Remember when marketing was about understanding people? I never stopped believing in it. I take the story, emotion and trust that made old media iconic and put them to work where your audience lives now.
A note from Carly
My roots in marketing started on the brand side, where I was the entire marketing department for a beauty startup, juggling email marketing, social media, content writing, influencer partnerships, and even customer service. That experience gave me a ground-level understanding of just how much falls on a business owner's plate.
From there I moved into the agency world, focused on social and influencer marketing for household names like Bravo's Below Deck Adventure, Homedics and Yahtzee with Buddies. After years across multiple agencies, I kept noticing the same pattern. Too many were locked into a single way of doing things, resistant to change in an industry that never stops evolving. So I set out to build something different that lasts.
From my living room desk, I began freelancing for clients in entertainment, video games and wellness. No matter who I spoke to, one thing rang true: business owners are strapped for time.
Decode Media grew from a freelance operation into a full-service marketing agency in the middle of the Los Angeles hustle, a place where hardworking business owners can hand off their marketing to people who eat, sleep and breathe it every day.
