Hello!
Im Ashley, or ‘Ash’. While hailing from Michigan, I now live in Alaska full-time.
Starting from the top…
As a teen I worked at a kayak and ski shop and hopped planes to where ever I could on the weekends. That not only furthered my love for movement, travel, and the outdoors, but it simultaneously connected me to marketing. I was infatuated by the shop marketing managers work. He was extremely connected to the community, provided free classes, was always giving back, seemed to emulate the value of good business, and of course…got to ski a healthy amount of days. The shop also sourced responsibly and then turned profits into education and community funding which worked wonders! That’s when I decided that I wanted to join the good fight in helping great businesses thrive. :)
From there I moved to Colorado, California, Montana, Washington, Oregon, West Virginia, and Texas, all while marketing and guiding. I began using my marketing degree and experience to help all different types of businesses (ski shops in Colorado, surf shops in California, photographers in Montana and West Virginia, etc). I then dove into the agency world and started working for a large digital marketing agency that was on the forefront of technology, marketing techniques, data, and AI. With years of experience working for independent businesses alongside top-of-the-line agency work, I’ve compiled a vast book of experience to pull from and love sharing it. Alongside my marketing career, I absolutely love engaging with productions, either on the production side or on the talent side. You can find more info on the respective pages.
When Im not working you can find me split-boarding, flying, mountain biking, fishing, and making craft cocktails. Things don’t slow down around here. ;)
