@growthzacks Woah you're breaking my brain a little bit.

[Roark Nelson @roark_nelson]

@zachmstuck @_RileyTrotter @jsappington @kellybird__ Gonna take this as if you “wouldn’t” have made it in which case thank you sir 🫡

[Roark Nelson @roark_nelson]

Working at Homestead has been a dream come true. What Zach, @_RileyTrotter, @jsappington, and @kellybird__ have built is just incredible.

I’ve gotten the chance to work with some of the best people and the best brands these past few years and cannot wait for this next evolution

[Zach Stuck @zachmstuck]

I started a little marketing agency 7 years ago called Homestead, named after the street I grew up on.

I had the vision to build something special and looking back now, I think we did exactly that.

Today I’m excited to announce that Homestead has been acquired by Verndale (also recently acquired VAAN Group) in an effort to create a DTC growth platform built to support brands across the entire commerce lifecycle.

I’m extremely grateful to my business partner @_RileyTrotter for all of the time he’s given this company and all the incredible work that he’s done. Riley took over as CEO a few years ago and Homestead wouldn’t be where we are today without his leadership and pursuit of greatness.

I can’t say enough about my other partners @kellybird__ and @jsappington. These two have shown a level of commitment to building this company that is unmatched. Watching them both grow as leaders over the last few years has been nothing short of inspiring.

To all our current and past team members, thank you for always giving Homestead and our clients 100% effort. Will forever be grateful to you all for helping us get to where we are today.

To all of our clients, thank you for trusting in us to help grow your businesses. This is not an easy task and we have never taken it lightly.

As for me, I’m officially stepping out of the agency business, but as most of you know I haven’t been involved in the company for some time as Riley/Kelly/Jacob have been and will continue to lead Homestead for years to come. Expect to see more updates on the brands I’ve been building in weeks to come.
