Uptown. Downtown. Riverside. Lakeside. Where do you need to go?
We help clients work with and connect to the diverse people and cultures of New Orleans and beyond.
About Us
HOW DO YOU TEACH AN OLD CITY NEW TRICKS?
We know New Orleans. We know Louisiana. There isn't just one kind of food, or people, or language, or even history. Folks are partial to their neighborhoods and their traditions. Word of mouth is still more persuasive than the Internet. It all can make starting a new business or an important project a tricky thing.
At Seventeen18 we know how to help organizations grow and to deliver a message so that all kinds of people will hear it – and pass it on.
We offer extensive start-up and business services, as well as marketing, media relations, project and event planning, DBE and inclusion strategies, and more to clients trying to navigate the regional market.
Seventeen18 is Michelle Nixon Stanton, Shäna Hartmann, and Trené McCormick. Let us help you save time and build success by using our skills to your advantage.

"I had the privilege to work with Seventeen18 as they coordinated the development, launch, and inaugural events and communications for the Louisiana Chamber of Commerce Foundation. At every step they worked to set LCCF apart from other business advocacy organizations, while maintaining the ability to communicate our mission and vision with strength and conviction."
– David St. Etienne, President and CEO, the Louisiana Chamber of Commerce Foundation
"Seventeen18 delivered professional products and administrative content for our organization with minimal oversight. They were incredibly easy to work with, taking our task list, performing independent industry research, and converting it into tangible policy manuals and guidance materials. All interactions were professional and assignment deliverables were received in a timely manner. Seventeen18 is an asset to any organization in need of technical writing and print collaterals."
– Lisa Mazique, Executive Director, Central City Economic Opportunity Corporati
