Monthly Luncheon - The Power of Influencer Marketing for Community Growth

“Julia Huckaba is the neighbor behind Exploring Hendricks County. Originally from Florida, she moved to Indiana in her mid-20s, spent a decade in downtown Indy where she met her husband and taught middle school for 12 years. After having kids, they outgrew their downtown home and decided to move to the suburbs. It was a hard decision to leave a neighborhood they loved but quickly realized how great Hendricks County is and it has became home. She started Exploring Hendricks County during the pandemic as a way to be involved in supporting her community at a time that being a part of a new community was difficult. While she did not set out to become a content creator, she loves how she’s been able to support local businesses and connect neighbors and visitors to the great things happening in Hendricks County through social media.”
