Chirpy was born from a fiery spark in the founder (me), Haley Carpenter.

After a long history of working at top companies in the digital industry and experiencing a lot of personal growth over the years, I was tired of not being able to spread my wings and fly how I wanted to every day. Ultimately, I had a calling to do something more authentic to myself, so I decided to create something different believing it would resonate with others as well. Hence, Chirpy was born.

Throughout my career, I have seen too many people have unpleasant or mediocre experiences with agencies knowing it doesn’t have to be this way. It’s often due to one or more of the following reasons: communication, project management, expertise, transparency, or billing. Why does this happen so much? I believe it is because these companies’ internal cultures are not agile, direct, humble, or knowledgeable enough to quickly recognize and address problems at their roots. However, as a client you would never know this until it is too late because of their knack for making big promises; many of which are never fulfilled.

Furthermore, this industry cultivates company cultures that aren’t beneficial to clients, even if a company looks like they’re different on the outside. Many people are promoted based on tenure, not merit (if it’s a really toxic culture, then gender and other demographics are also a factor). The barriers to entry and bars for success are extremely low. Consequences for underperforming are often low. You might say it’s unlike a lot of other professions.

I was tired of the shenanigans (these norms, chasing job titles, having my destiny semi-controlled by others, and being told what to do by many who shouldn’t be dictating anything) and my dream was to be an entrepreneur anyway. Being the Type A I am, I ripped the bandaid off to leave a salary and comfort and start a business.

I was (and am) determined to break the mold and think outside the box. Heck, I always want to smash boxes. So now I’m here, hashing out whatever it takes to run a top-notch business. There’s a no bullsh*t attitude, inspired by my personality and work with Nordic teammates for a while.

Know that if you pick Chirpy, I’ll get you where you want to go and sprinkle in some fun while we do it. I’m glad you’re here. #stayChirpy
