Mompreneur
Ashley Richards’ marketing empire is a force to be reckoned with.
T
he Marvel Cinematic Universe knows how to tell a riveting, action-packed superhero story. And while it would be incredible to have the likes of Captain America and Black Widow watching out for the collective well-being, the world has something better. They are real-life forces stronger, more capable than all the Marvel heroes combined: moms. “If you want something done right, ask a mom. [Mothers] are the queens of multitasking who thrive on to-do lists, getting creative, and working until the job is done,” says Ashley Richards, owner of E Squared Marketing, a boutique digital marketing agency named after her two kids Ellie and Eli. Richards, a third-generation Arizonan, always felt pulled to creative passions. From a tender age, she knew marketing was the industry for her. After earning a bachelor’s degree in business marketing from the University of Phoenix, she set off to do her soul’s work. Richards worked as
a digital marketing specialist for companies in all industries, including health care and commercial real estate, for 15 years and loved every minute of it. After the birth of her first child in 2015, she faced a tough decision. One that working women know too well. “Do I go back to the office and bring my child to daycare, or quit the career I love so much to become a stay-at-home mom? I loved both of them so much that I wasn’t willing to decide. I knew I needed to hustle and work hard to conquer both,” she says. Two happy kids and a successful business later, it’s safe to say that Richards conquered both. Now she’s helping other moms do the same. “Because my entire team is working mothers, it’s become a mission of ours to help moms continue to focus on their career while also having the flexibility to work from home to be the best mom to their children.” The mighty moms of E Squared
Marketing have more than 30-years of combined experience in digital marketing. They provide powerful brand strategy and digital marketing services to solve complex business issues and make their clients’ businesses impossible to forget or ignore across platforms. “We take your business goals and knock them out of the park,” Richards adds. E Squared Marketing’s clientele portfolio spans industries like hospitality, retail, insurance, finances, personal services, the nonprofit sector, and more. No one detail goes unnoticed by this powerhouse, seasoned team. Richards says, “We are passionate, we love what we do, and it truly shows in the work we create and execute.” Of her busy, busy life as a mompreneur, Richards says while smiling, “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Contact Ashley Richards at 623.205.3430 or www.esquaredmarketing.com, 11201 N.
