Some career moments come full circle.

This week I had the opportunity to welcome my longtime friend and former colleague Chris Jacobs to speak at AAF Mobile Bay. Chris and I go all the way back to the very first agency I worked at out of college, Cole Henderson Drake in Atlanta.

As Programs Chair for AAF Mobile Bay, it was a privilege to bring him in as our March luncheon speaker. Chris, Owner & Creative Director of Strange Animal, shared thoughtful insights on concept-driven creativity and why bold thinking still matters in today’s fragmented media landscape.

Drawing on his experience working with brands like UPS, Walmart, and BFGoodrich, he talked about the power of strong ideas, creative bravery, and how agencies and marketers need to keep adapting as our industry evolves.

It was also Chris’s first visit to Mobile, so we kicked things off the right way with seafood and gumbo at the famous Wintzell's Oyster House downtown. I loved getting to share a little piece of Mobile with a friend while also bringing his perspective and decades of experience to our AAF Mobile Bay community.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for a great conversation about creativity and the future of our industry.

The brands seeing the strongest results are not the ones creating the most content.

They are the ones making intentional decisions about focus and distribution.

I unpack this in my latest newsletter.

Last week’s AAF / PRCA Mobile Bay panel, What Makes Mobile, Mobile?, was a great reminder of how much thoughtful collaboration exists in this city.

Thank you to our panelists for sharing their insight and experience:
Ashley Trice, David Clark, Amy Baldwin, Jason Johnson, Chris Gibson, and James Palomo.

From storytelling and tourism to media and community engagement, the conversation was honest, engaging, and energizing. The networking that followed made it even better.

Mobile’s strength really is its people.

This morning, I had the opportunity to appear on FOX10 News alongside Brooke O'Donnell, Co-President of AAF Mobile Bay, to talk about our upcoming event, “What Makes Mobile, Mobile?”

The panel discussion and happy hour are designed to spotlight the people, perspectives, and creativity that shape Mobile’s identity and why this market continues to stand out in the marketing, communications, and business landscape.

As Programs Chair, I am proud of the conversations we are curating this year. This one is thoughtful, local, and rooted in community.

It was such a joy to host my longtime friend Ashley Schoenith at this week’s AAF Mobile Bay luncheon. Ashley flew in from Atlanta to share her inspiring journey of building Heirloomed, a brand rooted in authenticity, storytelling, and soul.

From her early days in advertising to becoming an entrepreneur and artisan, Ashley reminded us how powerful it is when marketing and meaning come together. Her talk, “Building a Brand with Soul: The Heirloomed Story,” was a beautiful example of staying true to your values while navigating multi-channel marketing and growing a business with purpose.

Thank you, Ashley, for sharing your story and signing a few books with our group, and for proving that great brands are built on heart as much as strategy.

A Carnival of Flavor for a Good Cause! 🎭✨

I had the best time at Food & Folly, UCP of Mobile’s signature annual event. The 16th year did not disappoint — from flavorful bites by local restaurants to craft beer, wine, and cocktails, it was a true taste of Mobile’s vibrant spirit. The legendary Excelsior Band kept the energy high while guests enjoyed the silent auction, wine pull, and plenty of festive surprises.

What makes this evening even more special is the cause behind it. With more than 350 community leaders and friends gathered at historic Fort Whiting, every ticket sold supports UCP of Mobile’s mission to empower individuals with disabilities across south Alabama.

Grateful to be part of a night that blends celebration, community, and impact. 💜💛💚
