Ashley Holmes is my name and communication is my game. But really, I’m honored that you’re here and reading this. You did it! You started the business. You took that leap of faith. You put in countless hours of preparation (and lost countless hours of sleep) into what you have created, and my goal is to help you tell everyone about what you have to offer. Ashley Holmes Creative is here to partner with you and show off all of the unique and one-of-a-kind aspects of your business. Let me take social media, email newsletters, and website maintenance off of your plate so you can focus on what really matters.
If you are an established business that has a hand crafted brand and a loyal fan base, but need help breaking into social media and email marketing, I’m here to help. Trying to take on social media while also running the day-to-day of your business can be a daunting task. Don’t know where to start? Don’t know what or when to post? Want to expand your already successful business to reach more people? No need to stress or worry anymore, I’ve got it.
Background
I am an Oklahoma girl through and through. I was born in a small town outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma called Claremore, where my school mascot was a zebra and where I spent the first seventeen years of my life. After graduation, I left behind my zebra stripes so that I could move to Norman, be an Oklahoma Sooner, and pursue a degree at The University of Oklahoma. I graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Communication and a minor in Sociology. In my spare time I can be found in one of three places: in my hammock day dreaming about where to travel to next, in a coffee shop enjoying a vanilla latte (iced if it’s between the months of March and October), or reading a book curled up on the couch wishing it was the beach.
Now I don’t mean to brag but I won two poster contests at my elementary school, and ever since then I’d like to think I had a knack for coming up with creative and original ideas. There’s just something about crafting the perfect caption and getting just the right angle for a picture that really gets me excited about what I get to do.
So why trust me to help you with something you’ve worked so hard for? First of all, I’m not here to dictate what your brand, vision, or voice is. You’ve already established that. I’m here to come alongside you and help streamline your message, organize and draw attention to your social media pages, and honestly to help take a weight off of your shoulders because the last thing you need to be worrying about is what hashtag to use. Need a little more convincing? Scroll down to check out my experience.

Experience
Besides my elementary school poster contest accolades I mentioned earlier, what other experience do I have? My first job right out of college was managing the social media accounts and weekly newsletters for the church I interned for all throughout college. I’m going to be really honest; I had no idea what I was doing. There was a learning curve and it took some time. What I did know however, was the vision and voice of where I was working, and how I wanted to communicate that. So with some time and patience, I slowly began to grow the social media following and something I didn’t know much about became something I couldn’t get enough of.
Through trial and error I learned what types of posts received the most interaction. What time of day posts were most successful. How to create interaction between the social media page and it’s followers. I also learned that there was a fine line between “keeping it short and sweet” and over communication, and that fine line is where the magic happens. Through my experience at the church I was able to branch out and help a friend of mine, Steven, who was starting his own business. He asked me to help run his social media platforms and create his monthly newsletter, and I couldn’t say “yes” fast enough. That was over 2 years ago. Steven had already taken a risk and started his own business and built a brand he was proud of, so it became my job to take that brand and expand it to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, so that he could focus on the production of his product, and the day-to-day duties of being a small business owner.
Through managing the social media platforms for a church, a small business, as well as a non-profit based in Haiti, I know that I have the experience and skill set to help you tell the world about what your business or organization has to offer. Through creative content and captivating copy, Ashley Holmes Creative is here to partner with you and showcase the extraordinary aspects of your business.
