Grow Wild Creative

I feel incredibly proud that Grow Wild Creative was able to be a small part of the Austin Business Women of the Year Awards, hosted by this year.

Once upon a time, I was involved more heavily in the Austin philanthropic scene. I attended (and helped plan) fundraisers, appreciation events, and networking meetups.

I ultimately left the entire sector for a different opportunity. These types of events, where affluent people sponsor and grant to the 'less fortunate' never felt right. Something felt off, but I really couldn't articulate it then.

No matter what our communications said, the subtext was present throughout every event...it was always about power over others vs. power with others.

But ABW was different.

From the thoughtful way, they presented awards, to their nomination and voting process. And even to the accessible sponsorship levels, so small businesses like mine could support --they are clear about being in power with others.

Last night, I felt in power with women in Austin. I felt proud to be a part of this community. And I cannot wait to be a part of it for years to come.

Congrats to all the winners! Felicia Reed, , , ! So so so deserved! 🔥

And thank you to my beautiful friends and for joining me! Y'all made it so much more fun. ❤️

SEO still matters, a lot.

It is a bit of a unicorn.🦄 In that it’s challenging to test (like say A/B testing on an email). But SEO undoubtedly helps drive people to your website without needing to fuel tons of money into ads.

It’s a slow burn, just like a good ole Texas brisket, you can’t rush it. 🤠
