Hannah Presley
Digital Marketing Director
Hannah is the creative engine behind Townie’s marketing strategy—equal parts storyteller, strategist, and brand champion.
With nearly a decade of experience in multi-media marketing, Hannah has built a career that spans industries, platforms, and company sizes—from scrappy startups to Fortune 500 powerhouses. She’s crafted campaigns for major brands like the Philadelphia 76ers, Phillies, ESF Camps, Pfizer, Progressive, and Uber, bringing a unique blend of creativity and data-driven precision to every project.
Her work is grounded in a deep understanding of what makes people connect with a brand: not just clever visuals or catchy taglines, but real, relatable storytelling. She’s especially passionate about making marketing feel human, whether she’s working on a national campaign or a neighborhood business’s Instagram feed.
At Townie, Hannah has found her sweet spot—helping small businesses grow through thoughtful, community-rooted marketing that prioritizes connection over clout. Her motto? An engaged audience is always better than a big one.
Originally from Maryland, Hannah may not be a Philly townie yet… but she’s well on her way.
