Our Purpose
Grow strong, layered connections that empower, encourage, and energize.
​
We exist to strategically and creatively nurture relationships at every layer — with our bunch (employees and partners), our clients (who trust us with their brand identities and integrity), and the communities and customers who engage with their work.
​
Because when we grow together, we create marketing and relationships with the public and the media that not only connects, it also cultivates a lasting impact.
Our Values
1. Empowerment First
We empower each other — and our clients — with clarity, confidence, and trust so everyone can grow.
​
2. Honest & Transparent Communication
We speak directly, openly, and with respect for boundaries, creating trust through meaningful conversations and reliable action.
​
3. Encourage Authenticity Always
We show up as our true selves and respect others for doing the same — because real connection drives real impact.
​
4. Respect in Action
We honor people, ideas, and perspectives (even when they differ), knowing that collaboration thrives on respect.
​
5. Energize Possibility
We bring fresh energy, creativity, and clever approaches to spark new ideas and next-layer results.

Why We Do What We Do
A podcast host got on our owner/CEO’s calendar to see if Michele, her story, our business is a good fit for his show. When asked what sets Green Onion Creative apart from other agencies, she explained:
“There are a lot of creative and strategic marketing and public/media relations firms that offer the same services. But how we approach:
-
Our purpose
-
Our services
-
Our structure
-
Our relationships
-
Our transparency
-
Our bunch of employees
No other agency does it our way. Our clients pay for the value Green Onion Creative adds to their brands, campaigns, awareness and engagement, the customer service and level of care that only I can give … that Claire can give … that Emory and Chloe and Megan can give … don’t forget Eric and Angela, too. That is what makes Green Onion Creative special.”
Before the video chat ended, the host scheduled the formal interview with Michele. Link to come soon!
