Marketing and Creative Director

Building visibility for mission driven organizations.

I bring creativity and business strategy to the same table so brands get seen, remembered and supported.

Portrait of Eshana Pierre-Hudson

Welcome in

Hi, I'm Eshana.

For close to two decades I've been solving marketing and branding problems for consumer brands and B2B organizations. I've managed some pretty significant global portfolios, and I've led teams that do their best work because they actually like working together.

South Carolina is home, but the work goes everywhere. What I care about most is building stories that move people and make a real impact for the organizations behind them.

Writing and Media Relations

Press releases are content marketing when you do them right. When reporters get interested, demand starts to build on its own.

Corporate Photography

Corporate photography should tell a company's story and show its culture, not just document that something happened.

Short Form and Long Form Video

Video brings movement to a brand. Short pieces drive quick engagement and longer ones give the story room to breathe.
