A Couple in Business: From Summer Camp to a Thriving Partnership
What happens when a boy and girl from Brooklyn meet at sleepaway camp, go their separate ways, and reconnect decades later during a snowstorm? For us, it led not only to love but to a successful business partnership. What started as a friendship at age 14 and 16 evolved—through life’s twists and turns—into a thriving marketing agency run by two people who share both a life and a vision.
In this inspiring blog, Ilene shares how their decades-long journey brought them back together to build a business grounded in mutual respect, complementary skills, and a shared passion for marketing. From merging companies and teams to navigating the ups and downs of working (and living) together 24/7, their story is equal parts heartwarming and practical.
