Marketing built around people, not just platforms.

You don't need another agency checking boxes or chasing trends.

You need a team that understands your business, knows your community, and creates marketing that actually connects with the people you want to reach.

Our Philoshophy

Marketing is more than content.

Every post, partnership, email, event, review, and customer interaction shapes how people experience your brand. We look beyond individual tactics to create a connected marketing ecosystem that works together to grow your business.

Community creates connection.

The strongest brands don't just show up online. They show up in their communities. We help businesses build meaningful relationships through local partnerships, events, collaborations, and experiences that turn audiences into advocates.

Real people drive real results.

Behind every strategy, campaign, and piece of content is a team of humans who care deeply about your success. We believe the best marketing happens when talented people, thoughtful strategy, and the right technology work together.

Your business deserves a marketing partner.

No two businesses are the same, and your marketing team shouldn't be either. We bring together the right mix of strategists, creators, and specialists to support your goals today and evolve with you as you grow.

Results matter.

Creativity is important, but impact is what counts. Whether it's stronger brand awareness, deeper community engagement, or measurable business growth, everything we do is designed to move your business forward.

Ashley Polan

CEO/Founder

I'm just out here trying to make the world a little more beautiful, whether that's creating marketing campaigns that convert (I've been doing it for 12+ years), diving into my next home project (sorry, babe!), or raising two tiny humans.

 

I'm also a recovering perfectionist, so if I'm not fine-tuning a client strategy, you'll probably find me on the golf course working toward a single-digit handicap.

Alex Caceres

Social Media Strategist

I'm a social media strategist with 8+ years of experience who genuinely loves the internet... which either makes me very good at my job or a little unwell (probably both). I specialize in turning data into strategy and strategy into content that actually performs. When I'm not obsessing over analytics or diving into a new dashboard, I'm deep in a new DIY project, on a flight somewhere, or counting down to my next theme park visit. Chronically online, chronically on the go, and here to make your brand impossible to scroll past.

Madison Gorton

Social Media Manager

Hi, I'm Madison, Social Media Manager here at Honeypot!
I grew up in the digital age and it's been fascinating to watch social media transform from a place to share photos with friends into a platform where businesses are discovered, communities come together and real connections are made. That evolution is what drew me to this work and what keeps me passionate about it.

When I'm not behind a screen you can find me teaching heated mat Pilates, skiing, or out walking my dog in the Reno/Tahoe area. If there's a trail nearby, we're probably on it.

Josey Steinecke

Social Media Coordinator

I’ve always loved social media and have always been the friend in the group who is creating content to capture both the big memories and the little moments. Before graduating college, I knew exactly what I wanted to do after graduation, and this is it. I love being part of helping local businesses grow through social media. There’s something so special about creating content, building a brand’s online presence, and seeing our work make a real impact. Watching our clients succeed and knowing we played a small part in that is one of my favorite parts!


When I’m not creating content, you’ll usually find me coaching cheerleading, which is one of my biggest passions. I also love spending time with family and friends, whether that’s at the lake, camping, or just making memories together.

Celeste Grajeda-Rojas

Director of Client Success

I got my start in social media at 16, and 10 years later, I still love helping businesses grow, build communities, and show up online in a way that feels authentic. There’s nothing better than seeing a great idea turn into content that gets real results.


Outside of work, I’m usually reading a book, spending time with my 2 dogs that I consider my children, or claiming a spot by the pool the second the weather cooperates. At any given time, I’m likely counting down the days until my next music festival.

Emma Hughes

Social Media Manager

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work in a creative field. I've always loved visual storytelling, and social media has been the perfect outlet for me.

I've been working in social media marketing for over 6 years, and I've truly loved every minute of it. I have a passion for creating beautiful content that converts. Throughout my career, I've worked with brands across beauty, fitness, weddings, product-based businesses, personal branding, and more, giving me experience across a wide range of industries and audiences.

When I'm off the clock, I'm probably thrifting for a hidden gem, playing tennis, or hanging out with my pup and family!

Augusta Ward

Social Media Manager

When I was 12, I would spend my afternoons filming and editing gymnastics videos in my backyard and posting them to Instagram. This is what kickstarted my love for social media. I’ve since retired from gymnastics, and now, I get to combine my passion for content creation and storytelling in a way that drives real business results.

I grew up in the Reno/Tahoe region, and It is so special to help local businesses thrive in a place that means so much to me. When I am not behind a screen editing content, you can find me trying to top out a bouldering project or beat my top speed record down my favorite ski runs.

Alivia Chedwick

Creative Assistant

I have always been a very creative person, whether it’s crafting personalized gifts for people or decorating a new space, I love finding ways to take something ordinary and transforming it into something that draws people in and brings them joy. I think that's why Honeypot felt like such a natural fit; it's storytelling through a screen. I'm currently studying Business and Marketing at UNR, and I am excited to keep growing my creative instinct.


Outside of work and school I’m happiest spending time with family and friends talking their ears off and making them laugh. I love baking, shopping, working out, and going up to Tahoe. When I manage to sit still, you can find me on the couch with my dog Winston watching reality TV.

Denver Miller

Branding + Web Design

Creativity isn’t what I do — it’s how I’m wired. I’ve spent 20+ years channeling that into brands for hospitality, entertainment, and lifestyle companies. What drives me is where strategy and artistic vision meet — the result, when it’s right, is a brand that’s impossible to ignore.

The other half of my creative life is music. I’ve been DJing and drumming since I was 13, and that obsession with records eventually became its own art practice — large-scale vinyl record portraits and installations shown in galleries across the U.S., including a solo exhibition at The Midway in San Francisco and a 2025 Burning Man Honoraria Grant.

Kaitlyn Quinlan

Social Media Manager

Growing up, I loved storytelling, you could always find me writing or reading. Fast forward to now I’ve spent 4+ years helping brands show up authentically online and tell stories worth following. There's something really satisfying about taking a client's vision and turning it into content that connects.

When I log off for the day you can usually find me outside: camping, hiking, and spending time with my dog and chickens. That, or I'm talking someone into grabbing coffee or going to happy hour with me.

Kaylee Anderson

Creative Specialist

Visual storytelling has been a passion of mine for 10+ years, ever since I spontaneously bought my first camera in high school. I spend my days bouncing between photography, videography, and graphic design, always finding ways to make the world more aesthetic.

I've got one of those creative brains that rarely turns off, but when I do step away from the screen, you’ll find me hanging out with my husband and trying to find room on the couch between our two Hawaiian rescue cats and one retired mama wiener dog.

Testimonials

"Highly recommend them to any brand that wants a partner, not just a service."

"We’ve been working with Honeypot since day one, dare I say MidTown might’ve been one of their first clients? Watching them grow alongside us has been incredible. When we started, our social media following was just a few thousand. Thanks to Ashley and her amazing team, we’re now at over 30k and still climbing every day.

What I love most about working with Honeypot is how personal and intentional they are. Ashley always makes time to meet with me, dive into the goals and brainstorm fun, creative ways to showcase MidTown. They truly understand how to tell our story and they make it look good while doing it.

Highly recommend them to any brand that wants a partner, not just a service."

MidTown District Executive Director
