Our Values
Here’s what we mean:
We Treat Clients Like Family
Attention to Details
Not many things damage a business’ credibility like a careless mistake.
Our creative process for everything we do contains several review steps and will cross your desk more than once before it is finalized.
Respect for Our Employees
Why should you care how we treat our oddballs? Well, because they’re the ones putting in the hard work so your business can achieve the goals you set for it!
As such, we believe in taking care of our employees by supporting them in their personal and professional growth and respecting their family lives. We honestly believe that if you want someone to help you achieve your goals, you have to help them achieve theirs. That philosophy has helped create a joyful, creative working environment for us.
Social Responsibility
We believe that businesses play a vital role in the health of their communities.
2oddballs Creative is actively engaged in supporting the local LGBTQ+ community.
We also worked alongside one of our clients to start a program called Marketing for Hope that benefitted local non-profits so they could continue their work during the COVID-19 crisis. Marketing for Hope helped raise $1,000 for a veterans therapy program.
Our Mission
To us, you’re more than just a number. You’re part of the 2oddballs family.
We’ve all had the experience of feeling deeply connected with a family member or a friend. A person can have a meaningful connection to their first car, their favorite sports team, their favorite color or book. We connect on various levels with each other, with animals, with stories – and yes – brands and organizations. Because – at their core – brands, businesses, organizations and governments are really all just people.
The Oddly skilled
Talent you can trust
In an age where the words “expert” and “experienced” have lost their impact, who can you trust?
The ones who can prove it.
Sure, we can brag on our years of experience too (most of us have a decade plus in our respective fields) but just because you’ve done something for a long time doesn’t mean you’ve done it well.
So, here’s our roster, what they bring to the table, and a link to our work.
Oddballs: Talent You Can Trust
FOUNDERS
Hailing from Strafford, Mo., Kylie comes from a family of businessmen and women. She attended the college of business at Missouri State University and graduated with a degree in Advertising and Promotion. Her true skills lie in managing projects and people. She’s the glue that holds this ship together. With over a decade’s worth of experience in restaurant and hospitality, no one knows how to juggle customers, costs, tasks, time, and teams like Kylie – it’s in her blood!
As one of the founding 2oddballs, Kylie has had her hands on nearly every aspect of the business, from accounts to accounting. On any given day you might find her creating posts for clients’ social media, designing graphics or whole websites, or her primary duty as of late – managing project workflows.

Associates/Clubs
All of us at 2oddballs Creative believe a big part of what makes a healthy and thriving community is responsible business practices such as providing a helping hand to the nonprofit organizations working to make your area a better place to live.
Associations Clubs
The following organizations are advocates for causes near to our hearts and ones we are active members of, volunteer for, and provide our marketing services when needed.
The SCA was created to promote the local construction industry. We help other members through presentations on digital marketing tactics. We’re also members of Generation Next – the under 40 subgroup of SCA – and the Workforce Development team, and Kylie is on the board for Generation Next. They’ve also asked us to help with some aspects of the website BuildTheOzarks.com
Kylie’s hometown! We’ve presented on the importance of digital marketing and volunteer when needed. We rebranded the chamber and created their website, where members can add themselves to and edit their own directory listing. Kylie and Gabriel are also board members of the Strafford Area Chamber of Commerce.
2oddballs joined the Nixa Chamber of Commerce due to our growing connection with businesses in the Nixa community. One of our newest clients include the Nixa school system where we designed the logo, AETOS, for the new performing arts center.
