Today we’d like to introduce you to Savannah Garth.
Hi Savannah, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started on my own, working from my kitchen table, taking on projects wherever I could, and learning everything as I went. At the time, I wasn’t trying to build an agency. I was simply helping people who needed clarity, creativity, and support in their marketing.
As word spread, so did the business. One client led to another, referrals became consistent, and what started as small projects quickly grew into full-scale brand, website, and marketing partnerships. Along the way, I leaned into education, constantly expanding my skill set across branding, web design, social media, SEO, and paid advertising. Every “yes” forced me to grow, and every challenge helped shape how I work today.
Growth didn’t happen overnight, and it wasn’t always tidy. I balanced motherhood, life changes, and entrepreneurship at the same time, learning how to build something sustainable instead of something that burned me out. That season taught me how important systems, boundaries, and intention really are — not just for business, but for life.
Today, Poppy Rose Marketing is a multi-state boutique agency serving clients across Georgia, Virginia, and Texas. I’ve built a small team and a business rooted in connection, strategy, and thoughtful storytelling. What hasn’t changed from the beginning is the heart behind it — helping people feel seen, supported, and confident in their brand.
Looking back, I’m proud that the business grew organically, through relationships and trust. It’s been a journey of learning, adapting, and believing in myself even when the path wasn’t clear and that’s what brought me here.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road and I don’t think it’s supposed to be. Building Poppy Rose Marketing came with a lot of learning curves, especially in the early days. I wore every hat, said yes too often, and learned the hard way what burnout feels like when passion outpaces structure.
One of the biggest struggles was learning to trust myself. Imposter syndrome showed up often, particularly as the business grew and the clients became larger and more complex. There were moments where I questioned whether I was “ready” for the level I was stepping into, even though I had already done the work to get there.
Another challenge was balancing growth with life. I built much of this business during seasons of motherhood and personal transition, which forced me to rethink productivity, boundaries, and what success actually looks like. I had to learn that growth doesn’t always mean doing more — sometimes it means doing things differently.
There were also very real business challenges — setting pricing that reflected the value of my work, learning when to say no, navigating difficult client situations, and shifting from a solo operator into a leader who builds systems and supports a team. None of that came naturally at first, but each challenge strengthened the foundation of the business.
Looking back, those struggles were necessary. They taught me resilience, clarity, and confidence. The road wasn’t smooth, but it was honest — and every obstacle helped shape Poppy Rose Marketing into something sustainable, thoughtful, and deeply aligned with who I am today.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
PRM is a boutique creative and marketing agency that helps businesses build brands that feel aligned, intentional, and effective. My work spans branding and visual identity, website design and development, social media strategy and management, SEO, paid advertising, and marketing consulting. While the services are wide-ranging, the goal is always the same — to create clarity, confidence, and consistency for the businesses I work with.
I’m especially known for translating a business owner’s vision into something tangible. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to communicate what makes them different. I take the time to truly understand who they are, what they offer, and who they want to reach, then build marketing systems that tell that story in a way that feels natural and sustainable.
What I’m most proud of is the trust my clients place in me. Many relationships turn into long-term partnerships, referrals, and collaborations, and that means everything to me. I’m proud that the agency has grown organically through relationships rather than aggressive sales tactics. That speaks to the experience we deliver and the results we help create.
What sets Poppy Rose Marketing apart is the balance of strategy and heart. I care deeply about performance and data, but I never lose sight of the human side of marketing. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Every brand, every website, and every campaign is custom-built with intention, creativity, and purpose. Clients aren’t just another project — they’re people trusting me with something they’ve worked hard to build.
At the end of the day, I’m most proud of building a business that feels aligned with my values. One that supports growth without burnout, creativity without chaos, and success without sacrificing authenticity.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
The world of marketing and brand strategy is evolving faster than ever, and the next decade will be defined by deeper personalization, authentic storytelling, and smarter use of technology — all centered around human connection.
First, authenticity will continue to dominate. Audiences are no longer impressed by flashy campaigns or generic content. They want brands that feel real, transparent, and aligned with their values. Businesses that invest in telling their unique story — instead of following every trend — will be the ones that build lasting relationships with customers.
Data and strategy will become even more intertwined with creativity. Marketing is no longer “art” or “science” — it’s both. Analytics will continue to inform decisions, but the most successful brands will be the ones that use that data to fuel creative strategies that resonate emotionally. This means smarter content, stronger personalization, and campaigns that feel less like advertising and more like conversation.
Technology — especially AI — is a game changer, and we’ve only scratched the surface of what it can do. AI will streamline repetitive tasks, help optimize campaigns, and even assist with content creation, but it won’t replace human perspective. Instead, it will free marketers to focus more on strategy, storytelling, and relationship-building — the things machines can’t replicate.
Community over reach is another shift I see becoming foundational. Brands will move away from chasing broad visibility and toward cultivating loyal communities — audiences that engage deeply, advocate naturally, and feel personally connected to the brand. This means prioritizing value over virality, impact over impressions.
Sustainability and values-driven business will shape buying decisions. Consumers increasingly choose brands that reflect their beliefs. Purpose-driven marketing won’t be a trend — it’ll be expected.
Overall, the industry will become more human-centered, more strategy-led, more tech-enhanced, and more values-driven. The brands that thrive will be the ones that don’t just sell a product or service, but build trust — consistently, creatively, and with intention.
