What Clients Are Saying
Sonsoles Gonzalez, Founder & CEO Better Not Younger
"Ashleigh made outstanding, unique contributions to our business in the early days of Better Not Younger. She developed well-thought-out marketing strategies and brought them to life working effectively with the creative teams and external partners. Ashleigh always showed great strategic leadership, a strong sense of partnership, creativity, beautiful writing and an elevated aesthetic eye. She was always willing to jump in to do what was needed, was enthusiastic and simply a pleasure to work with."
Serena Giovi, Chief Marketing Officer bareMinerals
"When my VP of US Integrations on bareMinerals went out on maternity leave, Ashleigh was recruited to provide short-term coverage for the role. She was able to quickly integrate into the existing team, learn the business, adopt internal processes, partner with key stakeholders, and add strong strategic value from the outset. In fact, when the VP came back a few months later, we asked Ashleigh to stay on to cover a vacant Paid Media role until a full-time hire was found. Highly recommend."
Susan Julia, Founder Susan Julia Olive Oil
"Working with Ashleigh was instrumental in bringing my Susan Julia Olive Oil brand to life. She built a beautiful Shopify website that perfectly captured the elevated feel I wanted for the brand, while also guiding me through marketing strategy for upcoming launches and providing valuable business insight along the way. I felt supported not just with the website, but with the overall vision and growth of my business."
Elana Gold, Chief Growth Officer One Hope Wine
"I have had the honor and pleasure of working with Ashleigh Santamaria for both Rodan+Fields and One Hope Winery. And, I will continue to work with Ashleigh for the next decade. Over the past 20 years, I have worked with many agencies - both big and small - on many complex positioning projects, creative ideas and innovation. If I knew Ashleigh back then, my work would have been even more impactful, for sure cost effective, and I would have gotten there much faster. She is brilliant in leading positioning or innovation strategy work and she aligns complex organizations behind those ideas, even though she is an external expert."
Angela Hall, ex-VP Brand & Creative Rodan+Fields
"Ashleigh is an attentive listener and is INCREDIBLE at being able to pull out what is actually needed from a communications pov along with the most pertinent facts to drive intelligent strategy and ideas. Her mental processing skills are superior and she is able to deliver thoughts in a very respectful way. She is able to very quickly to understand a brand, product, company and formulate strategies and ideas that are unique and differentiated in the marketplace & then apply them to the 360 storytelling approach of a brand to drive freshness. Just so enjoyable to work with (& always has good health tips)!"
Rochelle Weitzner, Founder & CEO Pause Well-Aging
"Ashleigh has the most positive can-do attitude and approach to her work that I have experienced. She is incredibly creative, highly organized, very efficient, and super mindful of timelines. In my experience working with Ashleigh, she is an incredible addition to the team, functions brilliantly as a fractional CMO and is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve the goal at hand."
Beauty & wellness are my native language. Brands that sell to women and consumer packaged goods are my fluent second. If your customer is female - or your product lives on a shelf - we should talk.
