    Ashley Vasquez is an award-winning entrepreneur with 12 years experience straddling the worlds of organic and paid social media, brand development, ecommerce and creative production across verticals from startups to Fortune 500s.

    Exhilarated by the idea that there are no failures, only iterations, she believes in pairing data with logic and gut-checks, resulting in customized work appropriate for the dynamic landscape.

    Ashley has brought her solution-oriented, anything-is-possible mindset to brands such as Corona Beer, Disney, Petco, ABC, Pfizer, Honda, Robert Mondavi Wines, iRobot, Emerge Beauty, Capital One, STX Entertainment, Wyndham Hotels, Jack in the Box and California Lottery, to name a few.

    A personal passion, she often speaks at conferences, mentors and teaches the next generation of advertising moguls at cutting-edge establishments such as The Miami Ad School and CalState.

    Originally from the Chicago area, Ashley has a passion for hearty Midwestern-style food. Now based in LA, her deep-dish pizza and ballpark hot dog diet has evolved to also include kale and green juice.

  • Production & Creative Lead

    Zachary Dripps is a Los Angeles based filmmaker with an arsenal of skills and experience in the creative industry, from major Netflix and Hulu films such as The Prom, Palm Springs, Grown-ish and Arcane, to top-tier brand advertising campaigns for household names like Riot Games, Mont Blac, and UGG.

    Born and raised in Boulder, Colorado he grew up the oldest of three children and has an MFA in Cinematography from Boston University’s Cinema and Media Production program. His hobbies include competitive ocean swimming, playing piano, and taking photos on his Pentax 67 medium format film camera while exploring the world.

  • Strategy Lead

    Devin Weakland has worked in media for over eight years. With experience in copywriting, content production, short and long-form writing, she has worked across social, digital, email, and out of home. She especially loves brand building, tone of voice creation, and infusing creativity with strategy. This, rivaled with her passion for the oxford comma.

    She's lent her expertise to clients such as Cape Cod Chips, Sleep Number, Paramount+, iRobot, Unilever, United Healthcare, and Corona Beer to name a few, as well as a pro bono national #StopAsianHate campaign.

    Hailing from Los Angeles, she resides in New York City after watching one too many episodes of Sex and the City. When she's not removing exclamation points from her work emails, she's either taking photos of her food in portrait mode, pushing the limits of her lactose intolerance, or waiting for the F train!
