I started a little marketing agency 7 years ago called Homestead, named after the street I grew up on.
I had the vision to build something special and looking back now, I think we did exactly that.
Today Iβm excited to announce that Homestead has been acquired by Verndale (also recently acquired VAAN Group) in an effort to create a DTC growth platform built to support brands across the entire commerce lifecycle.
Iβm extremely grateful to my business partner
@_RileyTrotter for all of the time heβs given this company and all the incredible work that heβs done. Riley took over as CEO a few years ago and Homestead wouldnβt be where we are today without his leadership and pursuit of greatness.
I canβt say enough about my other partners
@kellybird__ and
@jsappington. These two have shown a level of commitment to building this company that is unmatched. Watching them both grow as leaders over the last few years has been nothing short of inspiring.
To all our current and past team members, thank you for always giving Homestead and our clients 100% effort. Will forever be grateful to you all for helping us get to where we are today.
To all of our clients, thank you for trusting in us to help grow your businesses. This is not an easy task and we have never taken it lightly.
As for me, Iβm officially stepping out of the agency business, but as most of you know I havenβt been involved in the company for some time as Riley/Kelly/Jacob have been and will continue to lead Homestead for years to come. Expect to see more updates on the brands Iβve been building in weeks to come.
