Learn How We Can Make A Difference For You
Fiddleheads Advertising is a boutique agency with over 25 years of experience helping businesses across a wide range of industries — including automotive, healthcare, education, home improvement, financial services, and more — grow through strategic, results-focused advertising.
Led by Autumn Shipley, our clients enjoy direct access to a hands-on partner backed by a talented behind-the-scenes team. We pride ourselves on being agile, transparent, and deeply invested in your success.
From negotiating competitive media rates to crafting high-impact campaigns across TV, radio, digital, social, OTT, and out-of-home platforms, we develop integrated marketing strategies tailored to each client’s unique goals. We also serve as digital consultants — uncovering inefficiencies, optimizing ad spend, and ensuring every dollar delivers value. In one case, we identified over $50,000 in misallocated spend for a client from a vendor they were using, leading to broader savings across their industry.
In addition to creative production, from script writing to filming, and media planning, we offer ongoing website oversight and content optimization — included with our services — to ensure your digital presence evolves with your business.
At Fiddleheads, we bring big-agency expertise with small-agency dedication. Whether you're launching a new product, refreshing your brand, or trying to maximize your ROI, we’re here to make your marketing work harder — and smarter — for you.
Autumn Shipley, President
With over a decade of experience in media strategy, data-driven marketing, and client-focused leadership, Autumn Shipley brings a deep understanding of what drives results across industries. Before joining Fiddleheads Advertising, Autumn built a distinguished career at Effectv (formerly Comcast Spotlight), where she held several leadership roles during her time there.
As a Local Sales Manager at Effectv, Autumn led her team to exceed sales goals, driven by her focus on strategic media planning, team development, and operational efficiency. She successfully identified high-impact opportunities for traditional and emerging media, including retail and political campaigns, while coaching her team to deliver strong, client-centered outcomes.
Autumn’s expertise spans across traditional advertising through research-based television campaigns, advanced digital platforms, with extensive experience using tools like Google Analytics, Tableau, Looker, and Marketo to uncover insights and optimize campaigns. Her background includes managing complex CTV/OTT, SEO, SEM, and addressable advertising strategies, along with deep familiarity with demand-side platforms (DSPs), data management platforms (DMPs), and supply-side systems (SSPs).
Prior to her leadership roles, Autumn honed her analytical and storytelling skills as a Research Analyst and Marketing Specialist, building a foundation in media trends, audience behavior, and multi-channel communication.
At Fiddleheads Advertising, she combines this hands-on experience with a boutique agency approach — working directly with clients to craft impactful campaigns and deliver real business results across industries including automotive, healthcare, education, home improvement, finance, service, and more.
