Seasoned marketer

Ann Marie Houlihan is a seasoned marketer who has worked nearly 30 years in marketing for organizations ranging from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies. Her passion is to help businesses grow and achieve their goals.

Her Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology landed her an opportunity at The Quaker Oats Company, working in the Fitness Center, where she honed her commitment to helping people achieve their goals. She delivered on revenue goals for the Gatorade brand in shopper marketing, sports marketing and product commercialization.

After 14 years with Quaker Oats, acquired by PepsiCo in 2001, she served as Executive Director of a non-profit, Account Executive on the agency side, and in Product Marketing and Sales Enablement. She is experienced in strategy, brand development, website design, digital marketing, content marketing and product launch.

Ann Marie moved to New Mexico in 2023 and lives in Taos with her husband, her cat Norman and her new puppy Waylon. She enjoys hiking, running, skiing, trips to Ireland and spa days, and she is thrilled to learn about new organizations, what they are trying to accomplish, and to provide strategic guidance with execution to ensure those goals are met.

Kenna Johnson

Digital marketing geek

Meet Kenna, a digital marketing enthusiast on the millennial and Gen Z cusp, which makes her sense of humor quite weird. Armed with a Marketing degree from the University of Wyoming, she has honed her skills in WordPress, social media, digital strategy, automations and SEO since graduating in 2017.

Crafting engaging websites and optimizing content for search engines is not just a job for her; it's a passion. Beyond the pixels and algorithms she is an avid traveler, drawing inspiration from diverse cultures, and a poet at heart, finding solace and expression in words. Meditation is her daily anchor, fostering a mindfulness that benefits the creative process and keeps her grounded.
