About
Shawn J. Mayberry

Web & Graphic Designer | Creative Strategist

Shawn Mayberry helps small businesses, nonprofits, churches, and community organizations amplify their message through websites, branding, and graphic design backed by 15+ years of marketing experience.

Shawn brings “big brand” thinking to every project. He began his career at NBC Chicago and Clear Channel, then managed more than $20 million in digital media for Allstate and Procter & Gamble at Starcom, saving Allstate over $700,000 by cutting wasted ad spend. At Burrell Communications, he planned digital media strategy for Toyota and Hilton.

As Digital & Communications Director for FirstRepair, he designed annual reports, marketing materials, videos, and animations, managed the website, and helped create campaigns featured in The Big Payback on Prime Video. He has also worked with Midway Broadcasting, the Harlem Fine Arts Show, and the African Festival of the Arts, where he helped grow media coverage by more than 75%.

Most recently, Shawn transformed the digital presence of Ellis Avenue Church in Chicago with a new website, logo and brand colors, enhanced photography, and custom features like a synced events calendar.

A Loyola University Chicago graduate, Shawn holds certifications from Yale, Northwestern, Google, and others, and has presented for SCORE Chicago. He has served on the boards of United Credit Union, One Million Degrees, and the George M. Pullman Scholarship Foundation.

Outside of work, he enjoys new technology, travel, gardening, and fitness. Fun fact: he finished the 2014 Chicago Marathon without training — and strongly advises against it.
