The Origin Story
I Didn't Find A Secret Formula. I Just Did The Work.
I have always been a creative person, and I learned marketing the old way first, in banking. Cold calls, on-site pitch visits, and years spent nurturing relationships with local business owners. I left that job in 2020 to stay home with my son, and I taught myself the online version so I would not have to go back. Every YouTube video, every podcast, every book I could get.
It took three businesses running at once to make the math work, a shirt shop, a candle company and a photography business, all of it through COVID, when nobody was walking into anywhere and online was the only option any of us had. I learned what it takes to stand out there because I had no other way to sell. I started RAE in April 2023 with no funding.
I have not stopped paying for my own education since. Courses, mentorships, memberships, coaching seats, all of it bought out of the business so I would not have to learn everything the slow way twice. We doubled revenue in 2025, my husband went part time that same year, and we became an S Corp in 2026.
What I do now is find the gap, usually on the first look. Somebody arrives certain they need more posts, and the real problem is that their site does not say what they sell in the first ten seconds, or the content that was working is the thing they quietly stopped making. I have not met a business yet that I could not find a new way to put in front of the right people.
Today I am finishing a bachelor's degree in marketing while homeschooling my son and running a full client roster with the team behind it.
I built this studio so the owners I work with would not have to do all of that themselves. As the CEO and Founder, I set the vision, the direction, and the high-level strategy for every brand we touch. When you work with RAE, you are getting my standards, just executed by a team of specialists who have been trained to deliver them.
