Meet The Owner

Hello! My name is Candace Haltom and I am the owner/CEO of Word of Mouth Marketing & Business Development. I am a mother to a 7 year old daughter and have never been a marketing rep for a larger company. I started my own marketing company after becoming inspired and intrigued with the ins and outs of marketing and business development while working for a financial institution. The thought of taking the leap and starting my own business was foreign and a little scary to me but after feeling that unsatisfied feeling in my stomach, one day I thought to myself "Eh, why not?". Thus Word of Mouth was born to help small business owners find and develop their niche into their dream career. I love what I do and the best part about it is getting to promote, brand and grow like minded individuals. Thank you for the support!

My name is Katelyn and I am thrilled to be Word of Mouth’s new logo artist! I’m a creative with a love for words and art. I enjoy exploring new places, lettering, writing, reading, and spending quality time with my husband, family, and friends.

My passion for creating started when I was really young. I was the kid who was always drawing in the margins of her notebook and making art for anyone who would ask. At this point in time, I’ve worked closely with clients to create digital illustrations, logos, hand-lettered goods, canvas-paintings, and even tattoos.

I am at my happiest when I can bring joy to others through my art, and I'm delighted for this opportunity to do so. ♡
