Welcome to Grapevine

Lead Generating

It’s great to have a shiny and attractive website. Honestly though, having a beautiful website is useless if it doesn’t result in producing new leads, having those leads contact you, and finally turning them into customers.

Building Small Businesses

At the core of our business is a genuine dedication to excellence in both our work and customer experience. We recognize the importance of what we do for small businesses online. Our work, our customers, and our reputation are the foundation for everything we do.

Jennifer LaFleur

About the Founder

Driven with a strong passion to help small businesses ‘upgrade’ their online presence, Jennifer has a love of marketing that came as a surprise to her early in her career. 

Before she found Grapevine Marketing in 2019, Jennifer received her Bachelor’s in Finance at McNeese State University in Louisiana and also completed a full four year scholarship playing college golf. 

After a fun, yet strenuous college experience, a real world job was a welcomed change of pace. During her 10 years in the fast-paced corporate marketing world, she intricately learned every facet of marketing that any business needs to succeed, including formal training in marketing strategy.

With a strong urge to “dig in” to the community of Katy, Texas (her hometown), she decided to start her own digital marketing business. “Marketing is as simple as you make it, and as complex as you make it” - a quote Jennifer repeats all too often. She takes pride in shedding the “all-too mysterious light” of marketing to people, so that they feel empowered in making informed decisions in their marketing budget. 

Grapevine Marketing was formed with a very clear purpose in mind and that is displayed in our tagline - Simply Connecting People. Truly, all marketing involves connecting people, whether it is online or in-person.

Jennifer is heavily involved in local networking groups and actively teaches various marketing tactics to businesses in the area. She considers her clients and the network of partners to be among her friends and has formed meaningful and lasting relationships with many of them.

Ashley Pope

About the Partner

Ashley's journey in the marketing realm is a testament to the power of collaboration and shared experiences. Her story intertwines with that of her remarkable friend, mentor, and colleague, Jennifer. The duo first crossed paths in the corporate world and decided to merge forces in 2023, creating a partnership that's become a formidable presence in the marketing sphere. Ashley's strengths, combined with Jennifer's, offer clients a distinct and innovative approach to their marketing needs.

Originally from the vibrant city of Phoenix, Arizona, Ashley laid the groundwork for her marketing career. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Strategic Communication with double majors in Advertising and Public Relations from Northern Arizona University. In 2018, she took a leap, transitioning to Houston, Texas, and has been hooked ever since!

Education has always been a driving force for Ashley, prompting her to pursue a master's degree in Public Relations at the University of Houston (Go Coogs!). With six years in the corporate marketing world, she cultivated her expertise in content creation, strategic marketing, and social media, setting the stage for her venture into Grapevine Marketing.

Ashley's philosophy about marketing encapsulates her passion: "I'm passionate about marketing because, at first glance, it seems like this big, complicated puzzle with loads of options. But you know what? It's not that crazy once you dive in! I love helping clients sort through all the choices and find their perfect fit. In marketing, there's not just one way to succeed, and that's what keeps it exciting!"
