Meet Ashley Conway: Your Guide to Values-Based Marketing Success
I never wanted to be an entrepreneur.
For most of my life, my dad has owned and operated a machine shop. He is the hardest working person I know, and even as a child, I was very aware of the ups and downs of being a business owner.
So I wanted the exact opposite-- the corner office in a major corporation to be exact.
And that’s how my career started– working for a massive corporation that's now in the top 25 of Fortune 500.
But being there, and seeing the work CMOs and VPs of Marketing actually do, made me question whether that’s really what I wanted.
​
No matter what position I held or what company I joined, I felt so unfulfilled. The age-old question of "Isn't there more to life than this?" sent me running to God.
Thankfully.
Hey there!
I'm Ashley
CEO OF BEWEIRD MARKETING
MY STORY
I knew I could help people
beyond just increasing sales.
I prayed for months, and I continued to feel stirred to make a change.
So in 2010, I left the 8-5 life to experiment with new ideas. I was a personal trainer for a while, a wellness coach for a few months, and a blogger for a couple of years.
​
When friends hired me to do freelance marketing in 2011, I agreed to help but considered it a short-term gig.
​
I took on more freelance work as the years went by, but I didn't treat it like a business.
Marketing didn't feel like a worthy purpose.
How could helping people sell stuff be God's plan for me?
​
Yet, without promoting myself or seeking work, God kept bringing me clients. And my business began doubling.
This was obviously where He wanted me.
​
I started to look back on my career with new eyes. I had worked with so many different kinds of businesses from startups to large corporations in a wide range of industries. And on so many different types of projects from sailboat advertisements to customer experience plans to direct mail to sales pages and emails to influencer interviews and everything in between.
God planted a new idea in my heart
I could use my experience to help other Christian businesses.
I believe business can be a force for good in the world. Just think, how many businesses do each of us interact with in a given week?
And if a business is operated with Christian values and principles, it is an opportunity for Jesus's love and light to be spread throughout neighborhoods, cities, states, countries, and eventually, the world.
That's the difference you'll find when working with me.
Yes, you get the professional and the expertise of someone who knows how to create an effective, research-based marketing plan that will help you attract the right customers and multiply sales.
​
But you also get a follower of Christ who knows that your business is also your ministry and helps you design a plan that honors your values and preferences.
