Who We Are (and Why You’ll Want In)

FlyDog Digital is a strategic marketing agency built for multi-location wellness and hospitality brands in a growth stage. From branding to SEO to show-stopping websites, we help founder-led companies get clear, get seen, and get real results.

We don’t do fluff—and we don’t expect our team to either. Founded by Carly Kerndt, FlyDog is a high-performance, people-first workplace that values clarity, creative freedom, and honest collaboration. We’ve traded micromanagement for real trust, and corporate B.S. for transparency and flexibility. If you want to grow with a company that actually gives a damn about its people, you might be in the right place.

Why Work With Us?

  • You’ll be part of a thoughtful, high-performing crew that roots for each other’s success.

  • Your ideas won’t just be heard—they’ll be implemented.

  • Weekly team calls mix wins, check-ins, and reflections (yes, book club is mandatory and awesome).

  • We believe in boundaries, PTO, and people having full lives.

  • You’ll be given real ownership and real support—no babysitting, no silos, just shared accountability.

You’re the right fit if…

  • You can take high-level campaign direction and turn it into creative, strategic, and conversion-focused content.

  • You understand how social media supports the full customer journey—from awareness to conversion.

  • You’re equal parts creative and analytical—you can dream up ideas and measure what’s working.

  • You’re proactive, organized, and confident managing multiple client accounts at once.

  • You bring original ideas to the table—not just what everyone else is doing.

🚫 This Might Not Be For You If…

  • You rely heavily on trends without understanding strategy or business goals.

  • You’re more focused on aesthetics than performance.

  • You struggle to manage multiple deadlines or stay organized across accounts.

  • You need lots of direction when it comes to what to post.

  • You’re uncomfortable thinking critically about what’s working—and what’s not.
