If you haven’t read Shannon’s blog on gratitude for the small things in life, we encourage you to hop over and take a look! As a team, we are inspired by her intentional focus on thankfulness. And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, what better time for us to share our gratitude for the wonderful, creative business we love? Here is what the Campfire Collective team is grateful for in the marketing agency world this year:

Shannon

I am grateful for our PR and Marketing agency community here in Memphis. I am comforted to know that I have colleagues I can count on when I need advice or a referral. Not every city has a marketing community that will refer business to one another and celebrate each others’ wins, but we have that here. It’s special. 

Alexas

Creative freedom is a gift I hold close to my heart. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to explore new ideas. It’s exhilarating to take risks, try something unexpected, and see where it leads. Each project is a chance to express my creativity, and I appreciate every moment I get to share that with my team and our clients.

Allison

I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with and talk to so many professionals that build each other up and help each other succeed. My coworkers, along with everyone in the marketing community in Memphis, have helped me so much! I can’t imagine learning the ropes without this great safety net.

Elizabeth

I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from clients! I truly love each of my clients, so hearing about their industry is such a joy. I’ve started new hobbies, researched new topics, and met fascinating people all because a client first shared their passion with me. 

Gaye

I'm thankful for the relationships we build with our clients. Helping them share their stories and seeing our work support their success is so rewarding. Each client brings their own energy and passion, which reminds me why I love working in a field that celebrates growth and creativity.

Gwen

I’m grateful for the small businesses and nonprofits we serve. They show up for Memphis and we show up for them.

Kate

Agency life allows me to work with a variety of different clients, and I am so grateful for the opportunities that creates. It is certainly never dull! I’m also grateful for the many ways our clients create and support their communities in Memphis, and in turn, the ways our team gets to contribute to our city’s vibrant culture. One of my favorite things about the marketing agency world is getting to leverage the ways our clients overlap -- who isn’t grateful for synergy?!

Martha 

I’m grateful for the ways that my work as a Storyteller keeps me creatively engaged in my community. Every time I get to write a blog post or a newsletter highlighting people and organizations in Memphis, I am inspired by my neighbors’ drive, ingenuity, and commitment to creating strong, healthy communities. I am grateful for a role that allows me to learn more about the people that make Memphis great. 

Millie

I’m grateful for the amazing team I work with. Everyone brings unique skills and perspectives that help drive our success. One of the most rewarding aspects of this role is watching our team members grow and thrive. Building a positive company culture helps us work better together as a supportive, cohesive team. When team members feel valued, they’re more engaged and motivated to go the extra mile for both clients and our agency.

Sarah

I’m grateful for the flexibility I have to express myself creatively while working with a team of extraordinary people!
