I'm Courtney Caldwell, and I started Ocean State Creative because I got tired of watching businesses overpay for marketing that sounds like it was written by a committee.

I spent years managing social media, running web marketing, and building online communities back when brands were still figuring out that talking at people on the internet doesn't work. You had to actually listen, be a real human, and know your audience better than they know themselves. That's still how I operate.

These days I help businesses, authors, and founders figure out what their story actually is — and then get it in front of the people who need to hear it. Whether that's a social strategy, a website that doesn't make people's eyes glaze over, or a PR push that lands real coverage, I keep things simple, direct, and effective.

I'm based in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and I wouldn't have it any other way. If you're looking for a massive agency with a dozen account managers and a lot of jargon, I'm not your person. If you want someone who picks up the phone, gets the work done, and actually cares whether it works — let's talk.
