Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashly Scalise.
Hi Ashly, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
I was impacted by Amazon layoffs in December 2022, after almost 6 years of employment. This allowed me to take a step back and analyze what I wanted my next move to be. Within a month of experiencing life outside of corporate, I recognized a gap in the marketing industry that I wanted to tackle: helping small businesses create a social media marketing strategy.
I started going door to door (literally) in my local neighborhood, attending networking events, and posting on social media 3-5 times per day per platform. This led me to sign on to my first few clients – shutting down my early-entrepreneur imposter syndrome and giving me the confidence I needed to skyrocket my success.
Since January 2023, my marketing agency, Ashly Media, has expanded. I’ve built a team and added many services, such as website design and custom print materials. I offer both in-person and remote services, allowing me to have clients all over the nation.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Entrepreneurship is anything but smooth. I’ve failed…and then failed again.
But through my downfalls, I learned a lesson, refined the process, and came back stronger. I’m not giving up until Ashly Media is a multi-million dollar agency.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Ashly Media is a women-owned marketing agency. We offer data-driven, creative omnichannel marketing strategies and frameworks to help small businesses stand out and scale up in this dynamic digital age.

What matters most to you? Why?
Transparency is my top priority. I enjoy providing free educational marketing content so everyone has access to the basics.
Paid services are beneficial for customization purposes, but everyone should know where they stand as a brand before entering a financial commitment.
