We are Creatives & Strategists. We love working together.

We started Braid as creative directors (and sisters!) and have grown into a guiding team of our favorite kind of experts – the kind who get stuff done. We share decades of combined agency experience, and have helped hundreds of creative entrepreneurs and purposeful businesses (our people!) from around the country, along the way.

Tara Street

Branding & Messaging

  • Founder of Braid Creative
  • 20+ yrs Creative Director Experience

Tara works with our clients to tell their best story and bring in the layers that make it real. When she’s got her writing cap on, the keys are flying (and she actually has a writing cap). Sometimes when Tara shares the brand stories she writes for our clients, they cry. Happy tears.

Kathleen Shannon

Creative Director & Design

  • Founder of Braid Creative
  • Author of Being Boss
  • 15+ years Agency & Entrepreneurial experience

Kathleen is a designer at heart, but her expertise is personal branding + business (because business is personal). Whether creating content or creative directing – every project and conversation Kathleen is part of, inspires our clients to unapologetically “own it.”

Holly Arter

Marketing & Media Strategy

  • Partner at Braid Creative
  • 15+ yrs Agency & Client Media Planning

Holly reminds our clients (and us!) we are here to grow. Seeing the goals and the ways we can reach people to get there, comes from her focus on creating results and enthusiasm for new marketing trends. Holly also talks with her hands, so whatever she’s sharing is extra punctuated!

Amanda Lowery

Account Director & Strategy

  • Director of Client Strategy
  • 20+ yrs Marketing, Advertising, PR experience

From conducting research to planning campaigns, Amanda thinks about how to connect vision with execution. She merges her passion of great creative with the knowledge of what it takes to move the needle for clients.

Liz Johnson

Creative, Copy & Brand Design

  • Creative Director at Braid Creative
  • 10+ yrs Agency & Brand experience

Liz brings impeccable design and style to every project she touches. Liz is a triple threat, guiding our clients through the Braid Method step-by-step, pulling out the nuances of what they do so their messages feel real. But most of all she designs brands that feel perfectly made-to-fit.

Jentry Miller

Digital & Media Strategy

  • Digital Strategist & Account Manager
  • 10+ yrs Agency, Media & Digital Experience

If you like color-coded flowcharts, Jentry’s your gal. But behind the grid, Jentry helps guide some serious media and digital strategy with thoughtful alignment of audience, message and media consumption trends. She’s also pretty serious about a good cheese platter.

Caroline Grice

Media Coordinator

  • Media Coordinator
  • 5+ years Agency Experience

Caroline’s agency experience and sunny personality is a winning combo. And on days when she’s not supporting our Braid media team and clients – you’ll find her supporting her girls at the volleyball court or softball field.

Gabby Brann

Graphic Designer

  • Graphic designer at Braid Creative

Gabby Brann joins our design team as a recent OU grad in visual communications. Gabby loves finding the bridge between form and function – which can be seen in her unexpected love for Formula1 racing.

Pam Goodner

Accounting

  • Accounting Manager
  • 10+ yrs Agency Financial & Operations Experience

Pam is the master of all the numbers (more like master of The Matrix). Once she goes into the system, everything starts clicking. Because organized, well documented & timely execution of all things financial doesn’t just help us sleep better at night… it helps our clients & vendor partners know everything’s taken care of!

We love blending our own best ingredients, personal and professional, creative and strategic, to make the work we do more inspiring, insightful (and dare we say fun?) for each other and our clients.
