Meet Trey Sheneman,
Founder & CEO at Herald
I had the vision for Herald while running my first agency in 2011.
In 2010, my wife and I had both been laid off and were $95,000 in debt, not counting our house. We ended up on food stamps. Someone took a wild leap of faith with me in 2011 and helped me start my first agency.
When our office opened, my wife walked in with a plaque that had Habakkuk 2:2 on it - “Write the vision and make it plain, so the herald can run with it.” It was then that I knew one day I would own my business outright and call it Herald.
Over the next 12 years, I had great runs heading up growth for large, national brands from both the agency side and the client side. I even started moonlighting with a consulting business because I love the work of building brands so much. It was this business that I finally left corporate America to start, branded as Herald, in 2023.
Herald exists to build brands that feel Hollywood grade. But we want to stand on our principles as we are Holy Word made. Our faith position calls us to a higher standard - so hold us to it!
