Meet Ashley — the founder of Ashley Nicole Social Co., a Connecticut-based Social Media Marketing Company created to help brands stand out, connect with their audience, and grow with purpose.

 

What began as side businesses throughout childhood, evolved into launching a photography company with her best friend back in high school — one she’s proudly maintained for 15 years.

 

Her very first venture? A chocolate company called Chocolates From the Heart — most of her “clients” were family and friends, but it fueled a spark that never went away. Gourmet-chocolate covered cherries, Mint patties and Reese cups? It was the real deal! 

 

Around that same time, she would race home from school every day to watch The Oprah Winfrey Show at 4pm. This show changed the trajectory of interviewing and the way we connect with stories - from that moment on Ashley was hooked. Oprah’s gift of captivating her audience while always bringing truth and authenticity is what inspired Ashley to forever tell people’s truth, be raw and authentic, while holding their professional visions in business and storytelling to light.

 

After years of balancing her photography career and the corporate world, Ashley left it behind to pursue her best journey yet: Ashley Nicole Social Co. Today, it’s not just photography — it’s a full social media management company. With her creative eye for visual storytelling and deep understanding of audience connection, she partners with interior designers, builders, restaurants, and more — crafting scroll-stopping content that is aesthetic, authentic, and true to who they are.

 

Whether she’s behind the camera or behind a brand, Ashley’s work is rooted in creativity, curiosity, and a love for storytelling.
