About

Hi, I’m Ashley! 👋 I’ve always worked where creativity meets strategy, and where talent and digital marketing collide. From helping celebrities like Natasha Bedingfield shape their careers to running influencer campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, I’ve loved finding creative ways to solve challenges and make an impact. I've had a pretty unique career journey. 🎭 From Talent Manager... I started my career as a celebrity talent manager, working with clients like Natasha Bedingfield and a YouTuber with 6M subscribers. From booking world tours to supporting brand collaborations, I learned how to amplify talent and connect with audiences. 📱 To Creator... While getting my MBA at Northwestern, I leaned into TikTok, creating content about entertainment and pop culture that grew to 500K followers and 175M+ views. That hands-on experience taught me how to craft content that resonates and builds authentic engagement. 📈 To Strategist. At Influential, I led $15M in annual influencer campaigns for clients like McDonald’s, Xfinity, and Macy’s. Now, as a Senior Content Strategist at Influent Social, I specialize in helping executives and founders craft thought leadership on LinkedIn that drives real-world results. 📚 The Fun Stuff: I’m an avid reader of 50+ books a year, a travel enthusiast (32 countries and counting), an occasional guest commentator for TMZ, an outspoken Hufflepuff, a proud amputee, and cat mom to Roxy.
