Question 1: Pioneering Digital Marketing in Construction

After 15 years in digital marketing, you found your passion in the construction trades sector and recently won the 2025 Most Influential CEO Award for Construction Digital Marketing in Georgia. What drew you specifically to this traditionally male-dominated industry, and how did you identify the digital marketing gap that Luna Wolf Media now fills? What unique challenges did you face as a female entrepreneur entering this space, and how did you establish credibility with construction contractors and unions?

After 15 years in digital marketing, I found myself drawn to the construction trades—not  just for the grit and pride of the work, but for the stories that weren’t being told. This  industry builds our cities, our infrastructure, our future—and yet, its digital presence was  often outdated, inconsistent, or missing altogether. That gap was glaring, and Luna Wolf  Media was born to fill it.  

As a female entrepreneur entering a traditionally male-dominated space, I faced skepticism  early on. But I didn’t try to “fit in”—I leaned into what made me different. I brought 25+  years of sales and marketing experience, a data-driven mindset, and a creative approach  that resonated with contractors and unions alike. I earned trust by showing results:  campaigns that drove recruitment, boosted visibility, and celebrated the trades with  authenticity and respect. Winning the 2025 Most Influential CEO Award for Construction  Digital Marketing in Georgia was a powerful affirmation—but the real reward is seeing our  clients thrive. 

Question 2: Mission-Driven Business with Social Impact

Your mission goes beyond marketing services - you're focused on "educating the next generation about the abundant opportunities in the construction trades" and filling the apprentice pipeline. How did you develop this deeper purpose for your business, and how do you balance profit with social impact? Can you share a specific example of how your digital marketing efforts have successfully attracted new talent to the construction industry or helped a client build their workforce?

My mission goes far beyond marketing. I believe in educating the next generation about  the abundant opportunities in the construction trades—and helping fill the apprentice  pipeline with talent that’s ready to build the future. That purpose evolved naturally from  working closely with unions and contractors who were struggling to recruit. I saw the  disconnect between perception and reality, and I knew digital storytelling could bridge it. 

Balancing profit with social impact starts with intention. Every campaign we run is built on  purpose and performance. One example: we launched a candidate-targeted recruiting  series for a client that combined live video interviews with tradespeople, interactive  giveaways, and educational content. The result? A surge in apprenticeship applications and  a noticeable shift in how young people engaged with the industry. That’s the kind of  impact that fuels me—and keeps Luna Wolf Media focused on outcomes that matter. 

Question 3: Building "Digital Dominance" on a Budget

Luna Wolf Media offers "full service elite NON-PAID social media marketing" with the philosophy of customized solutions that "won't break the budget." This approach challenges the traditional agency model. What inspired you to create this accessible pricing structure, and how do you maintain profitability while keeping costs affordable for your clients? As a female CEO competing against larger marketing firms, how do you leverage your unique positioning and personal approach to win and retain clients in the construction industry?

Luna Wolf Media was built on the belief that elite digital marketing shouldn’t be reserved  for companies with massive budgets. Our “full-service, elite NON-PAID social media  marketing” model is designed to be fast, flexible, and affordable—without sacrificing  quality or results. We’ve reached over 150,000 organic impressions on individual posts,  proving that smart strategy beats big spend. 

I created this pricing structure because I’ve seen too many small businesses and trade  organizations priced out of meaningful digital growth. Profitability comes from efficiency,  customization, and a deep understanding of what works. As a female CEO competing  against larger firms, I leverage my personal approach—hands-on strategy, transparent  communication, and a genuine commitment to client success. That’s what wins trust, builds  long-term partnerships, and keeps our clients coming back.
