About Me
As a storyteller at heart, I specialize in building bridges between businesses, entrepreneurs, and their audience, nurturing impactful connections. My journey includes exciting collaborations with Capitol Records, Republic Records, SXSW, Venmo, CLIF Bar, American Eagle, Turner Broadcasting Studios, Array Group, and HerStory. I firmly believe that blending story with strategy paves the way for success in any business endeavor. What’s more, I hold dear the values of reliability, transparency, and approachability. These principles shape each client interaction, creating an atmosphere of trust and accessibility, nurturing partnerships that thrive on mutual growth.
A Little About Me & My Approach
Hey there, I’m Carly Hughes—your dedicated brand and marketing consultant, strategist, and someone who’s here to be both your advisor and friend. My journey in marketing has often been described as wielding a Swiss Army knife, embracing a diverse skill set that has catered to a spectrum of businesses, from software companies to e-commerce brands, musicians to hairdressers.
​
Originally hailing from Atlanta, GA, I now call Austin, TX home. While I cherish face-to-face meetings with clients whenever possible, my business primarily operates in the virtual realm, serving clients across the USA and around the globe.
​
I have a soft spot for small to medium-sized businesses and what I fondly refer to as 'solopreneurs.' These self-driven individuals, providing specialized services or running businesses solo, come from various realms—entertainers, creators, coaches, stylists, instructors, educators, doctors, lawyers, and agents.
Chances are, you might be one of them—that’s what brought you here!
​
Whether you're a solopreneur or have a small team, I'm here as your guide and support. Perhaps your business thrives offline but needs a digital boost, or you've managed to build an online presence but need help scaling further—let’s get your brand online setup, revitalized, optimized, and growing.
​
Maybe you’ve already mastered the art of branding and growing your business independently, but now you’re juggling too many hats and need assistance. I’m here to lend that helping hand.
​
My approach? It’s all about you and your needs. No fixed packages or rigid pricing here. I work within your budget, focusing on your immediate priorities. I'm your assistant, your advisor, your strategist, and your ally, committed to long-term collaboration as you build and grow.
​
While some 'business coaches' may direct you to buy courses and figure things out on your own, I take a different route. I offer consultancy, devise a plan, and execute it alongside you—working with your vision, dreams, and goals. And if there’s something beyond my expertise, fear not! I’ve got an expansive network to tap into. I'll connect you with the perfect experts for areas beyond my scope and always keep transparency about my limitations.
