A conversation with Meghan Hessler, Owner
Tell us your business origin story!
It all started with a laptop and a dream: to help people connect through creativity. Founder Meghan Hessler believed business could be more than just a transaction. It’s an opportunity to craft brand experiences that excite, inspire, and turn connection into community. With a passion for helping others and a love for her own community of Frederick, she launched BeeCat Creative.
Since 2020, that vision has stayed the same. Our goal is to disrupt the cycle of sameness and reimagine how brands show up for their community. When we hear, “It’s always been done that way,” we take it as a challenge. That’s when the real work begins.
We want everyone to win by helping brands to succeed and giving consumers something to love.
What do you like most about being a business in Frederick County?
Frederick’s a place where creativity thrives. It’s a small town, but it’s full of big ideas, and we love being part of a community that’s constantly growing and evolving. There’s a real sense of connection here, and being based in a place that values creativity and collaboration is inspiring. We’re proud to be part of this community and contribute to its creative energy.
What makes your business unique?
BeeCat Creative is small but mighty. Our size allows us to stay nimble and think unconventionally, without the red tape that comes with bigger agencies. We partner with ambitious, customer-focused brands who want to build bold, intentional experiences that go beyond the brief. We’re not afraid to roll our sleeves up and uncover deeper opportunities that move brands forward with purpose and power.
What do you want your business to be known for?
We’re passionate about what we do and operate with real intention and purpose. We want to be known for our client- and consumer-focused approach. When we take on a project, it’s a true collaboration. We don’t just meet once, disappear, and come back with something final. We treat every brand like it’s our own, exploring all the options and being thoughtful about the best outcomes. Everything we create is rooted in care, strategy, and shared pride in the final result.
Share some of your community involvement efforts!
At BeeCat, we’re passionate about mental health. We show up for this cause by partnering with our community and donating our time to help raise awareness. Right now, we’re working with Thorpewood and 88Visual on an initiative that brings alternative mental health therapies to light. Educating and empowering others to explore new ways to heal.
We believe everyone should have access to marketing education to help them reach their goals. Our founder, Meghan, volunteers her time leading workshops and offering 1:1 coaching to support others in getting their brands out into the world. As a community, we grow stronger when we share knowledge, lift each other up, and move forward together.
What do you do best?
We’re great at taking ideas and turning them into real, tangible outcomes. Whether it’s developing a brand from scratch, creating a video, or building an immersive event from the ground up, we excel at transforming concepts into work that not only looks good but makes an impact. Our clients trust us because we listen, we push boundaries, and we deliver what we promise.
Is there anything else about your business that you want the Chamber membership to know about?
We’re launching a new online series called “No Retainers.” In each episode, we’ll spend a day with a local business, getting hands-on, learning the ropes, and capturing the experience vlog-style. It’s our way of connecting with the community, seeing what a day in your world looks like, and putting ourselves in your shoes.
We want to get everyone involved. If you could use an extra set of hands for a day and want your business featured, reach out – we’d love to hear from you!
