Paper Dingo Creative (PDC) is a Midwest creative agency with a passion for helping small businesses grow through digital marketing. We specialize in quick-deploy landing pages, organic and paid social media, and graphic design. I’m Ashley, the owner of PDC, and I started this company alongside my partner, Chris Savage, in May of 2021.
Even though there are just two of us, our team has more than 15 years of experience in journalism, marketing, and graphic design. This has allowed us to assemble a diverse set of tools to serve small businesses in East Central Indiana and beyond. While our primary work is in websites, social media, and graphic design, we also provide services for email marketing, digital advertising, branding, and traditional marketing.
My educational background is in journalism and creative writing with master’s work in media analytics and management. I have worked as a copywriter, graphic designer, social media manager, and senior marketing manager, before launching Paper Dingo Creative.
I have a professional passion for branding and how social media enhances company identities. I am a member of Cardinal Success BNI and the Social Media Marketing Society. When work is over, I can be found tending my indoor garden, posting Stories to Instagram, or watching reruns of Law & Order SVU for the millionth time.
Chris is my co-founder and graphic/web designer at Paper Dingo Creative. His education is in graphics arts management and computer science. Professionally, he’s worked as a print-house manager, graphic designer, digital media manager, and website developer. We actually met while working for the same company on its editorial team.
Chris has a passion for knowing how and why things work the way they do. When he’s not working, he can be found tinkering in the garage, exploring new technologies, or helping lead the local Google Developers Group.
We are the “parents” of three fur children: Kylo, Oscar, and Chris the Cat …. Yes Chris. He was a medical rescue and had that name when we brought him home. Kylo and Oscar (our pitties) are also rescues. We found Kylo outside our house one day with no one to claim him. And Oscar was a foster failure. Each of them have very big, very different personalities and they help keep life exciting!
Our favorite things are being outdoors and traveling. We spend summers camping, hiking, and kayaking. West is our favorite direction to travel and, while we prefer the great outdoors, natural beauty, and openness, we have a huge soft spot for Las Vegas and can’t get enough of it. Our dream is to one day (soon) have an RV so we can explore the whole United States at our leisure.
Locally, we enjoy craft beer and wineries, live entertainment, and discoveries off the beaten path. We’ve learned that you don’t have to travel too far to find new adventures.
