Trellis Marketing

05/22/2026

One week ago, we closed on the new Trellis office, and honestly… it still doesn’t quite feel real to have a home in Murray.

This past week has been full of boxes, building furniture, picking out rugs and tables, hanging decor, setting up conference rooms, and trying to figure out why furniture instructions always seem to be missing at least one important step. 😂 But more than anything, it’s been a week full of gratitude and excitement for what’s ahead.

Looking back over the last four years, it’s hard not to see God’s hand in every step of this journey. He has provided immensely through our family, our team, our clients, and so many people who have supported and believed in us along the way.

None of the transformation we’ve pulled off this week would have been possible without the help of my family. From carrying boxes and building furniture to helping decorate, clean, organize, and somehow surviving multiple trips to buy “just one more thing,” they’ve all been a huge part of bringing this space to life.

This space may say “Trellis” on the outside someday, but there are fingerprints from a whole lot of people who helped make it possible, especially my wife and kids. And I’m incredibly grateful for every bit of it.

We’re also incredibly thankful for Courtney Smith and the teams at Independence Bank & Home Team Title for helping make this process possible and helping us take this next step.

One of our favorite parts of the space is the little nod to Bidwell Family Farms. Each of our conference rooms is named after a type of blackberry we grow on the farm. For years, we’ve used trellises to help support healthy growth there, and now we can’t wait to do the same for businesses here in Murray, Western Kentucky, and beyond.

We’re excited for the memories that will be made here, the clients we’ll get to serve, the businesses we’ll help grow, and the relationships that will continue to be built inside these walls. We genuinely believe small businesses matter, and getting to help them grow every day is something we’ll never take for granted.

Later this summer, we’ll officially open the doors with a grand opening celebration, but for now, heading into the holiday weekend, we’re slowing down a little, catching our breath, getting some rest, and thanking God for how far He’s brought us.

Can’t wait to show you more soon.

People always ask us how we’re able to support so many clients with such a small full-time team.

The truth is… we couldn’t do it alone.

What a lot of people don’t see is the incredible creative network behind Trellis. These are just a few of the people who help make everything happen, but there are many more across Murray, the state of Kentucky, and even a couple in Florida who help us serve our clients every single day.

They design websites.
Edit videos.
Create graphics.
Write copy.
Schedule social posts.
Fly drones.
Shoot reels.
Build emails.
Capture content.
And honestly, a hundred other things in between.

We literally could not do what we do without them.

As Trellis continues to grow, we’re always looking to build relationships with talented creatives. If you or someone you know has creative gifts and would be interested in working with us from time to time, send your résumé and portfolio to [email protected].

And to our current team, thank you. We’re incredibly grateful for every single thing you do to help make Trellis what it is. 🌿

We’ve been out a lot this month, content shoots, events, all of it… and yeah, even the new folks got thrown right into the mix.

That’s one of the things we love most about getting to serve local businesses here in Western Kentucky. We don’t just sit behind a screen and “do marketing.” We get to show up. Be part of it. Capture it as it actually happens.

Some days that looks like a planned content shoot, getting intentional photos and videos of a business and what they offer. Other days, it’s being in the middle of an event, capturing the energy, the people, the moments you can’t recreate.

And that’s the stuff that matters.

Real people. Real products. Real moments. Not something generated or staged to look perfect, but something that actually represents the business.

Don’t get us wrong, AI has its place, especially in marketing. We use it. But what our clients put forward as their first impression should be theirs. Their story, their work, their community.

We’re just grateful we get to help tell it.

We’ve captured a lot of really strong content over the past few weeks, and we can’t wait to start rolling it out. Go check out our clients’ pages, you’ll start seeing it show up.

Thankful for the time with Murray CUBS and an opportunity to share about how to help non-profits move people from caring to committed!

Most marketing companies just don’t understand the nonprofit world…or budget.😬 Thankful that Trellis Marketing DOES understand…and that they were willing to share helpful tips and insight today at CUBS- Calloway County’s monthly nonprofit gathering! Great session today! Thanks, Scott-Monica Bidwell!

We had such a great time connecting with everyone at CUBS today!

Thank you to CFSB for inviting Trellis Marketing to share and be part of a network that is truly making a difference.

Clear messaging matters, whether you’re a nonprofit serving your community or a growing business. When people understand what you do and why it matters, they’re more likely to connect, engage, and take action, and we’re so grateful to be part of conversations like this with organizations making a difference.

Also, a big thank you to Premier Spa for sponsoring our gift card giveaway!

He is not here. He has risen.

Today is a reminder of who Jesus is, what He’s done, and the hope we have because of Him. The grace we didn’t earn, the victory He already won.

We’re grateful for our team, our clients, and the opportunity to do what we do every day.

From our Trellis family to yours, Happy Easter.

We’re excited to officially welcome Madison Blakeman to the Trellis team! 🎉

Madison is joining us as our Project Manager, working alongside Lauren and the rest of our team to make sure our clients are taken care of, projects stay on track, and everything we deliver is done well and on time, no balls dropped, no details missed.

If she looks familiar, there’s a good chance you’ve seen her before. Madison interned with us in the fall of 2024 while finishing up her degree at Murray State. During that time, we got to see how she works, how she communicates, and how much she genuinely cares about doing things the right way, so bringing her on full-time was an easy decision.

As we continue to grow, roles like this matter. Our clients trust us with their business, and Madison helps make sure we honor that trust by executing well, communicating clearly, and following through on what we say we’re going to do.

Fun facts about Madison: she’s currently learning how to sew, and her favorite animal is turtles 🐢

Madison shared:

“I’m most excited about building relationships with our clients and being able to help their businesses grow.”

That’s exactly what we’re about.

We’re really excited to have Madison on the team and even more excited for what this means for the businesses we get to serve.

Welcome to the team, Madison 🌱

Tonight we had our second annual Trellis Crawfish Boil, and we don’t think we could’ve asked for a better afternoon. Great weather, great food, and even better people.

One of our favorite parts of what we’re building here is getting to spend time not just with our team, but with their families too. It means a lot to slow down, be together, and just enjoy it.

If you look close, you might spot the newest member of the Trellis team, whose first official day is tomorrow! We’re really excited about where we’re headed and grateful for how God continues to grow this thing.

Days like today remind us how blessed we are.

We’re excited to celebrate the launch of a brand new website for one of our newest partners in 2026, Screen Enc. 🎉

If you’re in North Carolina and thinking about upgrading your outdoor space with a patio enclosure, we couldn’t recommend a better team to work with. These guys care about quality, craftsmanship, and taking care of their customers the right way.

Scott had the chance to visit with them in person last week, and we can’t wait to share more from that trip soon.

In the meantime, go check out their new site and see what they’re all about:

Grateful for the opportunity to partner together and excited for what’s ahead.

March is known as the month of luck… and we’ve been thinking a lot about that.

Truth is, we feel pretty lucky.

Lucky to work alongside incredible clients who trust us with their business.
Lucky to have a team that cares deeply about the work and the people behind it.
And most of all, lucky and grateful for the way God continues to open doors and guide the path ahead.

We don’t take any of it for granted.

Here are a few moments from this “month of luck” we get to call March. 🍀

Here’s to the relationships, the growth, and everything still to come.
