Meet the Team

Alexa Bolton | Founder | Barrington, IL

Hi neighbor, I’m Alexa — the founder of Common Thread Marketing Co.

I’ve spent the past few years working in publishing and marketing, where I learned how much the small details matter — the right message, the right timing, the right moment to follow up. But more than anything, I noticed how often good businesses go quiet simply because there’s no time to keep things going.

Common Thread started as a way to fix that. I help local businesses stay consistent, connected to their customers, and present in a way that actually reflects the experience they’ve worked so hard to create.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me in a bookstore, reorganizing a shelf in my head, or noticing which displays people actually stop for — which, it turns out, is usually where the good marketing starts.

Cheers!
