Creative Allies is the Marketing Partner to Small Businesses
Diverse Company Helps Business Owners Focus on What They Do Best
If you’re an entrepreneur, chances are you started your business because you love performing your service or making your products. Small business owners are great at offering a particular solution to their customers. But marketing their businesses? Not so much.
That’s where Creative Allies comes in. This certified, minority-owned, multicultural marketing agency focuses on content generation and much more for small companies.
“We deal with business owners who are excellent at their craft, but may not know how to market themselves,” said Amie Thompson, President and CEO of Creative Allies since 2018. “Small business owners often don’t know how to grow their businesses and meet potential clients through marketing; they want to be focused on their expertise. We know how to help them do just that.”

Inclusive Retirement Community is the Hottest Ticket in the Triangle
Community. Education. Culture. Engagement. Caring. Diversity.
These are the ingredients of Carol Woods’ secret sauce that makes it one of the country’s leading Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC). And its right in our backyard!
Named for the lush Carolina landscape that surrounds the community, Carol Woods is an accredited not-for-profit situated on 120 wooded acres in Chapel Hill. The community, which was founded in 1979 by a group of local residents who wanted to retire in comfort and style, attracts residents who want to be close to the superior cultural, educational, and medical resources our area offers.
According to Gretchen Likins, Director of Admissions and Public Relations at Carol Woods, CCRCs provide a continuum of care, including independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing. These occur in a variety of settings, from the facility’s studio apartments to its 1- and 2-bedroom cottages and townhomes to its Early Acceptance Program.

An Important Announcement About SAGE Central North Carolina
The LGBT Center of Raleigh and SAGE Central North Carolina are joining together to share this important announcement.
An opportunity has arisen for SAGE Central North Carolina to expand its impact throughout the central portion of the state, and the LGBT Center of Raleigh supports SAGE’s decision to align with another organization. While the home base for SAGE will remain in Raleigh, it is expanding its reach throughout the Triangle and central North Carolina.
The LGBT Center will continue to offer programming for LGBTQ older adults, while SAGE will be able to expand its offerings through its core programs: education, advocacy, and programs to foster social interaction.
Our organizations will continue to collaborate, and we are currently looking at opportunities to provide joint programming that will augment one another’s efforts.
