Our Story
Established in 2020.
Meraki Marketing Agency was founded in 2020 by Amaris Ballard, who saw first-hand how the pandemic forced businesses to rethink their entire approach to connecting with customers. While the world scrambled to get online, Amaris noticed something deeper: most agencies were focused on quick fixes and generic solutions, but nobody was thinking about what would actually help businesses thrive for the long haul.
With over five years of digital marketing experience behind her, Amaris realized it was time to do things differently. She built Meraki around the idea that marketing should reflect the real heart of a brand—not just what’s trending, but what’s true and lasting. Her mission: to give local and national businesses the tools and strategies they need for long-term, sustainable growth, not just a temporary boost.
Meraki means to put something of yourself into your work—heart, soul, and all. That’s the standard Amaris set for her agency from day one. The goal isn’t just to get businesses seen online, but to help them build genuine relationships with their audience and create a foundation for consistent success over years, not just months.
To deliver on this vision, Meraki partners with a network of trusted local contractors across a variety of specialties. The agency collaborates with top photographers, videographers, search engine specialists, social media pros, graphic designers, printers, and more—so clients have access to a full suite of services, all in one place. This allows Meraki to offer the highest quality creative and technical expertise from professionals who understand every aspect of marketing and care about the results as much as their clients do. Whether a business needs a new website, standout social media content, to rise in search rankings, or a full-scale marketing strategy that actually drives results, Meraki provides a true full-service experience—always with a focus on long-term, sustainable, and consistent success.
