We had the good fortune of connecting with Macey Belter and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Macey, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?

Embarking on the journey of starting my own agency was a natural progression, stemming from a deep-rooted passion for marketing and years of hands-on experience in the technology field. Having worked extensively as a marketer and delving into the intricacies of user experience and software optimization, I recognized a significant gap in the industry.

As a business owner, I’ve walked the path of a client and experienced firsthand the foggy mirrors and fluff that often shroud the marketing realm. This realization became a catalyst for my mission – to bring trust and transparency to clients, offering them a refreshing departure from the ambiguous promises prevalent in the industry.

My dual expertise in marketing and technology positions my agency uniquely. It’s not just about crafting creative campaigns; it’s about integrating the latest technological advancements into every strategy. This fusion allows us to provide clients with not only innovative marketing solutions but also a transparent, data-driven approach that dispels the mystique surrounding marketing efforts.

With a commitment to overdelivering, my agency, ADM & Co., stands as a testament to the belief that trust is earned through clarity and results. Through a blend of marketing creativity and technological acumen, we navigate the complex landscape with a clear vision – to be a partner clients can rely on for authenticity, transparency, and exceptional outcomes.

 

Please tell us more about your business. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today business-wise. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?

As the CEO of ADM & Co., I’m excited to share what sets us apart and what we hold dear to our hearts. Our agency is not just a service provider; it’s a true partnership. The acronym ‘ADM’ represents ‘AnnDavis Media,’ a tribute to my great-grandmothers, Ann and Davis. These remarkable women exemplified strength, independence, and a commitment to growth, innovation, and absolute integrity. Their enduring values deeply influence and inspire our company’s ethos and approach.

Choosing ADM & Co. means embracing a commitment to honor your business’s past while propelling it into a future filled with promise. We blend timeless values seamlessly with cutting-edge digital solutions. Continuous growth is not just a goal for us; it’s ingrained in our DNA. We strive for innovation, pushing boundaries to deliver solutions that go beyond the ordinary.

Integrity and transparency, values we unwaveringly uphold, aren’t just buzzwords for us; they are the guiding principles that define our approach to every project. Our journey in the business world wasn’t without its challenges. Navigating the ever-evolving landscape of marketing and technology required resilience, dedication, and a true commitment to our values of growth, innovation, and integrity.

The lessons learned along the way have shaped us into not just an agency but a strategic partner for businesses looking to thrive in the digital age. What I’m most proud of is our ability to overcome challenges and emerge stronger, continually growing and innovating.

ADM & Co. isn’t just a brand; it’s a story of continuous growth, innovation, and unwavering integrity. We have a special affinity for impact-driven brands, those who are do-gooders in the world. When you partner with us, you’re not just getting a service; you’re joining a commitment to making a positive impact and leaving a lasting legacy.

In essence, ADM & Co. is a representation of the values we hold dear: continuous growth, innovation, and unwavering integrity. We invite businesses to be part of this extraordinary journey, where their heritage is honored while propelling toward unprecedented heights of success.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc. In your view what are some of the most fun, interesting, exciting people, places or things to check out?

If my best friend were in town for a weekend, I’d want to immerse them in Atlanta’s rich tapestry of vibrant culture, delectable cuisine, and undeniable charm.

Day 1: Urban Adventure and Skyline Magic
Kick off the weekend with an exhilarating urban exploration at Ponce City Market. Dive into the market’s kaleidoscope of shops, savoring local flavors that paint a picture of Atlanta’s culinary diversity. As the sun sets, ascend to the rooftop oasis of 9 Mile Station for a dining experience with panoramic views of the Atlanta skyline. It’s a captivating blend of city lights, delicious cuisine, and an atmosphere that defines Atlanta’s dynamic character.

Day 2: BeltLine Bliss and Midtown’s Culinary Canvas
Embrace the morning with a leisurely stroll along the BeltLine, where vibrant street art and an infectious energy set the tone. Opt for a playful adventure by renting bikes or scooters to explore this iconic trail further. For a midday treat, head to LadyBird, a charming spot along the BeltLine, offering a perfect vantage point to soak in the lively atmosphere while enjoying a delightful snack.

After a well-deserved afternoon nap, venture into the heart of Midtown. This district is a haven for food enthusiasts, boasting trendy gastropubs and upscale dining establishments. Explore the diverse flavors that make Midtown’s culinary scene truly exceptional. Roam the charming streets, letting the neighborhood’s charisma unfold before concluding the weekend with a dinner experience that perfectly encapsulates the culinary richness of Atlanta.

This weekend itinerary weaves together urban exploration, outdoor leisure, and a culinary journey, providing an immersive taste of Atlanta’s dynamic and diverse offerings. It’s a curated snapshot of a city that knows how to blend history, innovation, and mouthwatering flavors into an unforgettable experience.

Alright, so let’s jump right in! The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there a person, group, organization, book, etc that you want to dedicate your shoutout to? Who else deserves a little credit and recognition in your story?

As I reflect on the pivotal moments that have shaped my journey, I can’t help but dedicate this shoutout to two extraordinary individuals who have been a constant presence in my life for the past 11 years: Chris and Jill Kernion. Their impact on my personal and professional growth is immeasurable.

From the outset, when they entrusted me with the privilege of working alongside and caring for their daughter, Kendall, to the countless instances of offering encouragement, mentorship, and unwavering support, Chris and Jill have been more than mentors; they’ve been family.

In a world where genuine humility can be rare, the Kernion family exemplifies it effortlessly. This shoutout is a heartfelt expression of the profound gratitude I feel for their belief in my abilities and their role in shaping the person I am today. While they may never read these words, I want them to know that their influence goes beyond measure, and I am forever thankful for the privilege of having Chris and Jill Kernion in my life.

Life is funny, isn’t it? Fast forward 8 years from the moment Jill and Chris became an integral part of my life, and I find myself partnering with their eldest daughter, Bree Kernion Lanham. In January 2020, we joined forces to create the Specially Gifted Foundation, an incredible organization aimed at serving families like theirs — families with children with disabilities. Our mission was clear: to create a space where these families felt heard, seen, and valued. Almost 4 years since SGF’s inception, we have directly served 40 families in the state of Georgia and enriched the lives of hundreds more. This journey, rooted in the support and inspiration provided by the Kernion family, continues to be a source of immense fulfillment and purpose.
