Get to Know Ashly
Ashly is the Brand Marketing Manager for the Dallas PrideStaff Family of Brands. In this role, she has the privilege of working with an incredible team, supporting their efforts by increasing their digital visibility in a competitive market. She shares their story and highlights the amazing work they do, helping more people discover how exceptional they truly are.
How did she get to where she is today? Isn’t that always the most interesting part of getting to know someone? Ashly’s journey has been non-traditional, something she takes great pride in, thanks to some of the most amazing mentors along the way. Her passion for what she does began in high school, although she didn’t realize it at the time. One teacher, Mrs. Doyle, recognized her talent for design, coding, and storytelling in the digital space, even when she didn’t.
After high school, Ashly’s journey took a pause to start a family. During that time, she discovered her love for the digital world, in addition to raising her children. She decided to pursue a degree in Graphic Communications and Marketing, which only deepened her passion. While working for her alma mater high school, Ashly developed an online learning platform and curriculum for a new middle school, which quickly led her into the marketing department. That experience gave her the confidence to take a leap into new opportunities.
This leap took her from food trend analysis and marketing to planning and development in her community, eventually leading to an opportunity to hold office. It was during this time that Ashly met two of the most influential people in her career, Leal Montgomery and James Gordon. These mentors opened the door for her to spend the last 10 years in Political Marketing, focusing on grassroots initiatives. Eventually, Ashly was ready for the next step in her career, which brought her to PrideStaff after life changes led her family to Texas.
What else is there to know about Ashly? She’s married to her high school sweetheart, and they’ve raised three young men who are currently living their best years in college right here in East Texas. Whatever her free time brings, it always includes these wonderful men. She’s also a dog mom, an avid off-roader, a Halloween enthusiast, a traveler, and a historic home restorer. Ashly is rarely still or at “rest” because life is too short, and she has too much she wants to do. She’s truly passionate about everything she does, whether it’s work or one of her many adventures. There’s no clear line between her work and her personal interests—both are done with her unique flair. Whether she’s working on a large campaign or building her next Halloween setup, you’ll see it done with the same enthusiasm.
Ashly is also a proud member of the American Advertising Federation (AAF-East Texas) and Historic Tyler, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving historic sites and structures.
