Partnerships that honor grit not gloss.
We’ve been quietly building in the background—and now we’re ready to share a new partnership that amplifies our mission.
We’re proud to welcome Hey Bex Creative House as the newest sponsor of Gritty is the New Pretty. Founded by Pacific Northwest native Becky LaFranchi, Hey Bex builds brands that resonate, not just look good. Bex’s journey, from shaping IKEA on a national stage to creating her own AI-powered creative house, mirrors the very grit and reinvention we stand for. She sees potential where others see walls, and that perspective is exactly why this partnership makes sense. Together, we’re amplifying women’s voices, reimagining systems, and proving that brand and leadership are about more than polish. They’re about presence, connection, and daring to lead differently.
Tune into Episode 30 of Gritty is the New Pretty to meet our proud sponsor Hey Bex Creative House. Bex dishes on her wild career journey (spoiler: it wasn’t linear), her take on the future of branding and AI, and why creativity always comes first in her world. If you’re ready to stop following the rules and start building a brand that moves people, this is the one you want in your ears because you already know Bex isn’t here to play it safe.
Her Creative Intelligence™ isn’t theory — it’s a full management team of 9 GPTs designed to help you build smarter, faster, and more human.
Because templates can’t hold your truth. Systems can.
