Bringing enthusiasm, curiosity, and a thoughtful approach to client relationships, Ellis Hardie joins Green Apple Strategy as a Client Relations Specialist. In her role, Ellis partners closely with clients to build meaningful relationships and support the development of strategic marketing plans that create lasting value for their brands and businesses. Her passion for combining creativity and strategy makes her a natural fit for Green Apple’s collaborative environment.
A proud Nashville native, Ellis has always had an eye for both creativity and business—a combination that inspired her to pursue a marketing degree at Lipscomb University. During her time there, a chance encounter at a networking luncheon introduced her to Green Apple’s Founder and CEO, Samantha Pyle. “I was immediately inspired by her critical thinking, tenacious work ethic, and sweet nature. I asked her to coffee, and after many more conversations, she became a mentor I deeply trust and admire.”
What drew Ellis most to Green Apple wasn’t just the impressive results the agency achieves, but the heart behind its work. “This team serves with genuine collaboration, a sincere commitment to excellence, and a spirit of encouragement that uplifts both clients and colleagues. I’m thrilled to be part of a company that values relationships as much as results.”
For Ellis, marketing is exciting because it’s always evolving, and always rooted in connection. She enjoys learning about each client’s industry and seeing how strategy, creativity, and storytelling work together to achieve measurable impact. “Marketing is truly about partnership. At Green Apple, we don’t just execute, we come alongside our clients as strategic partners in their long-term success.”
Outside of work, Ellis is a self-proclaimed foodie who loves exploring Nashville’s dining scene, cooking at home, and hosting dinner parties with friends. When she’s not gathered around a table, you might find her walking the trails at Radnor Lake, browsing local thrift shops, or curled up with a good book.
