Meet the team
Your business is our business
Shelby Carpenter, Owner
Motivated by a strong commitment to supporting local businesses in my community, I founded Wise Marketing. My career journey began with involvement in two local Chambers of Commerce, where I worked closely with small businesses in Wise County.
Through this experience, I felt a strong desire for a more personal connection with these businesses and the opportunity to support their growth in a meaningful way. This led me to make the bold decision to start Wise Marketing, an agency dedicated to providing tailored marketing solutions for small businesses in Wise County.
As a small business owner myself, I understand the importance of a strong social media presence. However, I also recognize that not all companies have the time, resources, or expertise to keep up with constantly changing trends or hire a dedicated marketing professional. With this in mind, my main goal is to empower and support these businesses, ensuring their success through effective social media and marketing strategies.
