We’re a future-focused creative marketing studio

Built by a marketer who's worked alongside Fortune 500 brands, run campaigns at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and spent 10+ years turning brands into industry leaders.

Strategy, storytelling, and taste can't be automated. The brands that win aren't the ones posting more, they're the ones saying something worth paying attention to. That's what we build.

Digital marketing agency for female founders

Meet the founder Jessica

FOUNDER // 10 YEARS EXPERIENCE // TYPE-A // CREATIVE // SPREADSHEET QUEEN // PASTA LOVER // ENNEAGRAM 8

Hi, I’m Jess. After years spent in corporate marketing, freelancing on the side became Harbor 26 Studio.

Leading a team of creatives who are obsessed with strategy and creativity has allowed us to help many businesses grow in more than one way, which is why we made our business to help yours.

We’re kind of obsessed with telling your story well. If you’re wanting to stand apart, we’d love to meet you!

I have always enjoyed being both creative and methodical—a combination that often seems paradoxical. It put me on the fast track to a degree in Graphic Communications and Engagement Marketing, which I started when I was 16. While I was in college I freelanced and worked at a spa, so I love working with wellness brands!
After graduating, I was featured in Graphic Design USA (twice), nationally ranked 2nd place in the 48 Hour Repack Competition through the Institute of Packaging Professionals Southeastern, worked firsthand with globally recognized brands and ambitiously progressed in the corporate world to better understand the inner workings of brands and their needs.
With over 9 years of experience in social media management, branding, project management, and production, my journey in the world of design and digital marketing has been fueled by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a deep commitment to transforming visions into compelling realities.
My favorite part? I get to help brands grow to their full potential!
I'm a military brat, world traveler, adrenaline chaser, and art lover.
On a more personal note, I prioritize wellness and love Italian food (yes that's in the same sentence...it's called balance). I relax to spreadsheets, refuse to get rid of my paper planner, and call myself an introverted extrovert. I'd rather rewatch 2000's rom-coms than start something new, and my music preference ranges from The Righteous Brothers to Def Leppard. If you can't find me, I never say no to a day on the boat.
I'm as type-A as they get and an ambitious goal-getter (isn't every founder?).
But, I try my best to balance both sides of life and am very intentional in everything I do. I believe in doing things right and doing right by people – which is why we aim to work with clients who truly want to build a lasting relationship with both their audience and H26. Thanks so much for stopping by, looking forward to talking to you!

I’ve worked with Fortune 500 companies, managed marketing campaigns at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and built up marketing ecosystems at start-ups, but the highest honor is helping you grow your business with the help of my team.

HARBOR_26_Studio_creative_marketing_agency

WHY THE NAME…

WHY “HARBOR”

Much thought goes into everything we do, so let's dive deep...

The term "harbor" suggests a safe and secure place. We wanted to create a haven for brands to thrive.

A harbor is strategically positioned for ships to navigate smoothly. Similarly, we help brands navigate successfully in the competitive market online.

Harbors are often filled with diverse activities and communities, serving as meeting points for various vessels. Our name symbolizes the creation of an interconnected community of brands and businesses meeting for creative ideas, innovation, and strategies.

WHY “26”

There are 26 letters in the alphabet. Every story ever told was built from those same 26 letters. We help you find the right ones with the words, messages, and narratives that tell your brand's complete story in a way that actually lands.

Our long-term partnerships are built on 26 weeks (6 months) to start, because real brand transformation takes time to do it right. And for the brands we grow with, 26 weeks is just the beginning.

WHY “STUDIO”

Lastly, we are a marketing and creative "studio". In any industry (art, music, film, photography, dance, fitness), a studio is where you create, and that's what we do.

At our core…

What we use to guide our sails with every brand we touch. They shape how we work, how we communicate, and what you can expect when you partner with us.

We believe good work lifts everything around it. That means thoughtful strategy, design, careful execution, and details that don’t get overlooked. Quality isn’t a bonus, it’s the baseline.
Marketing changes. Platforms shift. We stay flexible and adjust when needed so your brand keeps moving forward.
We’re focused on progress you can feel with clearer messaging, better systems, stronger engagement, real momentum. Good work should lead somewhere.
Clear communication. Honest feedback. No smoke, no mirrors. We believe trust is built through clarity, and we’ll always tell you what’s working, what’s not, and why.
