Meet the founders
Gage Bonner
Raised in Daphne, AL with 8 years of marketing under his belt. Co-owned B2BD and helped scale it to a top TikTok brand doing over $1M in revenue. He's built and run multiple businesses of his own, so he knows the fundamentals cold — what actually moves the needle in marketing and advertising versus what just looks good on a slide. He lives and breathes content, social media, and brand strategy. If it involves getting attention online, he's already ten steps ahead.
Dawson Akins
Grew up in Gulf Shores, graduated here, and still calls it home. Three years deep working with local businesses up and down the Gulf Coast, and the technical engine behind Blue Heron. He runs the AI builds, paid ads, SEO, websites, and everything Google touches. He's also built and run multiple businesses himself, so he gets what owners actually need — not just what looks pretty in a report. If it lives on a screen and needs to perform, it goes through Dawson.
Together, we started Blue Heron because we got tired of watching businesses get burned by agencies that overpromise and underdeliver. So we built one that just works.
