WE'RE GROW & GATHER
If you’re ready to grow your business and community with heart-centered, organic marketing that leaves a lasting impact, we’re here for you.
Where it all began...
Grow & Gather was born from a deep passion for small businesses and the women who pour their hearts into them.
Growing up as the daughter of two entrepreneurs, I learned early that business isn’t just about making sales—it’s about building relationships, fostering trust, and having an impact in your community. My parents taught me that business thrives on connection, and that lesson has shaped everything I do.
After spending over a decade leading marketing and events for a large retail and community hub, I saw firsthand the power of connection-driven strategies. I watched businesses thrive when they stayed true to their values while remaining flexible enough to adapt to change.
The secret to sustainable business growth is in strong roots and flexible branches.
So one day, when I had a calling to make greater impact, I traded a job I loved for the journey of entrepreneurship.
And it's been the best decision yet! There is nothing better than spending my days uplifting women-owned small businesses through heartfelt consulting and holistic strategies that nurture their growth.
We're not just another marketing agency—we’re a community of women entrepreneurs who believe in the magic that happens when we lift each other up.
At Grow & Gather, we don’t just create marketing strategies—we craft experiences that bring people together, spark conversations, and foster real connections. We take a holistic approach, blending strategy with storytelling, ensuring that every aspect of your brand feels intentional, authentic, and aligned with your vision.
What sets us apart is simple: we’re here to nurture, not just scale. We believe in the power of authentic, intentional marketing—strategies that align with who you are and the life you want to live. We don’t believe in empty promises or quick fixes. Instead, we focus on sustainable growth that feels right for you and your business.

The heartbeat behind the marketing
Meet Niki
I’m a woman with big dreams and even bigger ideas. Being a mama and pouring my heart into my family will always come first, but helping women grow their small businesses is a passion that runs just as deep. I thrive on mixing strategy, creativity, and a whole lot of heart to turn big ideas into thriving brands—because when women succeed, we all rise together.
The Leading Lady
Meet Kassie
I’m all about building relationships and making things happen. As an account manager, keeping clients happy is my superpower, and as an operations pro, I’ve got a knack for growing businesses. When I’m not strategizing and storytelling, you’ll find me at the newest restaurant, martini in hand, soaking in good conversation. People and their stories inspire me, and my faith keeps me grounded every step of the way.
THE CONNECTION QUEEN
Meet Kassie
If I can dream it up, I’m determined to make it happen! As a social media manager who thrives on storytelling and visually capturing a brand’s essence, I love working hands on with clients to find their personalized synergy between strategy & aesthetics. When I’m not scrolling my phone for the latest ideas & trends, you’ll find me capturing memories that matter most, booking my next flight, or hitting up a new restaurant. Nothing lights me up more than listening to people talk about what they’re most passionate or knowledgeable about. I can’t wait to hear what that is for you!

Alix Mackey
I felt like I could actually do this, I could make my small business dreams a reality.
Welcome Mama Co.
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Niki and Grow and Gather. As a first-time business owner, marketing felt so overwhelming. I did not want to rely solely on social media, but I had no idea what else to do. I had my consultation with Niki, and her ability to clearly strategize with actionable steps and a truly well-rounded dynamic approach was something I didn’t think existed. If you were looking for a dedicated, professional, creative, collaborative, and empowering marketing agency -Grow and Gather is all that and more."
Sam Hall
Niki's expertise, passion and approach to holistic marketing has elevated my brand significantly.
Unlock Her Co.
"In our first strategy session, we discovered a gap in my brand identity leading us to a full rebrand that has created more clarity, confidence, and courage in reaching my ideal client with what Unlock Her Co. offers. This has made marketing to my ideal clients easier and has created more leads than ever. Niki cares deeply about ensuring your brand and marketing align to the core of who you are and what you stand for ... uniquely focusing on a holistic strategic approach to support you and your business! I could not recommend Niki more if you are looking to make an even bigger impact with your business!”
