YAY for a Milwaukee Brewers win and an awesome outing yesterday! ⚾ 😁

One of the many that brings to the table is vendor relations.

Spectrum Reach (long-time valuable partner for services) is just one of our many vendor partners that we 💚 working with!

If too much of your time is spent talking to vendors instead of serving your clients, let us lend a hand - we can serve as a liaison between you and your existing vendors, or help you find new partners too! 🤝

Wishing you a safe and meaningful weekend. 💚

As a small, woman-owned business rooted in Milwaukee, WI, knows firsthand the passion, persistence, and grit it takes to turn a vision into something real.

But we haven’t done it alone and we wouldn’t want to. Our purpose is to grow strong, layered connections that empower, encourage, and energize, and that comes to life through the incredible community around us.

From our membership with the Metro Builders Association, we’ve had the opportunity to connect with incredible businesses like JW Hamilton Construction, one of the newest additions to our crop of clients.

And through previous membership with the She Stands Tall community and their She Shines Cohort, we met Sadie, which turned into an ongoing relationship supporting her women-led business, Green Homeowners United, over the past few years.

And if you're looking to get involved with a strong community, Pat Miller and the Small Business Owners Community is a great place to start!

This week especially, we’re celebrating all the local and who make our communities stronger.

Tag your favorite small businesses in the comments so we can celebrate them, too!

Growing strong, layered connections means staying curious, connected, and always learning.

Our bunchie Chloe (who brings her layers of awesomeness in SEO and website strategy to our clients every day) attended the Metro Builders Association’s April Lunch & Learn centered around Google Business Profile optimization.

She walked away with valuable insights on how small, intentional updates can make a big impact.

As search continues to shift, especially with the rise of AI, these insights help us continue to empower our clients with strategies that keep them visible, relevant, and competitive.

There are layers to every business…and your numbers are one of the most important ones.

Last night, our CEO (Chief Executive Onion), Michele Tonkovitz, joined the celebration for the launch of "Stop Avoiding Your Numbers" by Andy Weins of Camo Crew Responsible Removal and Lynn Corazzi of Data2Profit Consulting.

This book is all about helping business owners move from guessing to understanding and giving them the tools and confidence to know what’s really driving their business.

Congrats on a successful launch and on creating something that truly serves the business community. 👏

Green Onion Creative exists to grow strong, layered connections that empower, encourage, and energize. Our work doesn’t start with a deliverable; it starts with a relationship.

When Jakob first connected with us, marketing wasn’t even on his radar. In his words:

“Before we made our connection, I had no intentions or knowledge of how much goes into the marketing/advertising side of things, especially in my industry and the last thing I had on my priority list was most of things that we have talked about in terms of logo, website, social media, etc.”

But perspective shifts when growth becomes the goal.

“I’m happy to say that as J.W. Hamilton Construction scales, I want to make Green Onion Creative my sole partner in terms of marketing/advertising, whether that means creating a more detailed and in-depth website, creating social media pages, etc.”

We worked with Jakob to create the J.W. Hamilton logo (as seen in the graphic). The process included a lot of conversation, brainstorming, and exploring ideas together, using tools like AI to help visualize concepts and directions along the way.

AI is a great tool to have in your toolbox, but you can’t build an entire house with a hammer. Strategy, relationships, and collaboration are still what build the foundation.

Growing strong, layered connections also means growing our knowledge, our systems, and the way we work.

This week, members of the GOC bunch learned more about AI systems and how we can continue improving our processes and workflows behind the scenes.

AI is evolving quickly, and part of our responsibility as a strategic and creative marketing agency is to stay educated, stay curious, and understand how to use new tools thoughtfully and strategically for both our team and our clients.

We’re always looking for ways to improve how we work so we can continue serving our clients at a high level and help them grow with clarity and confidence. 💚

We believe in growing strong, layered connections that empower, encourage, and energize. 💚

At , that’s not just our purpose ... it’s how we show up every day for our bunch, our clients, and our community.

GOC Marketing Coordinator Megan Coughlin’s story is a perfect example of what can grow from that.

Through an AMA Milwaukee event, Megan connected with our CEO and founder, Michele Tonkovitz, who also serves as President of AMA Milwaukee.

A simple conversation grew into mentorship, hands-on experience, and a role as a Marketing Coordinator with our team.

This is what happens when strong, layered connections are nurtured with intention. Opportunities grow, confidence builds, and futures take shape!
