About Ashleigh

I've spent more than ten years in marketing, and now I run it for the teams I work with.

I studied communications at the University of Iowa and spent more than ten years in video and marketing, including time in-house at a tech startup. That's where I learned what it's like to be the team that has to deliver, week after week.

I started AB Creative in 2020. Since then I've led marketing and creative for brands and teams across venture capital and startups, technology, government contracting, nonprofits, healthcare and wellness, law, real estate and consumer brands, usually as their one point of contact from the plan to what goes out each week.

How I work

Remote, near Denver, and on every project myself

most days, right here
  1. 1

    I lead every project myself

    Strategy, direction and the decisions in between. You always know who is responsible.

  2. 2

    I bring in the right specialists

    Editors, designers, writers and developers I know and trust, hired for what the work needs.

  3. 3

    I brief and review everything

    Nothing reaches you until I would put my name on it, so you see finished work instead of drafts.

  4. 4

    You have one point of contact

    Remote, based near Denver, and easy to reach. Working closely with the people I do this for is still my favorite part.

What I believe about the work

Three things that shape how I work

  1. 1

    Showing up matters more than any single brilliant idea.

    Most marketing falls apart because nobody keeps it going, so I build plans people can actually keep up with.

  2. 2

    Do it properly, even when nobody would notice a shortcut.

    My dad built custom homes, and I grew up around blueprints and job sites. That's where I learned it.

  3. 3

    Judgment is the scarce part now.

    With AI, anyone can produce more content. What's harder to find is someone who decides what's worth making and gets it done every week.

Outside of client work

I'm also a working mom, and I share that side too.

The Working Mama is where I share the gear, routines and ideas that make running a business with a little one at home a bit more manageable.
