JANUARY 2026
And just like that, a new year is here! How’s everyone feeling? Hopefully, you’re still in vacation mode with that OOO email on. If you’re a planner like us, you might already be mapping out your month. As we reflect on the year behind us, we’re still beaming from all the connections made and goals achieved.
Here’s to a fresh chapter filled with growth, collaboration, and exciting opportunities. Let’s dive into this month’s lineup of events and make 2026 one for the books!

January’s Honorable Mention: Moxie Made

MEET MOXIE MADE
We’re here to help you shape the vibe people get when they think of you or your business, because it’s way more than just a logo. At the heart of what we do is this simple idea: taking your cool idea and helping more people see the magic in it and you.
Founded in 2019 by Hayley Kruth, a Kentucky native with a background in PR, branding, and marketing (and a serious hustle mindset), Moxie Made began as a one-woman leap of faith. After juggling multiple jobs, grad school, and planning a wedding, Hayley decided it was time to build something of her own. What started as helping clients market their businesses quickly evolved into a deeper passion: helping small businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs take what makes them special and turn it into brands that feel aligned, confident, and unmistakably them.
Today, Moxie Made works with clients in a few key ways. From full brand creation and rebrands, to strategic brand messaging and positioning, to ongoing quarterly marketing support for businesses that need consistent guidance, we meet you where you are and help you move forward with intention.
In short: we don’t just design brands. We help you build something that lasts, feels good to stand behind, and shows up the way you’ve always known it could.
