Maris Founder Kayleigh Hally spent her childhood on the coast of North Carolina alongside her three salty-haired siblings. The ocean defined her upbringing and now fuels her creative spirit. She has spent her career leading marketing and communications for brands like Yelp, The Hoxton, Babylon Health, Surgo Health, and more, never losing sight of her connection to the sea and her passion for telling the stories of those shaping our tomorrow.
Maris bloomed from a quiet yearning to amplify the visions and voices changing the world. In the vibrant energy of New York City, where Kayleigh spent a decade crafting meaningful stories for tech giants and boutique hotels, she discovered her passion for collaborative creativity. It's in this deeper, human layer where storytellers and visionary leaders unite to build the brands leading us towards a brighter, happier future. Maris Collective bridges these realms, connecting passionate strategists, communicators, and creators with purpose-centered brands to create transformative waves of change. We weave expert guidance, fresh perspectives, dynamic storytelling, and seamless execution into a cohesive force designed to maximize impact and create lasting legacies.
