The Evolution of the Journey

Hello, I'm Maria Talley, steering the ship at Green Elephant.

Picture this: way back in 2004, I stumbled upon an HTML tutorial and crafted my first website in Dreamweaver to promote a boutique hotel in the mountains. Little did I know it would kickstart a journey of helping businesses, just like yours, navigate the digital landscape.

Fueling my passion for marketing, I took the plunge into academia, and in 2010 earned an MBA degree from the University of Tennessee with a concentration in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. This journey wasn't just about obtaining a qualification; it was a deep dive into the intricacies of strategic marketing and the art of entrepreneurship. Armed with both hands-on experience and academic insights, I bring a holistic approach to Green Elephant, marrying the best of theory and real-world application to steer your brand toward success.

For the past two decades, I've been weaving together strategies like SEO, social media marketing, content marketing, email campaigns, local business promotions, app buzz, paid search and social advertising, and PR to guide my clients toward success. What keeps the engine running? A good old data-driven approach, because behind every win is a trail of valuable insights.

What makes this journey truly remarkable is the diverse array of industries I've had the pleasure of collaborating with – from local eateries, builders, realtors, and law firms to national multimillion-dollar retailers and technology companies. Here, size doesn't matter; it's the dedication to growth that counts. I'm here to bring that tailored touch to your brand's unique journey. Let's make strides together!
