WHO WE ARE
Squid’s Ink is a boutique creative media agency — we specialize in digital media story telling for creative entrepreneurs.
Our brand was founded in 2022 by Sydney Leemhuis, after working as a social media strategist & content creator for dozens of startups.
It was on these small teams where she first experienced the impact of digital marketing — opening the doors to both opportunity and burnout.
She saw the need for an all-in-one, strategy-first, approach to digital marketing & online branding.
And thus, Squid’s Ink was born!
We’re passionate about personal brands & startups. As creators ourselves, we understand first hand the time, effort, and energy that true craftsmanship demands.
We see the beauty in human imperfections & the value of preserving intricate, detailed, artisanship. That’s why we’re dedicated to connecting our clients with audiences who value their work.

How will you leave your ink?
At Squid’s Ink, we believe the need to create is the #1 most important thing you can do with your life force — in whatever way creation comes to you.
Innovation comes from creativity and creativity comes from curiosity. But in order to bring any great idea to life, you first need to be able to communicate it.
That’s where we come in.
You have a story, our job is to help you tell it.
We’ll dig deep into your goals, the types of opportunities you want to position towards, & the vision for your online persona. We take the time to understand your unique point of view so we can use it as the compass that guides our creative strategies.
Whether you're a startup founder, influencer, artist, or brand, we’ll help you craft a digital presence that’s real, magnetic, and built to last.
Our goal?
To make digital marketing simple, strategic, and totally authentic to you, so you can spend more time creating and less time getting lost online.
How It Started
Sydney earned her degree in Journalism and Media Communications from Colorado State University where she studied documentary storytelling.
She continued her education through Semester at Sea where she was able to put these skills into action out in the world. During her voyage she studied globalization, cultural anthropology & philosophy in the West through the lens of travel writing & media communication.
After completing her degree, Sydney started her career working with startups in film and production. Working on these small teams, she learned firsthand how essential & overwhelming digital marketing can be.
She saw a gap in the market — the need for an all-in-one, strategy-first approach to digital branding.
So, she built it.
And Squid’s Ink was born.
