ABOUT LACEY
Lacey D. Akins
Helping small businesses take their marketing strategy from stressful to successful!
I'm a woman, a wife, a mother, and a business person. I have a beautiful family that continues to challenge and propel me to be a better person. I've been married to my high school sweetheart, Jeff, for 21+ years and we have two rambunctious little boys, Derek (11) and Dylan (9).
Professionally speaking, you could describe me as…
Talented Marketing Director with proven skills both academically and professionally. Recipient of the Fresno State Craig School of Business, Marketing Bridge Builder award for leadership and team-building. Completed University of Florida’s MBA Program in 2012.

Designed and coordinated extensive print and mail projects. Maintained and redeveloped company websites and social media output. Delved deep into the world of online course creation. Took on new and challenging projects with ease and efficiency. Recommended by colleagues as “highly intelligent [with] great analytical and communication skills”.
And in my personal life…
A big part of my life is about my youngest son Dylan. Dylan has MED13L Syndrome, which is a rare genetic condition that causes him to be developmentally disabled. I donate a portion of my profits every month to the MED13L Foundation in honor of helping research and finding a treatment or cure for this disease.
Even thought he is neuro-developmentally disabled that doesn’t stop him, Dylan is a thriving little boy! I have assembled an amazing team to help in his care and challenge him to be his best.
While a rare genetic condition wasn’t in the plan, owning my own business always has been. And working has been a wonderfully positive thing in my life. I love the balance of working and challenging myself professionally while still having the flexibility to adventure with and care for my family.
Life is about balance.
I am passionate about helping small businesses grow. I come from a family of small business owners and I am so thankful to have realized what drives me...owning my own business, and helping others succeed.
I look at each client as a partnership, where we each have complimenting skills. I specialize in marketing and design and you bring your industry’s wisdom with you.
Together, I believe we can achieve big things for your small business.
