Our Team - Black Wednesday

THE TEAM.

WHAT STARTED AS AN INDIVIDUAL’S VISION OF HELPING AMAZING COMPANIES BETTER TELL THEIR STORIES HAS EVOLVED INTO A COLLECTIVE OF PEOPLE COMMITTED TO OUR CLIENTS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES.

WE ARE A WITCHY TEAM THAT IS BUILT ON CREATIVITY AND AMBITION AND RUNS ON COFFEE. OUR MISSION IS TO DO THE BEST WORK POSSIBLE. AND YES, EVERYONE WEARS BLACK ON WEDNESDAYS.

MEET OUR CREATIVE WEIRDOS…

Owner and Executive Leader

CORRI SMITH

Creator and overseer of all things Black Wednesday. Writer of too many emails, plant & dog mom, keeper of the Spotify office vibes and queen of the follow up. Elder emo.

SR PR Representative

EMMA FORTUNA

Previous New Yorker, current Queen City girl. On a mission to make you look good. Professional people person, experienced multitasker, and scorpio. In her free time she’s probably practicing being basic by watching Bravo TV, looking for the best sushi in Charlotte, or online shopping.

PR Representative

Lindsay Harden

New England girl turned your favorite Charlotte transplant. In pursuit of being your brand’s bff and biggest hype girl. Hobbies include jumping around in her Britney mic teaching pilates classes, hot girl walking her dog or making homemade pasta. Office uniform: slacks, sneakers and a slick back.

Marketing Representative

Candace Sykes

Her area code says heart of the Appalachian mountains, but her zip code says East Charlotte. She’s all about creating connections, bringing stories to life, and balancing KPIs. Obsessed with her dog, makeup trends, and her playlists from 2004.

Social Media + Public Relations Coordinator

Alyssa Zoutendyk

Charlotte alumni turned social media and PR guru. Equal parts Canva connoisseur and juggler of all things creative. Off the clock? She’s deep into a wellness podcast or off enjoying live music — Diet Coke in hand, naturally.

Social Media Assistant

Elena Buchelli

Swapped Cancun’s beaches for Charlotte’s energy but will never lose her love for Mexico’s sun. She stays inspired, creates with purpose, and values real connection. Wellness is part of who she is. Fitness keeps her centered. And her love for Bieber? Turns out, not a phase.

Last Minute Club Coordinator

Nicole Castillo

Venezuelan roots with creative pursuits. MBA student and Last Minute problem solver. Big visual girl who appreciates materializing ideas through strategy, which is probably why she’s obsessed with the ‘behind-the-scenes’ of movies.

Design Intern

Kaitlyn Hazuka

Charlotte graphic design student, RGB magician, and expert at identifying random typefaces on dinner menus. Here to focus on the details and translate creative ideas into visuals. Find her either in the climbing gym or behind an espresso machine.

Existential Security

Carl + Charlie

Creep keepers. Protectors of the office and visitor management. They’ll be seeing you in your dreams later.
