Driven by creative strategy and storytelling, I am inspired by the people and brands that I work with to create meaningful connections and communities between customers and organizations. For the past 15 years, “creative thought matters” has been the North Star of my career; letting creativity, data, and curiosity lead the way, I consistently strive to build connections and inspire more creative thought leaders.
— Amanda Hershey
After graduating with a degree in business, I spent years building my marketing arsenal for brands in fashion, manufacturing, retail, and real estate, learning how to work cross-functionally, and how to connect with customers from all walks of life. The more I learned, the more passionate I became about brand storytelling and understanding the impactful nature of building a marketing strategy around a clear brand message and core values.

Impact.
It all begins with a story. How do you tell yours? I’ve partnered with brands and creators across fashion, real estate, and lifestyle to make sure that their story is heard — from product marketing to brand communication.
Lasting impressions.
Born and raised in the vibrant city of Philadelphia, I embody the spirit of resilience with a mantra borrowed from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night’s Dream: ‘though I be but little, I am fierce.’ As a proud Philadelphian, grit runs through my veins, and I am deeply passionate about the dynamic community that surrounds me.
Having experienced life in Philadelphia, London, New York, and Los Angeles, I now proudly call Boston my home. Movement, in all its forms, serves as my medicine and creative outlet. Whether I'm on the back of a horse, hitting the gym, or exploring the historic streets of Boston, I find solace and inspiration in constant motion.
Beyond physical pursuits, my creative spirit finds expression through drawing, a love for movies, and the immersive experience of getting lost in a captivating book. Life is a journey, and I am dedicated to embracing its adventures with an open heart and a curious mind.
