Amanda Shilling

Amanda

Founder + CEO

I’m a risk taker, a magic maker and business shaker. My career is a wildly woven ball of branding and marketing strategy, writing, graphic design, event planning, media buying, public relations and beyond.

I’ve also had the privilege of working within and alongside organizations in an operational and development capacity, while gaining experience in human resources and management. This means I understand the value of a positive culture, fiscal responsibility and producing results.

I’m a branding bullet that has propelled businesses to the top in their industry. I’ve spearheaded efforts to put startups on the map, teamed up with authors to launch best-selling books and helped marketing departments become a rockstar resource for my clients.
