Hello!
I’m Taylor Haney, the heart and drive behind Clutch Chick Media LLC. With a passion for storytelling through visuals and text, I’ve built a career that spans over eight years, leveraging my skills in graphic design, photography, and digital marketing to craft compelling brand narratives.
I launched my journey with a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design and a minor in Studio Art Photography from Lynchburg College, where I not only honed my artistic skills but also earned accolades for my creative projects, like the "Best In Show" at the Senior Student Art Show and multiple ADDY Awards for my innovative designs.
My professional path has been diverse and enriching. Starting as a graphic designer, I quickly realized the power of digital media and shifted my focus towards email marketing and content creation. Working with brands like Hoonigan Industries and Wheel Pros, I have crafted and led email marketing campaigns that resulted in a staggering 308% increase in subscriber engagement, utilizing platforms like Klaviyo to maximize impact.
In April 2024, I transformed my years of freelance experience into a formal venture, founding Clutch Chick Media LLC. This business is my canvas where I blend my expertise in automotive photography, graphic design, and digital marketing to support the automotive industry's vibrant and dynamic narrative.
At Clutch Chick Media, we specialize in capturing the essence of speed and competition through motorsport and sporting event photography, creating stunning visual content that tells a story. Our graphic design services are tailored to meet the needs of racers and sponsors alike, from hero cards to sponsorship proposals. And with a knack for words, our copywriting and journalism offerings ensure your message hits home with your audience.
Every project is a new adventure, and every client’s vision is a new story waiting to be told. I am excited to continue exploring new horizons, pushing creative boundaries, and driving success for my clients and their brands. If you’re looking for a partner to help tell your story, you’re in the right place. Let’s make something amazing together.
