-solving, to curating the best marketing strategies, to transparent and honest communication, to giving back to our community, to paying it forward through mentorship, and to finding the fun in everything we do

The story behind our partnership
In 2023, we stepped away from successful careers in media sales and stepped out together to fulfill a dream of starting our own advertising agency. During our 20+ years working together, we developed a deep connection through our mutual dedication to our clients, similarity in style, like-mindedness, and determination to learn, grow, and achieve. Our team is passionate about doing great work, being authentic and transparent, and creating solid relationships.
Inspired by the connection found in nature, we based our logo on the hexagon, one of the strongest shapes in nature. It is a remarkable example of nature’s determination, efficiency, and optimization. Like a honeycomb comprised of hexagons, our team is stronger together, and we encourage each other to reach new levels. We want to stay curious, learning new ways to keep our clients at the forefront of marketing their brands.

I’m no newbie to the marketing world, but my curiosity keeps me on the hunt for new challenges. You’ll always find at least 3 drinks on my desk. Cat Mom. Boy Mom. Tar Heel. Devours podcasts, charcuterie and any chance at live music. Always innovating and experimenting. Problem solver. Definitely the crier in the group. Chronically caffeinated. Eternal perfectionist. I will always treat your business like it’s my own.

I love getting to know you as much as your business. A natural fixer and problem solver, finding solutions is my superpower. A good listener and a storyteller at heart. Universal mom with Tide pen in hand. Herder of cats at work and dogs at home. A girl mom, Wordle savant, and sports fan that bleeds Carolina Blue. Faith, hope, and love keep my glass half full. Allow me to put my digital, broadcast, and agency experience to work for you. Let’s connect!
