About Magnolia Media

We love stories. Some make us cry. Some make us laugh…

Some leave us inspired to do more, be more. But we always get excited to tell them – no matter the story (Well, okay, there was THAT one story…).

Combined, we have close to 50 years of experience telling stories. But we’re not done learning; we keep honing our craft, adding to our depth of knowledge. We’re also moms who are passionate about our careers, our families and our interests. We’ve discovered that having children actually makes us better at our craft, at meeting our clients’ needs. [Dubious? Don’t just take our word – there’s a study that proves it!]

So what are you waiting for? Let us tell your story!

Our Team

Heather Loveridge

Founder/Chief Storyteller

As the owner of Magnolia Media Group, Heather enjoys providing clients with marketing services that help them tell their story well. She’s been fortunate enough during her career to combine her profession with her interests. Over the years she’s helped nonprofits tell their story, built a business, written for a number of magazines, managed editorial teams, executed marketing plans, produced everything from ad copy to cover stories, and more.

She’s also a wife, mom and animal lover. She and her husband have five children, four horses, two barn cats and a dog. Heather started working for herself when their oldest child was born and has juggled a career, children and working from home ever since (and she loves to encourage other women who are doing the same or similar). What keeps her going is her faith in God and her wonderful husband (He is her biggest fan and an awesome dad – team work makes the dream work!)…and a bunch of pretty awesome college students from their church who they’ve had the privilege of helping lead for almost seven years.

Sarah Berthiaume

Storyteller Extraordinaire

Before she was a full-time mom, Sarah was a full-time news writer, tromping around rural Maine, scribbling stories on everything from the newest business in town to the police beat. During those years, she snagged kudos from the Maine Press Association with Best Feature Story awards and, with other staff, a Newspaper of the Year award. As a freelancer, she uses her experience to create compelling press releases, blog posts and social media marketing. Catch up with her on Twitter @scribbler_sarah.

Elizabeth Gaines

Project Manager

Elizabeth is a connector. Not only does she love connecting people to other people, she loves connecting people to brands. (She also helps connect her two kids to their missing shoes.) She has a knack for asking the right questions that connect the dots for clients and team members alike.

With 6+ years experience of digital media experience plus another 2+ overseeing print deadlines for school yearbooks, she’s got tons of experience managing end-to-end projects, all while delighting her customers. Her family calls Athens, GA home (go Dawgs!) and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Jordan Johnstone

Storyteller

Jordan has been writing in some capacity for almost a decade and has been a full-time freelancer since 2014. She holds a B.S. in Advertising and Public Relations and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing, both of which blend together into a highly-adaptable writing style for just about any client and industry. She and her family call Grayson, GA, home and in her free time, Jordan writes and self-publishes fiction.
