SC Creative | Atlanta-Based Brand Design and Digital Marketing Agency

Big Strategy for Small Business

Helping Small Businesses and Creative Brands Find Success Online

Hi, I’m Simone Cheri!

Brand Strategist. Graphic Designer.

Consultant. Ecommerce Founder.

As a Brand Strategist, Graphic and Web Designer for the last 8 years, my background is founded in public relations, but I’ve been blessed to have a colorful career overseeing large scale experiential consumer events, managing national brand campaigns with corporate and independently-owned brands, and eventually making my way into digital both in corporate and the agency world.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with major brands including MillerCoors, African Pride Hair Care, Jim Ellis Automotive Group & more. Some would describe me as resourceful, competent, qualified, fun-loving and creative (seriously, their words not mine). I’m a proud native of Wilmington, NC, and a graduate of both the University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks!) and Savannah College of Art & Design. In 2016, longing for my own voice as an artist, I started a lifestyle brand featuring products that celebrate black excellence and black girl magic. Since its founding, we’ve cultivated an amazing community of customers across the country and graced the digital and print pages of Essence, HuffPost, Hello Beautiful and Bossip.

My goal as a Brand Strategy Consultant & Designer is to serve as a knowledgeable, experienced resource on YOUR team. A champion of your brand and the marketing arm of your business. Once we’ve made the decision that my services are a good fit for your branding, marketing or design needs, you will no longer feel the burden of having to do it all. You can focus on what matters — selling your products and services, positively impacting your community and building a loyal base of engaged consumers.

How I Help Small Businesses and Creative Brands

Brand Identity Design

Looking to launch a new business, product or service? Needing to refresh or rebrand altogether?

For many SCCG clients that looks like:

Visual Identity Design (logo, fonts, colors, etc.)
Well-Defined Brand Purpose, Promise and Mission
Unique Brand Positioning
Clarity on How to Prepare for a Successful Launch

You’ll walk away with clear messaging on what makes your business unique, tapping into your brand voice and creating a brand identity that sets you apart from your competitors and attracts the kind of customers you’ll want to write home to mom about.

WordPress Website Design

For 7 years, we’ve worked with clients to identify their business’s needs, and the needs of their customers, to design websites that are visually engaging, effectively communicate their brand message, products or services, and are built using a system clients can manage themselves without the need to learn code or having to depend on a professional to make simple updates (although we LOVE our long-term and recurring clients, and are always happy to work with them again).

Not your average web design experience:

Let’s tell your brand story with clarity and make sure what you’re offering is available and easily accessible for your audience
We work together to ensure your website contains the features, integrations and lead capturing tools you’ll need to be successful
Clients receive user training at the end of each project to manage day-to-day site updates and minor changes

Establish your online credibility while growing your business and the opportunities that come your way by launching a beautifully-branded, responsive website designed with your target audience experience at the center of everything we’ll do.

Digital Marketing Strategy

Not sure where to start? You could spend hours researching, sitting in on webinars, and comparing software solutions — or, we can build a comprehensive marketing strategy that’s tailored to YOUR business and YOUR goals specifically. That may look like:

Email Marketing Strategy + Automation
Content Marketing Strategy
Reputation Management (Client/Customer Reviews)
Software Integration & Training
Experienced support to answer questions and provide strategic guidance

Get the support you need to make more informed digital marketing decisions, implement marketing automation systems that save you time and shorten your to-do list, and serve as on-going or as-needed support in growing your business.

A Few Client Projects To Be Proud Of

Clients Love Working with Us Because...

Seeing Your Business Thrive is Why This Matters

(Especially During These Times)

The need for a strong online presence is more vital than ever, and providing a great digital experience has become essential for every business. Our new is normal is digital. It’s meeting the people that want to connect with your business in their homes, cars, or standing in line at the store.

For some clients, they don’t know what they need on their website, let alone how to go about building it. My expertise (and the awesome support staff I work with) fills in the gap. Working with a marketing and design professional isn’t about simply taking your content and dumping it into an existing template — it’s about meeting customers with the information, brand experience, resources, products, and services they came to YOUR business to do business with.

It’s your digital footprint, and I care about helping you put your best foot forward.

MORE THAN JUST CLIENTS

Helping Small Businesses Means Helping Our Community

Simone was instrumental in helping take my e-commerce business from initial conception through launch. I met her through a referral and have used her consulting and design services over the course of a few months. I was impressed with the valuable insights from her own success and lessons learned she shared with me in our very first meeting. Simone also made herself available for sporadic quick chats when needed. She is passionate about helping others succeed. I am so grateful to have had her as a helpful hand and a sounding board during this process. I could not have done this without her!

Dana, Singles Culture

Working with Simone has been one of the most enjoyable experiences in my 20+ years of owning businesses. Considering what she’s done for my business, and having worked with some of the best and brightest, I’d put her work up against any major marketing and design professional. Excellent with follow up and follow through, refreshing to work with. Love my website and graphics... I always look forward to engaging her in my new projects.

Jimmy, Match Bar & Oven

Working with Simone was a pleasure. Her level of technical expertise far exceeded our expectations. She also possesses superb customer service skills and that helped a lot as we worked on developing the content. I would work with Simone again in a heartbeat and refer her to others who want a professional product with a personal touch.

Ro, Land of Promise Church

Recently I contacted SC Creative Group to design the website for F Yo Couch Series. She was the best to work with. She was professional… answered all my questions in a timely manner and emailed me, which was very important for me and helped me stay organized. She was QUICK! She gave me a timeline of when the website would be done and it was done on time. She was thorough! She created excels sheets for me to list all of my site updates. Whenever she updated the request I was notified. If she was unable to get something done she informed me of alternative solutions. She made my site SEO friendly. This was really important to me. She created follow-up meetings. We have one coming up even after the site is already live. I'm impressed and happy with the site.
