MAKING WAVES SINCE 2017

About AMD: Connecting Creativity & Community

From a family of entrepreneurs, Adelaide was inspired to begin her own entrepreneurial journey when she started a tutoring business in college. With an iced coffee, a laptop and a dream of starting her own agency, Adelaide launched AMD Creative during her senior year at the University of Alabama and hasn’t looked back since.

Since 2017, AMD has helped over 800 clients grow their brands in various industries including hospitality, food and beverage, non-profit, lifestyle and more! Now as a fully remote agency with our base in Birmingham, AL, our team loves to travel and collaborate abroad as it gives us the opportunity to work with brands near and far, learn from new experiences and ultimately, fuel our creative passion. Composed of a dedicated crew of women across the United States and Canada, AMD is a one-stop shop for social media, branding and design services.

Beginnings…

  • Founder, CEO

    Adelaide is AMD’s Owner and Founder. Now in her 8th year of running AMD, Adelaide’s strong leadership and decision-making skills allow her to make the best choices as business continues to grow. Her strong suit is building client relationships – understanding their needs and exceeding their vision through her creative and intuitive design process. 

    Adelaide loves leading a team and helping business owners take control of their aesthetic look and content strategies. To keep her creativity fresh, Adelaide enjoys traveling abroad, meeting new people and collecting unique experiences and ideas along the way. To rest and recharge, she loves spending time with her huge family and exploring the outdoors. Every collaboration, challenge and conversation contributes to Adelaide’s creative work.

BRANDING TEAM

  • Creative Director

    As Creative Director, it’s Mary’s responsibility to have a pulse on all client projects including providing edits and feedback. She also does an incredible job at maintaining AMD's internal branding and social media presence and aesthetic (very Libra of her).

    Mary has been drawing and painting since she was a kid, but she didn’t have any intention of becoming a designer until she took an Intro To Design class her freshman year at UAB. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, majoring in Art with a Concentration in Graphic Design. From there, Mary got connected with Adelaide by a friend and started at AMD as an intern – talk about fate! Mary loves the collaborative work environment of AMD and her quick thinking and ability to provide honest feedback are just a few of the amazing qualities that allow her to bring clients’ visions to life.

    When Mary’s not using her creative muscles, she’s using her other muscles to boulder. She enjoys thrifting, spending time with her pooch Naga and exploring local parks. She also loves the local food scene in Birmingham – catch her at the newest restaurant or bar in town!

  • Director of Business Development, Head Graphic Designer

    Anna keeps us all on track as the Director of Business Development. Her day-to-day includes client communication, account head management, brand and website design, social media management and email marketing.

    Anna has always been creative, but never really knew what her role in the creative industry would look like. AMD has given her a place to constantly challenge her design skills and have the confidence to work through any situation. She loves that every day is different – boredom doesn’t exist!

    If you know Anna, you know she never gives up (and we love that about her). She might not know the answer right away, but she’s learned to push herself to keep working with her team or clients to help them reach their goals. Anna is also very detail-oriented (she never misses a deadline) and her communication skills allow her to be a great asset to a client – you’ll never feel in the dark about any step of your project! Outside of work, Anna enjoys creative projects that don’t involve a computer screen (canvas painting, charcoal drawings and sewing). She also loves to run, workout and plot twist...she aspires to be a DJ!

MEET THE

SOCIAL MEDIA TEAM

  • Director of Content Creation

    Lights. Camera. Bell! As our Social Media Manager, she uses her design, photography and social media experience each day to create ‘scroll-stopping’ content for our clients. Bell preps and plans monthly photoshoots, captures the photography and videography and posts the content. She also engages with comments and messages – slide into the DMs and Bell’s on it.

    As a Gen-Zer, she’s been on social media since she was 12 (you could say she’s an expert). She picked up photography in middle school and graphic design in high school, then went on to graduate with a Bachelors in Graphic Design from the University of Montevallo – and hasn't looked back since.

    Bell loves that she gets to combine her passion for both photography and graphic design into her role at AMD. She also enjoys getting involved in hosting events and meeting with business professionals who work in other fields. She’s incredibly grateful to work at an agency where uplifting women is a core principle and where her growth as an artist is nurtured. When Bell’s not working a camera, she’s working on fiber arts like knitting, crocheting, sewing and pottery!

  • Social Media Strategist

    From big-picture plans to finely tuned campaigns, Emma is all about creating strategies that inspire, connect, and deliver results. With over 7 years of experience in digital marketing, she combines creativity and strategic thinking to help brands and entrepreneurs transform their ideas into impactful, lasting impressions that truly resonate.

    Her journey into marketing took a pivotal turn in 2020 when she shifted from corporate marketing to freelancing. This leap gave Emma the opportunity to work more closely with clients, helping them craft standout strategies and build brands that resonate—and she’s never looked back.

    For Emma, one of the most rewarding aspects of her role is collaborating with the talented and passionate women at AMD. The energy and creativity of the team inspire her and fuel her excitement for every new project!

    When she’s not crafting strategies, you’ll find Emma chasing after her playful Aussie pup, Opal, catching up with friends over cocktails, or indulging in a Sex and the City rewatch (channeling her inner Carrie Bradshaw, of course).

  • Community Manager

    Somer brings connection, creativity, and a whole lot of energy to her role as Community Manager at AMD Creative. She’s all about helping brands build real relationships with their audiences and turning followers into loyal fans through authentic storytelling and everyday engagement that feels personal, not polished.

    Before joining AMD, she worked hands-on with lifestyle and hospitality brands, managing social media, creating campaigns, and learning how to grow communities that actually care. Her favorite part of the job? Seeing those genuine conversations and small moments of connection that make a brand feel human.
    When she’s not online building communities, you’ll probably find her at the gym, on a soccer field, or spending time with her son. Staying grounded, active, and inspired for whatever comes next.

  • Content Creation Specialist

    From her camera to your screen, Kennedy is all about turning creative sparks into captivating content that stops the scroll. As a Content Creator, Kennedy brings creativity and passion to every project, blending social media savvy with videography and editing expertise to produce work that entertains, inspires, and connects.

    Her journey into content creation came with its own plot twist. She began her academic career in environmental science, but a serendipitous videography class in college changed everything. What started as a single assignment turned into a full-fledged creative career. Since then, she’s been perfecting her craft, transforming raw ideas into engaging stories through video and digital platforms.

    Now, Kennedy is in her element, creating content that grabs attention and keeps people coming back for more. Whether it’s a heartwarming short clip, a dynamic brand video, or anything in between, she thrives on the endless possibilities video content offers. When she isn’t behind the camera, you’ll find her diving into a good book, whipping up something sweet in the kitchen, or chasing her next adventure at a cozy coffee shop or live concert.

  • Copywriter

    At AMD Creative, Sarah is your write hand lady (even though she's left handed). As our copywriter, she crafts brand voice guides and writes various kinds of copy, including social captions, blog, website copy, and email newsletters. Her mission? To help your brand stand in its spotlight online. She brings her background in performance and character development to the world of marketing, writing copy that sounds funky, fresh, and a lil profesh.

    Sarah stumbled into copywriting in 2021 when she suddenly had a lot of free time on her hands for some reason... She was mentored by Emma Givens, and has studied with the Copyhackers and Wordfetti. Since then, she’s written for 50+ brands— from arts orgs to death care— and loves digging into an eclectic range of tones of voice.

    When she’s not writing, you can find her watercolouring her fave spots from her travels, learning Italian (beh, ci sta provando), or performing in theatres across Canada.

  • Photographer

    At AMD Creative, Carol brings stories to life through the lens — literally. As a photographer and visual storyteller, she helps brands root their visual identity in strong, emotive imagery that captures both movement and meaning. Her work is all about connection, feeling, and the light that makes every moment worth remembering.

    When she’s not behind the camera, you can find her at The Garage, sipping an Abyssinian from Red Cat, or rewatching Downton Abbey with her Australian Shepherd by her side. Inspired by movement, light, and a good ABBA moment (Mamma Mia, anyone?), she brings warmth and creativity to every project she touches.

    Cody keeps AMD running like a well-oiled machine! As the team’s Online Business Manager, she’s all about creating streamlined processes, managing projects, and making sure operations run like clockwork. Since joining AMD in 2024, Cody has introduced workflows that help the team stay efficient & thriving—she loves being part of a team that values collaboration and growth.

    With eight years of experience in sales, marketing, and technology, Cody discovered her love for client relationship management while working with tools like Microsoft Dynamics and Salesforce for national organizations. She saw the value in crm tools for small business, and has become an operational partner for small and mid-sized businesses to implement and optimize systems that make their work easier and more effective. Helping AMD elevate their processes has been one of her favorite roles yet!

    Based in Toronto, Canada (eh!), Cody feels lucky to work with a global team from her laptop. A Virgo and organization enthusiast, she believes no task is too big with a little prioritization and creativity. When she’s not fine-tuning workflows, you can find her at the gym, diving into a good book, or hunting for the latest hidden gem café or restaurant in the city.
