Carmella’s origin story didn’t begin with Carmella or with a vision of a business or a greater mission to change social media marketing as it’s known today.
The name was founded with the birth of Stephanie’s two daughters, Carmen and Bella. In the first year Carmella had four clients, and Stephanie built the business model with Bella (her second daughter) in her lap at the same time as her laptop. It dawned on Stephanie that the name for the budding business should be something memorable. Something which holds a lot of meaning. Thus the name Carmella.
Stephanie’s good friend, Lynne Risk owner of Risk Creative said: “I have an idea for the Carmella logo”, and so the Carmella Marketing logo was born. The logo uses lots of colours to help us stand out, to signify our diversity and many accolades, and it also features mountains because we are in the heart of the Canadian Rockies; but only two mountains for two sisters; Carmen and Bella.
Our new animated logo shows the mountains growing from the earth. That signifies that our company has grown and is becoming the future version of itself. It’s still outdoorsy and so are our clients. Our website was built in 2016 by Lynne Risk and still stands strong today… with a few tweaks!
Stephanie’s focus is creating a culture of people who enjoy each others’ company, who have the flexibility to excel and determine their own schedules, and who do excellent work while continuing to learn and grow. We work hard at Carmella. Winning is one of our USP’s and we do it every day for our clients. Day in and day out, we innovate, we create, and we look for ways to disrupt the old way of doing things in favour of success.
Social media and digital marketing are ever-evolving, and in an agency eat agency world, Carmella must continually evolve and grow to accommodate the changes in the digital landscape. A rising tide floats all boats. Carmella is an award-winning, full-service marketing agency and we got here one step, one caring person, and one helpful hand at a time. “I give all the credit to my staff, to those who believed in me, and to those of you who gave Carmella a chance,” says Stephanie.
The future of Carmella Marketing is a sustainable, innovative, forward-thinking agency of keeners who want to push boundaries and win awards for our clients. Doesn’t that sound like a team you want on your side?
We think so.
