Corie Hipp knew at a young age that she was a natural communicator. Her favorite work is focused on a cause that benefits the community and she is constantly evolving and seeking new ways to lend her expertise. 

Corie is a South Carolina native with more than 20 years of experience in marketing + communications and community advocacy including effective nonprofit branding and messaging; graphic design; web design; social media marketing; press and public relations; advocacy, community, and historic preservation; hospitality management, events, and production coordination. Her client base is a mix of both profit and non-profit clients, in addition to having worked with many organizations through serving on various committees and boards throughout the South Carolina area. 

During her involvement in the restoration of the Seashore Farmers Lodge at Sol Legare (http://bit.ly/1LfVd6E), she happened upon an immense love for Charleston’s history with an affinity for the preservation of African American cultural sites and stories. Over the course of the past fifteen years Corie has been instrumental in several projects that have successfully brought this story full-circle and she continues to advise on many similar efforts throughout the lowcountry.

Corie won an honor award from the National Trust for Historic Preservation for her work on the Seashore Farmers Lodge and is a 2014 Forty under 40 award recipient. In early 2021, she teamed up with the International African American Museum to create a virtual exhibit detailing the work on the Seashore Farmers Lodge.
