About Us

Blue Coral Creative was founded in 2019 to assist small businesses and nonprofit groups in achieving digital marketing success.

After 20 years of working together as the in-house marketing team for a high-profile company in New York City, we relocated to Ohio and started our own company.

We use all of the expertise we gained during those two decades to help our clients reach their marketing goals.

We offer a wide range of services such as web design, e-commerce, SEO, digital advertising, content creation, and social media, plus traditional print advertising and collateral. We work holistically to create powerful, integrated solutions designed to take your business to the highest level possible.

SAMANTHA HICKEY
Creative Director

Samantha has spent the last 25 years wearing just about every hat in the advertising world. Her skills include graphic design, website design, social media marketing, digital retouching, brand collateral, print advertising, prop styling, and content creation.

In 1998, she earned a BS in advertising photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. After graduating, she moved to New York City to begin her master’s degree in communications design at Pratt Insitute, where she realized her true calling was graphic design. Over the years, Samantha has worked in creative positions everywhere from a boutique ad agency that focused on luxury real estate, to a major appliance company, and most recently as the creative director for a high-end jewelry and watch retailer.

SCOTT HICKEY
Digital Marketing Director

Scott earned his BFA in Journalism from St. Louis University in 1994 and spent the rest of that decade covering the Midwest entertainment scene as a writer and photographer. In 2000, he moved to New York City, where he continued writing about music and expanded his editorial scope to a wide range of subjects such as Apple computer technology, interior design and decor, and the rarified world of fine watchmaking.

While music remains his passion, his main jam is digital advertising. For the last 8 years, Scott’s been immersing himself in the alphabet soup of modern marketing: SEO, SEM, and SMM. His skills include digital advertising, website optimization, social media content creation and marketing, and advertorial and editorial copywriting.
