Our Story
Stripes Social was an idea born out of a marketing project involving Sarah and Shannon's personal social media pages in Amanda's marketing class. We discovered a need amongst local business owners to help create and sell out exciting events. Just as "the sum is better than the parts," we knew that bringing together all of our connections (from former athletes to influencers and local businesses) would benefit our entire community. We help plan, populate, execute, and market events that are geared towards exposure, influence, and positive publicity.

We love meeting like-minded individuals like ourselves who have an interest in promoting local businesses.
