Who create Brands
From first-time wholesalers to established publishers, I support creative businesses ready to grow. Whether you need a sounding board, strategic plan, or industry decoder — I’m here to help.
Andy is indeed the Greeting Card Guru, passionate and engaged about all things stationery. As President of the Board of Directors of the Greeting Card Association, Andy was an inclusive leader who shepherded the organization through the growth and evolution of its *Noted: The Greeting Card Expo tradeshow. He has the ability to bring together different groups with differing goals to find mutually beneficial solutions. His creative approach helped advance visibility, and sales opportunities, for the members of the Greeting Card Association, particularly helping small makers gain shelf space at major retailers.

It's one thing to say that you want to make a difference and change the landscape of an industry but to actually do it is what Andy has done with his Emerging Makers Mastermind group. Led with kindness and true interest in change he created a space to brainstorm, decompress and navigate challenging situations. I valued the vast amount of resources, guidance, and opportunities that Andy provided. I am a better business owner for having met and worked with him.

Paper Rehab
Andy was instrumental in the early stages of my greeting card business. When I started out I had absolutely zero knowledge about the paper world but Andy's support enabled me to keep forging ahead. His knowledge and experience were invaluable, and his patience and unwavering encouragement made all the difference. Andy has a way of instilling confidence and making you think “you can do it”. He also provided information about outside resources I would have never discovered and introduced me to the GCA. His mentorship is why I am still Heavenly and a double bonus is that he has a great sense of humor and is so much fun to work with.

Words From Clients & Collaborators
As a greeting card creator and business owner, the knowledge and mentorship I received from Andy Meehan has been invaluable. I appreciated Andy’s initiative to create the Emerging Makers Meeting to support Black creatives like myself and other card makers who are underrepresented within the stationery industry.
His deep industry knowledge and passion for supporting entrepreneurs have significantly contributed to my business growth. Andy has the ability to tailor his guidance to your specific needs. His thought-provoking questions, and unwavering support have helped me refine my designs, expand my customer base, and develop effective marketing strategies.
I'm really grateful for the opportunity to be part of his mastermind class. If you're looking for a dedicated thought partner and advocate, Andy is the go-to mentor who can help you prioritize your creative and business efforts to insure your success.

I am a licensed artist who has worked with Andy, with pleasure, over the years. I also was privileged to have been chosen to take Andy’s Masterclass after last year’s ArtBizJam. He generously shared his extensive knowledge and experiences in the greeting card industry, to all of his students. Andy is an excellent communicator and shared many of his valuable business tips and strategies honed over his many years in business. Andy is also incredibly kind, funny, creative and generous! He is all about collaboration and it is wonderful getting to work with him. I’m a huge, huge fan!
