Hi, I’m Holly—music therapist, small business owner, digital marketing strategist, and someone who understands firsthand the challenges of running a local service-based business.
My journey into the world of marketing didn’t start in a boardroom—it started in a Kindermusik classroom over two decades ago. In 2002, after falling in love with the program as a parent, I began teaching Kindermusik and officially launched my own studio, Grow and Sing Studios, in 2005. Over the years, my studio grew into one of the top Kindermusik programs worldwide, earning recognition year after year. I was honored as a Kindermusik Brand Ambassador and joined Kindermusik International as a University Coach, helping educators across the globe build their own successful businesses.
But growing a business wasn’t easy. I started out the old-school way—mailing flyers, handing out coupons, setting up booths at community events—doing anything I could to reach parents who might love my classes. Over time, I realized that digital marketing, particularly Google and Facebook Ads, could be a game-changer.
Like many small business owners, I tried to hire a digital ads manager, only to discover the pricing was completely out of reach. Agencies wanted not only a hefty fee for their services but also a percentage of my ad spend, which made scaling my ads unsustainable. I knew there had to be a better way.
So, I took matters into my own hands.
I invested in courses, tested strategies, and fine-tuned my approach—learning everything I could about running effective, budget-friendly digital ads. I focused specifically on what works for small, local service-based businesses like mine. And it worked. My business continues to thrive, and along the way, fellow business owners started asking for my help.
In 2023, I was invited to speak at the Kindermusik International Conference, where I presented on successful social media strategies to a packed room of educators. The response was overwhelming, and it became clear that small business owners—especially those with limited budgets—needed straightforward, effective digital marketing support. I decided to onboard some ads clients and their results have been amazing.Â
That’s how Savvy Ads by Holly was born.
I officially launched my business in January 2025, offering flat-rate ad campaign management, affordable monthly monitoring, and personalized 1:1 coaching. No hidden fees. No percentages of ad spend. Just smart, strategic advertising that helps small businesses grow—without breaking the bank.
I’m also a wife, mom, musician, and entrepreneur. My daughter, Anna, is a musician, composer, and author, and my son Aiden is thriving in college. My husband and I also run FunBox Photos, a photo booth business in Central Florida. We love building businesses that bring people together, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve created.
Now, I’d love to help you do the same. Whether you need a high-performing ad campaign, ongoing optimization, or just some coaching to help you feel confident running ads yourself, I’m here to make digital marketing feel simple, exciting, and effective.
Let’s grow your business together.
