Your Creative Partners
Brandy Clark
Brandy’s passion for marketing took off 15 years ago when she built the website and social media for Clark’s Pump-n-Shop, and she’s been helping brands grow ever since. She’s the former Tourism Director of Visit Ashland, where she grew the brand identity of “Create with Us!”, helped the city earn SOAR’s City of the Year in 2023, and grow their online presence form scratch to over a million impressions a month. She serves on several regional boards, helped launch an international sci-fi film fest, and was once accused of having toxic positivity. Brandy’s a KY Colonel, cat mom to Holly & Jan, and probably knows every word to The Office. She believes in hard work, great stories and maybe even aliens!
Managing Director
Madeline Tipton
Madeline leads all things brand strategy and design at Five & Dime. Her creative approach brings big-picture vision and meaningful details to create strategic brands people truly connect with. Since launching her first business, The Tipton Creative, in 2021, she’s worked on over 90 mural and design projects. She has picked up a few honors along the way, including Young Entrepreneur of the Year, BRIGHT KY alum, and Invest 606 finalist. She’s passionate about helping businesses achieve their goals by attracting their target audience, and creating community identities alongside tourism and economic development initiatives. Madeline has an impressive ongoing hot dog ranking featuring 18 establishments, never turns down a dirty chai, loves a good craft and will 100% show you pictures of her cats.
Creative Director & Brand Specialist
Courtney is our biggest ray of sunshine at Five & Dime! When you book a discovery call, she is the first person you meet. She is our emotional support person, and leads client relationships, bringing warmth, encouragement and creative energy to every project. With a background in tourism and public relations, she’s passionate about making people feel genuinely included and supported, whether through copywriting or strategy.
Outside of work, Courtney is a wife and mom who never turns down a cold brew, no matter the weather, and believes if it’s pink, its perfect!

Behind the Name
Five & Dime Creative’s name was inspired by our studio’s location, a historic GC Murphy building in Downtown Ashland, Kentucky. This popular Five & Dime store was once a community pillar, and now it serves as the home to our creative agency. Great storytelling is shaped by an understanding of not only where we’re going, but where we’ve come from as well. With that in mind, we’re proud to share in this part of Ashland’s history by giving the building new and exciting life through Five & Dime Creative.
We continue this legacy by serving Eastern Kentucky and the Tri-State area with memorable marketing and creative services that create impact and drive results.
