emma phillips
CO-FOUNDER | CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER
Straight off the farm in Eagle Lake, Texas, Emma set off to Austin where she graduated with a degree in Creative Advertising from the University of Texas. She and her now-husband, Chase, headed for the Coast after they finished their studies and haven't looked back since.
Being creative is second nature for Emma. With a background in graphic design, art, and photography, she has always craved a creative role. She gained invaluable experience working in marketing in the vacation rental industry, but it quickly became clear that there was a need for a creative agency in the Coastal Bend. She is proud to now use her expertise to help a wide range of businesses reach their full marketing potential.
Emma loves traveling, spending time with her husband and Australian Shepherd, Roe, and swimming in the sunshine. Her happy place is on a boat in Rockport.
wendi myers
CO-FOUNDER | DIGITAL MARKETING DIRECTOR
A self-proclaimed original 'Coastal Cowgirl', Wendi was born and raised in Corpus Christi where her weekends were either spent on the beach or on a horse. After years of working at a large law firm in the Coastal Bend she decided she was looking for a more creative outlet and started "Ocean Drive Designs", an Instagram account turned apparel and graphic design business.
Wendi started sharing on social media as a way to connect because of her extroverted nature. Finding joy in sharing the beauty and fun of her day to day, Wendi realized the true value social media can provide for creating a community. Flash forward to 2023, she has helped numerous small businesses realize that same value.
Wendi would start her day with coffee and end with wine... sprinkle in some beach time with her weenie dogs, Kiwi and Tuna, and you've curated the perfect insta post.
