???? Big Announcement ????

So it’s official. That’s a wrap. A chapter closed and a blank page to start writing a new one.

In November 2021, Andy and I made the decision to sign on the dotted line ??? and sell Nice Branding Agency. This past Friday was my last day as a full-time employee.

Yes, as you can imagine, waking up yesterday was unreal. It was the first Monday in over 15 years that I woke up without the lavish privilege and loaded responsibility of leading an organization that so many were a part of.

The first question from most that have heard has been, ‘How do you feel?’?

Honestly, I have to say, I feel happy. ?? I’m happy to know that we did it. I’m happy to have the opportunity to realign my priorities and I’m happy to have a second to breathe and feel the air around me. Agency ownership is tough and even the tough get tired, so I need a second.?

And I’m happy to spend some time reminiscing on the impact that this place had on so many.

To the clients. I will genuinely miss working with you. I’ve had the privilege of building long-lasting relationships with so many great people that will far outlast the work we have done. Thank you for the opportunities. For believing in us and truly trusting us with your business. Thank you for the loyalty. Thank you for letting us be a small part of your story and allowing us to do what we absolutely love doing for so long. My hope is that our work has improved your business, even in the smallest way.

To the team. You are the true rockstars. ?? The talented ones. Thank you for your time and your efforts, which were often far and above. I hope your career has been positively impacted by your time at Nice. I pray the friendships you formed here are fulfilling and long lasting, because that’s the true treasure in all of this. As the Nice Humans behind this brand, you had an impact on so many and that is something you should be proud of. The work you did reached far beyond the walls and screens of our offices. Whether your time here was short or long, thank you for giving a part of yourself to my agency.?

To Andy. He doesn’t have social media but I know he’ll find a way to read this post. ?? Thank you for your ongoing support, which allowed me to follow this path wherever it took us. Thank you for your patience as I often times had to prioritize this agency over you, and thank you for picking me up when I went down. You’ve celebrated with me when I needed a win and sacrificed your own needs over and over for this agency and our teams. You’ve built amazing spaces for us, and no matter how glamorous or outrageously ridiculous my request was, you always did it with the most giving, sacrificial attitude.

To my friends. Thank you for listening, over and over and over, even when you probably didn’t want to hear it again. So many of you walked this path with me, either in it’s entirety, or at different twists and turns, and it was honestly so helpful just to have you listen and advise, so thank you for being there.

To Jesus. The song says it best. I can see the evidence of His goodness all over my life and this agency. It has been running after us ever since the day we started and it hasn’t stopped. This is his place. This is his plan and I plan to rest in that.?

And WOW, what an adventure it was!! Through the years, we had some incredible wins and some really great times. Those are the memories I will cherish forever.

So, what’s next? Of that, I’m not certain, but I am certain there is something next. ????

In the meantime, I’ll be taking on a few residential styling projects ?? as it’s been a side passion of mine for sometime. Andy is doing Owners Rep work, skillfully combining his financial and construction experience, representing owners in commercial construction projects. He’s finally out of the sorority house and he couldn’t be happier.?

We will no longer have access to our existing emails, so here’s our new ones.

And, if you're the praying type, we’d appreciate your prayers as we navigate our new normal. Change is hard and this is quite a big change for us.?

And, if you’re not the praying type, well just ?? let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus, because…

He’s the secret to our success ?

Branding - our core services will remain in the branding realm; however, our team and clients will be supported by a crew that has deep experience in digital marketing, websites, and web support.
