Our Values
Put yourself in their shoes.
The more we understand each other, the more we will be able to help one another — our clients and their communities.
Value imagination.
We dare to dig into the creative corners of the brain and remain open to new methods and strategies on how we approach solutions.
Keep it collaborative.
Collaboration ensures unique perspectives and fresh ideas are always in the mix. We value it internally, but also externally with our client. Together, we’ll work to create a product everyone can be proud of.
Curiosity killed the cat, not the marketer.
We learn, grow, and keep up with the evolving digital landscape through asking questions and seeking all possibilities in order to serve our clients the best way we can.

Why Butta?
We Understand You
We understand the struggles that come with creating marketing that engages audiences and grows over time: lack of time, knowledge, and personnel.
Butta helps business and marketing teams say, "Bye, Felicia" to those barriers and becomes the support you need to see successful digital growth.
Industry Expertise
Butta is a dynamic duo with marketing experience in various industries including non-profit, banking, music & entertainment, and technology.
We are the perfect pairing of creative and strategic minds that make every dollar you spend worth it.
Authenticity + Empathy
As Black women, we are the pulse of popular culture and empathetic action, yet we are historically excluded from brand target markets.
Our ideas are based on a natural authenticity to want better for everyone in a way that's feasible, with finesse.
