The Faces Behind High Tide Marketing Co.

Welcome to High Tide Marketing Co! We are SO happy you are here.

Let’s start at the beginning!

It was March 2020 and the world was shutting down with COVID-19. Brick-and-mortar shops were closing unexpectedly for an indefinite amount of time and many had no online social presences. Katey was finishing her senior year of university (from home) and knew that she needed to help in any way she could.

In April 2020, she onboarded her first social media client. Since then, she has worked with small business owners in a variety of industries - fashion, real estate, skincare, hospitality, assisted living and more - and hasn’t looked back since! In 2021, Peyton and Katey were married in Nashville and pivoted to a team approach.

Peyton is the backbone of Katey’s digital marketing agency, providing essential support behind the scenes. With a strong focus on client outreach and B2B sales, Peyton helps drive business growth while ensuring smooth operations. His expertise in building relationships and securing partnerships allows Katey to focus solely on creative strategy and execution!

Small businesses are the backbone of our community and we love using digital marketing to share them with the world.

MEET THE TRACYS

We live in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida with our son and our two pups.

MEET KATEY

  • Betty White laughed at me when I was in high school and it still is my proudest moment ever

  • I lived in and learned to surf in the ‘Shark Bite Capital of the World’ and my only injury was a jellyfish sting

  • I hate coffee; my go-to order is an iced chai with oat milk and a splash of vanilla if I’m feeling crazy

  • Favorite U.S. Vacation: Montana

  • Favorite International Vacation: Mexico

  • I work in social media full time and run a photography business on the weekends

  • My ideal Sunday consists of snuggling my baby, taking a pilates class and spending the afternoon at the beach

MEET PEYTON

  • I flew an airplane!

  • Football is my favorite sport, baseball is a close second - I may have been named after Peyton Manning

  • Proud to say that I have ran a mile backwards (and in less than 10 minutes!)

  • My go-to coffee order is a black coffee, dark roast

  • I have six siblings

  • My favorite TV show is The Rookie

  • I call our son ‘Rooster’ so you’ll always find me wearing something with a farm animal
