Gala Agency was originally founded as a solo venture by Avery Hadley in 2023, driven by a passion for storytelling and a love for the hospitality, food, and wine industries. What started as a one-person operation focused on coffee marketing quickly grew into a broader vision. In 2024, Avery partnered with Amelia Schantz, to form Gala Agency. Both Avery and Amelia are proud graduates of Oregon State University, where they honed their skills and passion for creative work. Together, they combined their expertise to offer creative, community-driven marketing solutions. With a focus on content creation, social media management, and brand strategy, Gala continues to help businesses tell their stories and connect with their audiences. Now, growing team, we’re excited to work with you and bring your brand’s story to life.
