Marketing Operations & Event Management

About The 128 Collective

We don’t just make marketing work: we make it easy to understand, sustainable, and built to grow your business.

Our Mission

At The 128 Collective, our mission is to prove that business growth doesn’t have to come at the cost of well-being. We help teams cut through chaos, reclaim time, and scale sustainably with clarity, ease, and measurable results.

Our Vision

We envision a world where work fuels life, not consumes it. A world where clarity replaces chaos and businesses profit with purpose.

Why 128?

There are 168 hours in a week. 40 of them are spent working.
The other 128? That’s where growth happens.

The 128 Collective was built on the belief that your time outside the day-to-day grind should work for you, not against you. We help businesses find clarity, structure, and momentum so leaders can spend less time putting out fires and more time focusing on what really moves their business forward.

Our Approach

We’re not here to overwhelm you with jargon or hand you another tool you’ll never use. We connect the dots across your marketing, operations, and events; blending big-picture strategy with hands-on execution.

You won’t just walk away with ideas. You’ll walk away with clear, functioning systems that actually move your business forward.

Our Values

Intentional Simplicity

We challenge the idea that more tools or meetings equal more impact. We focus on doing less, but doing it better.

Ease Is a Growth Strategy

Growth shouldn’t feel heavy. Our systems reduce friction and free up capacity.

Clarity Is a Kindness

We believe clear direction is the most powerful way to respect your team’s time and energy.

Meet Erica Statly, PMI certified PMP

Hey there - I’m Erica: a marketer at heart, project manager by trade, and my passion lies in helping businesses move incredible ideas off the wishlist and into reality. 

I started this company because I saw how often great companies struggled to balance growth with organization, and I wanted to be the partner who could bring both strategy and structure to the table.

When I’m not mapping out campaigns or keeping projects on track, you can usually find me experimenting in the kitchen, training for my next 10K run, or at the beach with my pup. I’m based in Charleston, South Carolina, but I work with clients across the country to help them scale their businesses with clarity and confidence.

At the heart of it, I love seeing people’s ideas turn into something real. And I believe the right mix of creativity, structure, and consistency can make almost anything possible.
