GET TO KNOW THE FOUNDER OF BUD TO BLOOM MARKETING
I’m Karley, Your NEW Marketing StraTEGISt.
For as long as I could remember, I’ve been an advocate for helping small businesses grow. From my very first job at 14 doing photography and social media for a local music store to today, acting as the marketing right-hand for creative service providers, this is my dream come true.
Before Bud to Bloom, I worked as an engineer—where I honed my analytical and technical skills. Pair that with my 6+ years in marketing, and you get the best of both worlds: creativity and strategy. Just call me Hannah Montana!!
I take a zoomed-out approach to marketing, looking at all your messaging, channels, offers, and content and ensuring everything is connected. Then, I build systems and strategies to keep your marketing ecosystem strong.
I’m based in Frederick, MD but am thankful to serve clients around the globe.
By the Numbers—because I love me some data.
Partnered with 45+ businesses to improve their marketing
Managed marketing materials across 15+ platforms (Instagram, Flodesk, etc.)
Led 70+ strategy sessions for business owners needing a plan
6+ years of marketing experience, working closely with small businesses

Things I care about deeply:
TREAT PEOPLE LIKE PEOPLE
…not potential dollar signs. I prioritize ethical, relationship-first tactics over making a quick buck.
MUTUAL EMPATHY
Life can be hard, and empathy is the norm here. I care about my clients as individuals—not just as business owners.
QUALITY WORK BY HUMANS
AI has its time and place, but I still leave the bulk of the creative and strategy to humans.
CLIENT TRUST
The best collaborations are rooted in trust, and I value having open and honest communication with my clients.
WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER, YOU GET A STRATEGIST, CREATIVE, AND TRUSTED PARTNER ALL IN ONE. ARE YOU READY FOR IT??
