About us

PowerUp Small Biz is made up of digital marketing agency owners who want to help make small business owners shine! We are dedicated to the Shop Small movement and taking back share from big corporations. Meet the team!

Katy Sugarbaker

I love the contributions small businesses make in our communities. As a former owner of a small retail business and a Director of a Chamber of Commerce for local businesses, I respect the talent and energy you give to your business and communities every day!

I bring my expertise from my MBA and digital marketing agency to this collective effort to reduce the online market share of big box companies by 20%. I will tell your stories, educate the public and promote your products.

We need to work smarter together to win market share and put shopping small at the forefront of shoppers' habits.

I am a hands-on community member committed to ensuring local communities stay strong and vibrant. I work hard so each small business reaches its full potential to provide a sustainable future.

For the past 15+ years, I've worked for luxury brands leading a team of salespeople to success. I'm passionate about helping others reach new heights in their business.

We must stay on top of the game in the digital world. I'm committed to continuing my education so I am the most influential strategist in a consistently evolving market! I am here to teach you and watch you shine!
