Hummingbird Marketing Services

We are thrilled to be celebrating Julia's 1-year anniversary with Hummingbird Marketing Services! 🎉

It’s been a year since Julia joined our team, and what a wonderful year it has been! With her thoughtful and insightful writing style, Julia has helped to refine our clients' messaging with blogs, website content, and social media.

She’s also helped to elevate our own blogging and social presence. 🌟 If you caught her weeklong IG takeover last week, you know how she took us on a fantastic tour around Boston.

From crafting engaging posts to brainstorming creative campaigns, Julia's limitless creativity and warm personality have been a pillar of our team. We’re so lucky to have Julia in our Charm!

This was such an exciting project for us, and we’re thrilled to share its final reveal! 🎉 Working closely with the Red Cork Bistro & Catering (and getting to taste the delicious food for ourselves) was so impactful for our design process. We took the feel of in-person dining and turned it into digital form.

With multiple menus, catering options, and a need for scheduling reservations, we prioritized both an accessible and tasteful user experience. The countless, beautiful images of RCB’s made-from-scratch food took our success in this mission to the next level, as we were truly able to take their cuisine from the plate to the screen!

Happy 4th of July from all of us at Hummingbird Marketing Services! May your day be filled with fun, fireworks, and unforgettable memories. 🎇✨

How are you celebrating today? Share your festivities in the comments below!

With 40+ custom-designed pages, more than 30 blog posts, and 17,000+ words of personalized text, this complete website re-design for our client Palmetto Counseling & Consulting Services is one of our biggest launches yet!

Our process began by deep diving with the Palmetto team to get a holistic feel for their practice and set our design’s direction to:

🐚 Display happy, rejuvenated people to promote therapy’s positive outcomes;

🐚 Highlight the innate connection each therapist has to this work and their clients; and

🐚 Capture inclusive care and diverse services for all to know they’re welcome.

It was important for the website to feel the same as walking into the South Carolina Palmetto offices — peaceful and judgment-free (and free from dreary or sterile stock images).

All said and done, this project was a pleasure, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! To see more, visit www.pccrh.com or www.hummingbirdmarketingservices.com to explore our web design services today!

It has truly been a pleasure bringing the Taqueria Puebla site to life, and we are SO excited to share its reveal!! 🎉

Through vibrant colors, imagery, and descriptions, we carefully captured the in-person immersion of rich culture and quality cuisine online. In the end, the results wow-ed our clients, which is the ultimate success!

We hope these slides speak for themselves and give you a taste of Taqueria PueblaSee more at taqueriapueblawa.com or follow the link below to request a free consultation with our team. Your dream website awaits!

We’re THRILLED to share that our services have reached a new industry…Restaurants!!

Our charm has been buzzing with exciting new projects (all to be featured soon) two of which were focused on a complete website rebuild, design refresh, and content strategy development for local Seattle gems, Taqueria Puebla and Red Cork Bistro & Catering

We had an absolute blast bringing these visions to life and fully immersing ourselves in the unique atmospheres of both restaurants. Working in close collaboration with the restaurant owners, we embraced every soulful detail to translate the same in-person experience to both desktop and mobile screens.

Stay tuned for the reveal of both finished projects and much more marketing magic in the dining world!

Celebrating freedom and equality, Happy Juneteenth from all of us at Hummingbird Marketing Services! 💜

As we close out March and Women’s History Month, we must share that we wouldn’t be the strong, independent women we are today without the love, support, and inspiration of many other women.

For Founder & CEO Andi Lucas, these women are her Mom, sister Nici, and best friend Laura. Each one has helped shape who Andi is today.

“I have learned so much from these women, and I am so grateful,” Andi shared. “Mom taught me kindness, happiness, and laughter. Nici taught me strength, loyalty, and laughter. And Laura taught me perseverance, resilience, and laughter. I can’t wait to keep learning!”

Even though March is coming to an end, we are proud to be and to recognize inspirational women every day. 💜

We wouldn’t be who we are today without the amazing women in our lives who’ve shaped us. 💜

For our Marketing Coordinator, Julia, these women are her Mom; Aunt Jodee; Grandma (Dia); Grandma Ria; sisters, Maria and Giana; and best friends, Jordan, Maria, and Sarah. Each one has helped build Julia’s confidence, encouraged creativity, and has been by her side through it all!

“Having grown up in a house with four women (sorry, Dad), I’ve been so lucky to have sisterhood surround me my entire life,” Julia shared. “These women know me for and inspire me to be my truest self. In doing so, I’m reminded that we’re always connected, near and far!”

Empowering women is so very important to us in both our personal and professional lives. Our hearts are full and we couldn’t be more grateful for the bonds we share!

We’re proud to highlight another woman-owned, local Seattle business and Hummingbird client this — Paws and Palaces!

This project started with an entirely blank slate, granting us creative freedom to curate the brand’s identity, even down to the logo! To do so, we leaned on vibrant shades of hot pink, teal, and purple to mirror the business owner’s personality and exude royalty with a playful twist.

The eye-catching gradients and playful design elements captured the exact vibe the client was looking for — a show-stopping visual identity rooted in upbeat energy, approachability, and a strong focus on pets and client convenience. Offering dog walking, pet sitting, and house sitting services, it was important for us to emulate Paws and Palaces’ mission to provide exceptional, trustworthy pet care.

We’re obsessed with the final results and had so much fun bringing this vision to life. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of seeing a client overjoyed with their logo and website!

When you spend as much time as we do trying to master brand messaging and storytelling, you notice when a brand gets you hooked. ✨

While our founder & CEO, Andi Lucas, was enjoying a Seattle concert, she was pleased to learn that the venue, Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery, had made a stance to no longer carry plastic water bottles. Enter Liquid Death. To quench her thirst, she made her purchase and snapped these pictures of the can’s text, unable to ignore it.

Similarly, while our marketing coordinator, Julia Giordano, was sightseeing in , she stopped at the The Holy Donut Portland Maine whose beverage fridge was filled with JUST Water. Munching away, she was captured by the bottle's messaging and its success in spotlighting JUST's environmental efforts while applauding the customer for their purchase's contribution.

Both brands:

💧 Clearly state and exemplify that they go beyond the “status quo” and make a product you can feel proud to purchase.

💧 Create a community of shared values with their customers detailing how they show up for what they believe in—putting an end to plastic pollution for a better environment.

💧 Have recognizable aesthetics and unique branding that aligns with their messaging, helping their products to stand out from the noise and spark instant interest visually.

Today and every day, we are so grateful to be a woman-owned business, been encouraged by women, and support other woman-owned businesses to be the best they can be.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY! 💜

After 20 years of hard work with little reward and feeling unappreciated in Corporate America, our founder, Andi Lucas, made the empowering decision to leave her all-encompassing job in 2015 and start Hummingbird Marketing Services. Thankfully, she has never looked back!

Encouraged by her best friend, who luckily happened to be a life coach at the time, Andi trusted in her coaching, listened to her gut feeling, and embarked on the journey to build her own business and be her own boss for the first time.

Eight years later, Andi not only values the absolutely fabulous freedoms that come with being a business owner but also the freedom to take Hummingbird in any direction she wants, pass this along to her team, and be the manager and mentor that she never had in her prior jobs.

Led by the phrase, “Be the woman who straightens another woman’s crown without telling the world it was crooked,” Andi is proud to be a woman business owner with an all-women team and many women clients.

For women who can relate to Andi’s story, she encourages you to follow what you feel passionate about and truly love. If you’re aspiring to start your own business, she recommends taking a business boot camp, soaking up all resources available to you as a female business owner (like Business Impact NW), finding a mentor or business coach, and, most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask for help!

Take it from Andi, your hard work is worth it when you’re doing what you love! And from all of us at Hummingbird, we hope today is a reminder to empower yourself and the women in your life—a rising tide lifts all boats!

If your marketing strategy feels like a leap in the dark, you don’t have to go at it alone! Let this leap year be a reminder that with some guidance, your marketing can help you grow LEAPS and bounds!

We are thrilled to showcase the branding we created for Angeleca Liu’s postpartum care business, Sitting Moon Doula. From start to finish, Angeleca and our team poured so much creativity into this project, and we couldn’t be happier with its beautiful outcome.

How this brand-build came to be:

❣️Angeleca’s services lean on traditional Asian postpartum care with a modern twist, offering support, knowledge, and confidence to new parents and families in Seattle. Our top priority was to create a seamless blend of tradition and modernity with a touch of enchantment to capture the holistic aspect of her practice.

❣️We chose a muted yet attractive color palette for the branding to exude a calming vibe while being culturally sensitive, aligning with Angeleca’s diverse clientele. The fonts selected are highly legible to ensure clarity and avoid any potential misconceptions across language backgrounds.
