HI MY NAME IS

Cole Britt

(Owner*)

Hi, I’m Cole—the entrepreneurial engine behind the scenes. I bring over 10 years of small business hustle and SEO know-how to the mix. With a law degree in my back pocket and hands-on experience building both a national e-commerce brand and a growing multi-state concrete contracting business, I know what it takes to build something from the ground up—literally. I’m all about strategy, growth, and rolling up my sleeves to get things done. If there’s a plan to be made or a market to crack, I’m probably already on it.

Steven Britt

(Owner*)

Steven here, proud co-founder of Heart City Marketing! As a former full-time pastor with a PhD in Applied Mathematics, I like to live in the intersection of logic and people. That unusual combo taught me how to think analytically, operate technically and also communicate effectively – which turns out to be a great recipe for local marketing!At Heart City, I oversee and direct our technical areas (SEO, websites, custom software, and data analysis) — making sure we deliver exceptional, optimized results.When I’m not powering the engines of local business for our clients, I’m usually chasing my kids around, writing, or experimenting with whatever new tech project I’ve gotten myself into!

Elaina Rainey

(Marketing manager*)

Hi, I’m Elaina! I’m the Marketing Manager here at Heart City Marketing, where I help keep campaigns running, clients thriving, and creative ideas moving. From organizing content calendars to jumping in wherever needed, I’m your go-to for making sure the details get done—and done right. I graduated from the University of Georgia with a B.A. in Marketing, and I love bringing structure and energy to everything I do. Outside of work, I’m usually wrangling four dogs, sipping coffee, or planning my next beach day. I’m proud to be part of a fast-growing, local team that’s doing big things right here in Middle Georgia.

HI MY NAME IS

Grace Cohan

(Marketing Assistant*)

Hi, I’m Grace—your go-to social media guru, Canva enthusiast, and drone pilot with a serious eye for the perfect shot. I grew up in the small town of Pittsfield, MA, and made my way down south to earn my BA in Communication, Media, and Culture from the University of Tampa. I’m especially passionate about helping small businesses grow and connect with their communities through smart, heartfelt marketing. When I’m not setting up email campaigns, designing banners, or jumping into whatever creative project’s up next, you can probably find me binge-watching the newest reality TV show or soaking up the sun by the pool. Fun fact: I’m an identical twin!

HI MY NAME IS

Lauren McMurray

(Marketing Assistant*)

Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’ve called Georgia home my whole life. After starting school at Georgia College & State University, I settled in Middle Georgia about four years ago. At Heart City, I lead community outreach and help guide the creative direction behind our branding and website design. I’ve always loved connecting with people, but it was watching my dad grow a small business—without any marketing support that really ignited my passion for helping other entrepreneurs share their stories. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen baking, tending to my patio jungle, or out walking my dog.

HI MY NAME IS

Ryleigh Palmer

(Sales*)

Hi! I’m Ryleigh, and I grew up in a small town just outside of Athens, Georgia. I’ve called Middle Georgia home for the past three years, where I work full-time as a park ranger with the National Park Service—helping protect natural spaces and connect people with the outdoors. At Heart City Marketing, I lead sales, partnering with local businesses to match them with the right tools and creative strategies to grow. I’ve always had a heart for small towns and strong communities, and being part of Heart City Marketing lets me support the kind of places that shaped me. When I’m not working, I’m usually out on a trail, hanging with my dog, or catching up on a good podcast.

Shane Hunter

(Intern Software Developer*)

Hi! I’m Shane, a college student currently working toward my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. I’m passionate about building practical, user-friendly technology, and at Heart City, I contribute to web app development—bringing ideas to life through clean, functional code. I love seeing how small improvements can make a big impact, and I’m always learning something new along the way. Outside of work and school, you’ll usually find me outdoors, whether it’s fishing, camping, or planning my next travel adventure. Being active and staying curious are a big part of who I am, both in and out of tech
