Meet Our Founder
Circa 2015 I began my social media marketing journey working in a corporate marketing position and a large Resort Casino. This was back when social media was just taking off and businesses were beginning to realize they needed to have a strong presence. This was a great learning stage for me as I developed a strategy for them, got to test out many ideas, found my eye for creating creative content, and spent more time than I would like to admit on engagement and growing their accounts.
Since then, I went on to work as a Marketing Manager for another large hotel in the area for another couple of years. While there, I was being approached by other businesses in the area seeking my expertise, and after some time working on these different accounts I decided to take the leap to freelance.
​
After a year of freelancing, I found I was growing rapidly so I hired my first employee and officially started Honeypot Social in 2020. Since beginning this journey, I have had the opportunity to work with over 70 clients, industries ranging from boutiques and restaurants to country clubs and full-on city districts, and our team has grown to 6 incredible women (including myself)!
​
I've since learned A LOT along the way. I've learned a lot about what does and doesn't work when it comes to social media marketing, I've had my share of wins and losses, I have encountered challenges growing and building a thriving culture... but most importantly all of that experience has led me right here, talking to you! Something must have led you here as well. For that, I am grateful our paths have crossed!
​
xo, Ash
