👋 Meet Veronique Zayas
----------------------
Veronique founded HatchMark Studio in 2015 out of the need to scale up or scale back. Since then, she’s been dead-set on building the agency she wants to work at and cultivating a team that’s driven to create and collaborate to support that vision.
Although she started HatchMark as a brand designer, her focus has shifted to leading client strategy and positioning, new business development, and internal growth.
She’s passionate about helping organizations excel, and leaning in to support their growth - whether it’s a startup struggling to differentiate their brand in a crowded industry, or a 100+ year business making the shift to the digital marketing world. Best business advice? People work with people they know, like, and trust. And she’s lucky to be able to do that every day.
