A TEAM ON THE RISE
WHERE CREATIVITY AND ANALYTICS COLLIDE
Meet Lufkin's marketing dream team!
EMMA DIXON - Founder & CEO
Originally from Talent, Oregon, Emma graduated from the University of New Orleans in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a minor in management. While there she competed in NCAA Division 1 Track & Field and specialized primarily in marketing research and strategy, taking courses that focused on consumer behavior and data analysis. She also led case competitions and studies through her final semester.
After college, Emma honed her skills and gained various certifications while working at several marketing agencies in East Texas. From graphic design and videography to Google Ads and SEO, she's done it all, which gives her a unique perspective and knowledge that spans the entire marketing process!
After leaving her previous job in 2022, she decided it was time to answer God's call to step out in faith and start Rise Marketing—a company that truly puts Him first and whose primary purpose is to serve.
She can't wait to see all that God has in store for this business, and the good it allows her to do in Lufkin!
HANNA EDDINGS - Digital Media Specialist
Growing up in Zavalla, Texas, Hanna moved to Lufkin in 2018 and stayed after instantly feeling like she "fit in". She attended Angelina College for the past several years, graduating with an Associates in Graphic Design as well as a Certification in Design and Applied Arts.
During college, Hanna worked as a barista in downtown Lufkin while doing freelance photography work in her spare time. For years she worked hard to teach herself the ins and outs of digital photography, trying her hand at many different fields from portraiture, to sporting events, and even weddings.
In her free time she loves to be outside with her boyfriend and their two dogs, or inside trying to "slow down" with a book or a small workout. She has always wanted to work for a company where she could stretch her legs and bring all she has to offer to the table instead of one skillset. Hanna is excited to be a part of the Rise team where she can feel needed and helpful!
FROM THE OWNER
An Acts 3:6 Company
Founded on Peter's famous words in Acts 3:6, the purpose is in our name. We exist to help you and your company rise, and to help our community do the same. So RISE UP AND WALK—leave behind the days of meager success and uncertainty, and join with me to be a force in East Texas. Not just for the temporary, but for the eternal as well. Rise up and achieve your God-given purpose, we're here to help no matter what that looks like!
#RiseTogether
My purpose goes beyond growing a business. God has charged me to step out and lift up the amazing community we call home! How, you ask? By doing my human best to love and bless in the same way that Jesus did here so long ago. I tell my clients that, unfortunately, money is needed to make the world go 'round. But it's not my end goal.
Building Treasure In Heaven
When it comes to Rise Marketing, God is the real owner—I'm just a managing member! I do my best to study His word and abide in the spirit so that I can be a good and worthy steward of the company He has entrusted to me. The same goes for your business. You can rest assured that your company and marketing plan will be prayed over every day, and no steps are taken without consulting Him first. That, I believe, is the recipe for true success!
