HAVEN Creative - In 2022, We Are Grateful for…

We have always had an attitude of gratitude at HAVEN Creative®. Seriously, our HAVEN Mavens™ begin each day in a virtual team huddle, sharing what we are most grateful for on that particular day. Since gratitude takes up such a significant space in our company culture, we felt it was necessary to share some of what HAVEN Creative® is grateful for in 2022.

You can bet we have a flock to be grateful for…

We Expanded Our Flock

This year, HAVEN has seen massive growth as we welcomed three new HAVEN Mavens™! Gemma, Joanna, and Sam joined our flock and Maven Opal took on her own adventurous, fun life in 2022.

HAVEN Maven Opal Passport

Maven Gemma comes from experience in marketing and communications, but her true joy lies in graphic design. Her favorite part about being a Maven is the community of support and knowledge-sharing that HAVEN provides. Maven Joanna, who has a background in visual art and social media marketing, is incredibly grateful for the supportive environment and shared core values at HAVEN Creative®. Maven Sam holds experience in marketing, business management, and public relations. She enjoys working with the incredibly supportive team of mavens and is excited that HAVEN has provided her with more writing opportunities.

It’s an ostrich! Maven Opal was born as HAVEN leaned into our voice & personality, AKA Ian is allowed to use a flock ton of bird puns for work. When she wasn’t fulfilling her role as the Branding Maven, Opal traveled all over. She explored Iceland, Arizona, Hawaii, Boston, Florida, Topsail Beach, NC, and Outer Banks, NC. Who said the ostrich was a flightless bird?

EOS Official

In 2022, HAVEN partnered with an EOS coach to challenge the team and help bring the process and goals to the next level. For those who may not be familiar, EOS is the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) which integrates a complete set of simple tools and a proven process to produce powerful business results. We even have a badge on our website that displays that commitment to EOS. Pretty cool if you ask us.

EOS Fact

EOA Graduate

After four years in the EO Accelerator Program (Entrepreneurs’ Organization program, the catalyst that enables first-stage entrepreneurs to catapult their business to the next level), Maven Jeni officially graduated as HAVEN surpassed the $1MM in revenue goal in June 2022.

New Clients, Who Dis?

As any company knows, maintaining your client list is incredibly important for your brand’s health. We were lucky enough to expand ours this year.

In 2022, HAVEN Creative® partnered with WARN Industries as a client. WARN is an industry leader in the automotive world, manufacturing the very best winches, bumpers, and accessories. WARN’s products are designed, engineered, and tested for reliability, durability, and the love of off-roading.

One of our latest projects has been rebranding the Town of Maiden, here in North Carolina. The project scope included designing a new logo, identifying its archetype, defining its brand story, and much more. Their new brand is unveiling in December 2022 and we cannot wait to share it.

A Decade of Gratitude

This year marks ten years in business for HAVEN Creative®! A decade ago, Maven Jeni invested in a laptop to pursue marketing work on her own, and thus HAVEN Creative was created. Since then, we have been helping clients identify and implement their why, voice, and branding.

Looking towards the future, Jeni is grateful for the opportunities to come, including joining Entrepreneurs Organization (EO), which will enable her to expand her global network and pursue her passion for impacting communities worldwide. Here is to another decade of making mavens!
