Helping
Good Causes Look Great
Your mission deserves more than good intentions and “someday maybe.”
We design logos, branding, communications, and marketing strategies that help non-profits, local governments, cultural sites, and museums do what they do best: attract more supporters, secure more funding, and serve their communities better.
Because when your work matters this much, your designs should too.

4 steps
to success
1 Research
We dig deeper. Before we design a single pixel, we study your audience, analyze your competition, and uncover what makes your cause click. No assumptions, no cookie-cutter solutions—just data-driven insights that inform everything we create.
2 Strategy
Armed with research, we craft a roadmap that actually leads somewhere. We identify the SEO and AIO that matter, the messages that resonate, the platforms that connect, and the tactics that turn awareness into action. Think of it as your marketing GPS, minus the annoying voice telling you to make a U-turn.
3 Design
This is where strategy gets stunning. We create visuals and campaigns that don't just look good in your boardroom—they perform in the real world. Every color choice, font selection, and layout decision is made with your goals in mind. (Psst: We have a knack for a brand refresh, taking what you have and brightening it up.)
4 Tracking the Results
We measure what matters. Feedback, open rates, conversions, donations, event attendance—we track the metrics that impact your mission. Then we optimize, adjust, and improve, because good marketing gets better with age. No vanity metrics here.
The Brightstocking Team
We're a women-owned and operated design and marketing firm with one specialty: helping organizations and government agencies amplify their impact.
Our core team is Ashley Trexler (strategy director) and Beegee Tolpa (creative director). But we have all sorts of people, like a proofreader, a photographer, a social media expert, and yes—an archaeologist/historian for when you need someone who really knows how to dig deep (pun obviously intended).
With experience, we've learned that the best campaigns are built on solid foundations, whether you're promoting community or feeding families.
Case Studies
Town of Bluffton
As one of the fastest-growing towns in South Carolina, Bluffton has residents unfamiliar with how the Town and local government operate. We researched, wrote, and designed this Town of Bluffton Resident Resource Guide.
Coastal Discovery Museum
This beloved Hilton Head SC museum was in need of a brand refresh to help showcase its intrinsic value and place in the community. Nature, history and art all come together in this elegant, new yet classic look.
Colleton River Collegiate
The Colleton River Collegiate had been running and raising money for local Beaufort & Jasper county charities for thirteen years. It was time for a brand refresh — and website!
And The Crowd Goes Wild
"WOWZA!"
