Unlocking Your Brand’s Magic is Our Passion.
We’ll Be a Good Fit If…
You want your company to look incredible and are tired of spinning your
wheels DIYing your branding.
You know what your organization stands for, but are struggling to translate that into meaningful messaging to articulate your core values.
You are just starting your business, and you want someone who has your back to advise on your communications strategy to help you achieve your goals.
Our
Core Values
Your Story Matters
We care about your business just as much as you do, and believe why you do it is just as important as what you do. You are the most powerful asset you have in standing out from the competition, and together we will consciously craft a narrative that gets to the heart of your brand.
Cohesion is Key
Cohesion between your graphic elements and your written message is what gets us out of bed in the morning and is our secret weapon to ensuring your brand gets noticed. We help you synthesize fragmented ideas and distill them down to a unified presence.
Cultivating Authenticity
Your business is unique, your work is valuable, and you deserve to showcase your brand in a way that makes you comfortable and excites you! Our approach strips away overwhelming jargon, leaves fake FOMO at the door, and treats you like a friend right from the start.
When life gives you lemons, chase your dreams.
Or at least that is what I told myself when I took the plunge and decided to start Poppy Marie & Co. After graduating from Savannah College of Art and Design, I spent over a decade in the live entertainment industry creating ad campaigns, developing communications strategies, and planning events for everything from small emerging bands to the most famous Mouse on the planet. My work took me from Peoria to Prague, and I loved it!
Then COVID-19 struck. Like so many in my industry, I found my whole world had suddenly become uncertain, and my place in it was no longer secure. Well, those who know me well know I'm nothing if not a planner (for The Baby-Sitters Club fans out there, I'm totally a Kristy). I quickly began making plans to find a new job, move if I had to, anything I thought I could make happen to get back my life. Then, I took a breath. This was not a "normal" problem, and my go-to gusto alone was not going to get me through.
So what's a girl to do?
I decided to build on that breath and do something I always wanted to do — enroll in yoga teacher training. From the confines of my apartment, I connected with people all over the planet, all working toward a common goal and in doing so I developed an understanding of subtle communication I never dreamed of before. The art of connecting breath to movement or a mudra to a simple chant, each gesture working together to provide direction and clarity, opened my mind to new possibilities. To say it was eye-opening is an understatement.
Somewhere along my yoga journey, a thought kept creeping into my head. If something as simple as breathing and moving could be so powerful, why do many places create their visuals and their messaging in silos? They are all part of the same brand body, yet both sides rarely meet until they are finished. After a few fits and starts, a consulting gig or two and, yes, more yoga, the idea for Poppy Marie & Co. took shape.
Now I know what you are thinking - Stephanie, this sounds like some hippie-dippie, touchy-feely, walk-into-the-sunset-and-manifest-your-dreams poppycock. To an extent maybe it is, but gosh darn it, Barbie, it got me fired up! Poppy Marie & Co. channels that fire into helping you look and sound like the rockstar you are, so you are confident that no matter where your business journey takes you, your entire brand's needs are met.
