Ivory & Stone
Thoughtful marketing, faithfully stewarded to reflect who you are, strengthen your presence, and build lasting relationships.
We use AI to improve efficiency, organize ideas, and streamline the process — but every strategy, story, and relationship is guided by people, not algorithms. Businesses don't grow because of automation. They grow because people trust people.
That's why we listen with our eyes and our hearts, not just our ears — and why we consider ourselves stewards of that trust, not just marketers chasing it.
Small businesses know what they do. What's hard is saying it the way a customer actually needs to hear it — especially when the sales team says one thing and the website says another.
Ivory & Stone closes that gap before spending a dollar on execution. We sit in on the sales calls, the customer conversations, the moments where your business is actually explaining itself — and build marketing from what's really there.
This isn't a content calendar delivered on a schedule. It's a partnership built around understanding your business well enough to represent it accurately, and staying close enough to keep it that way.
Every business problem is really a human problem. Behind every sale, every hesitation, every "yes" or "not yet" is a pattern of behavior worth understanding — that's the lens brought to every engagement: reading people, trends, and the things happening in a room that never get said out loud, before any strategy or content gets built. Tools, including AI, help move faster. Reading a room isn't something a tool replaces.
In practice, that can mean messaging strategy, sales enablement, social content, or hands-on photo and video work — whatever the conversations reveal is actually needed, built once we know what to say, not sold as add-ons upfront.
Marketing isn't just about posting on social media. It's about building trust, creating consistency, and telling your story in a way that connects with your audience. We partner with businesses that need a reliable marketing resource they can count on — not another vendor to manage.
Execution without understanding is guesswork with a nice font. So we start elsewhere.
We review actual sales calls, customer touchpoints, or team conversations — not a survey, not a guess. What's already being said is the starting material.
What we hear gets translated into language your business can actually use — positioning, key phrases, and where your current marketing has drifted from what customers respond to.
As your business changes, we stay close enough to catch when the marketing and the reality start to drift apart again — and correct it before it costs you.
My background is rooted in the commercial construction industry, where I spent years in sales, admin, and business development — working alongside contractors, consultants, and industry organizations. That experience taught me how to communicate complex services clearly, and how much trust matters in industries built on relationships, not transactions.
Underneath every business is a person and a story, and that story deserves to be represented well — the way you'd represent it yourself, if you had the time.
That's what I care about most: earning the trust to speak for your business as if you were the one speaking. It starts with listening — not just to what's said, but to what's meant. With your eyes and your heart, not just your ears. That's how relationships are actually built, and it's the foundation everything else at Ivory & Stone is built on.
I use the tools available, including AI, the way any good craftsperson uses tools — to move faster, not to replace judgment. What I bring personally is the read on people that no tool can: the ability to see where a business actually is, and help chart the specific way to where it wants to be.

Every tier starts the same way — with understanding. What changes is how deep and how often.
For businesses that need direction before execution.
Strategy plus hands-on execution — I run it, not just plan it.
Full execution across social media and events, plus strategy.
For a single need, or a business not ready for ongoing support yet.
Every package above is a bundle of services that are also priced individually in À La Carte. A request that blends pieces from more than one package is never a guess — it's simple math from the prices already on this page.
Priced at its individual À La Carte rate. Example: event attendance alone, no social media, is the standalone $150–$300/event rate.
Component prices are added together. Example: Social Starter plus one event per quarter is the Social Starter rate, plus the à la carte event rate billed as it happens.
Priced at the full tier rate, less a credit for the à la carte value of the piece removed. Example: Social Essentials without community management.
Clients who combine two or more package groups receive 5–10% off the combined total — a reward for consolidating into one relationship.
