About Ashley
Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here.
I empower small businesses to tell their brand story through digital marketing efforts like SEO, content creation, & social media.
Professional Background
My marketing experience spans marketing project management and strategy, social media/digital marketing, content creation, branding, SEO/SEM, web optimization, and analytics.
Content Building: I’ve directed strategic, high-impact digital and print marketing initiatives that drive engagement, marketplace visibility, and ROI.
Culture-Building: I’ve built and directed cohesive teams and collaborated with top decision-makers to drive core business goals. I’m also fascinated by trends in the future of work (particularly for millennials), and how companies can increase employee productivity, give back with corporate responsibility programs and create meaningful work through career growth, inspiring colleagues, and D&I initiatives.
Community-Building: I love people, and I love building a community, both within an organization and beyond. I’m a freelance and contributing writer for local publications in Cherokee County, where I write hyper-local content about marketing, culture-building and leadership, and local community events.

Personal Background
Oh, when she’s angry, she is keen and shrewd!
She was a vixen when she went to school.
And though she be but little, she is fierce.
Act 3, Scene 2, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
I started a blog in college as an outlet to get whatever was swirling around in my brain out and on a page. (Or a screen, as it were.) Shortly thereafter, I discovered that I love connecting brands with their audience through the art of storytelling, which has been my calling for the last fifteen years.
I married my best friend and we live in Woodstock, GA (our beautiful, award-winning city unexpected!) with our two boys. I’m told I have a fierce mouth and a kind heart—neither of which you’ll find is untrue.
Ask Me About:
– The impact of your local arts organization and why it’s important
– How to get involved in your local community and why you’ll love it.
– Where to find the most mouthwatering local Juicy IPAs
– The best piazzas to explore in Florence, Italy
– Backyard bird songs: “Is it a warbeler or a wren?”
I’ve never met a personality test I didn’t like.
Here are a few of my results.

Gallup Strengths Finder: Discipline, Empathy, Input, Intellection, Developer
GiANT Five Voices: Nurturer
Enneagram: 1, 2, 3
