About Taylor Carr

I love bringing ideas to life—whether it’s opening a store, rolling out a campaign, creating a video, or pulling off an event that actually gets people talking. I’ve led marketing strategies across retail and small brands, built out campaign calendars that work across channels, and collaborated with teams to create content that feels real and connects with the right audience.I care about creating experiences people actually remember. From big seasonal pushes to community-based activations, I like work that builds a connection and gets results. I’m always learning, adjusting, and figuring out how to make the next thing better than the last.In addition to my work in marketing, I co-founded Surfing with Smiles, a nonprofit that teaches individuals with disabilities how to surf. It’s been 15+ years of dedication and volunteering my time, but it’s been one of the most rewarding parts of my life.I\'m a hard worker and entrepreneurial at heart. I care about the details, the story, and the people behind the brand.
