5 Reasons to Celebrate Kelly Stroud

Author: CH2

1.) Kelly Stroud moved to Hilton Head Island two years ago to be a graphic designer for Celebrate Hilton Head. Three months later she was the Art Director.

2.) When not staring at her Mac for hours on end, she can be found fishing and beaching it with friends. Or wakeboarding, snowboarding and jumping out of planes.

3.) “I’m Kelly Stroud. I’m proud to be a Stroud and you WANT to get to know me!”

4.) Ms. Stroud is from Chesterfield, Virginia, has lived in Switzerland and moved seven times before graduating High School. She won’t be leaving HHI anytime soon.

5.) If Kelly could be the Art Director at any other magazine besides CH2, it would be Vogue.

About Us

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), now entering their third year , has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.

Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, MySpace) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.

CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.
