Meet Ashley Rodriguez | Digital Marketing Strategist

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

Hi Ashley, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
You know, the idea of starting my own marketing agency came from a real passion for helping local businesses connect with their audience. I wanted to mix my strategist skills with a genuine desire to support startups and brands. The joy I found in coming up with cool strategies and leading a diverse team of experts, along with the freedom to be creative, really got me excited about diving into entrepreneurship. I saw the challenges as just temporary roadblocks and the rewards as long-lasting, and that’s what kept me motivated to take the leap.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At our agency, we’re all about creating impactful brands and turbo-charging sales through out-of-this-world online visibility strategies. What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to understanding each client’s unique needs and crafting tailored solutions that deliver tangible results. We take pride in our ability to combine creativity with data-driven insights, ensuring that our clients stand out in the digital landscape and achieve their business objectives.

My journey here has been a rollercoaster ride—think long nights, bad investments, and some not-so-magical partnerships. But hey, every bump in the road has been a stepping stone for growth. Overcoming these challenges required resilience, adaptability, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Success isn’t always a walk in the park, but embracing setbacks and constantly leveling up has been my secret sauce.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned? The magic of collaboration and staying true to your core values. By summoning strong partnerships and keeping our clients at the heart of everything we do, I’ve nurtured long-lasting connections and achieved meaningful outcomes for our clients.

What’s my brand all about? We’re a team powered by a passion for innovation, creativity, and results that pack a punch. My story is a never-ending adventure, driven by an insatiable desire to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible in the digital marketing universe. I’m not just excited about the future for my team; I’m ready to blast off and continue our journey of empowering brands and igniting growth through seriously strategic digital marketing initiatives.

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 someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First and foremost, big shoutout to the big man upstairs for paving this awesome path for me! I’ve got a killer team backing me up – my late father, Carl Owens, instilled in me the hustle and discipline muscle, while my mom, Latricia, hooked me up with the forward-thinking and strategy muscle. My husband has been my rock from day one, boosting my business insight muscle to superhero levels. And let’s not forget my awesome kids, keeping me motivated and laser-focused on building our legacy. And hey, I gotta give a big high-five to myself – it’s been a wild ride, but I’m proud as heck of the woman I’ve become! Cheers to Team Me!
