get to know the founder and ceo of blue seven
Rooted in the island of Nantucket, a luxury vacation destination island just off the coast of Massachusetts, Founder Renée Perkins, draws from a rich background in her family's boating business and diverse experience in small businesses on the island and Boston. Born and raised on Nantucket, Renee's mission is clear: empower East Coast businesses to thrive.
Renée got an early start working with small businesses. She grew up in a family-owned business. She learned all aspects of marketing, as well as the hurdles and challenges that business owners go through. From working for the family business to expanding her work into other small businesses on the island and Boston, from real estate to event planning, Renee gained invaluable insight into what it takes to make a small business thrive in their communities.
Renée's focus is to help her clients develop a full understanding of the different strategies and approaches businesses can take for their marketing and aid them in finding a plan that is right for their business and goals. She has made it her mission to help businesses on the East Coast grow.
During her time in college, Renée played Division II College Soccer while attending Bentley University, a business school outside of Boston, where she earned two Bachelor of Science Degrees in Marketing and Environmental Sustainability.
Outside of running Blue Seven Studio, Renée serves on several boards including the Alumni Council for Lawrence Academy, Women's Alumni for Bentley University and as a Next-Gen Board Member for Sustainable Sport Foundation.
