THE BACK STORY
Billy Ivey is an author, award-winning copywriter, and brand strategist with more than 25 years experience working on accounts like Chick-fil-A, The Home Depot, Major League Baseball, and hundreds of other local, regional, and national brands.
Billy lives in Birmingham, Alabama with his super-hot wife, Bethany, and their five better-than-average-looking children.
(He wrote this bio, by the way. If you could make sure Bethany sees it somehow, he’d sure appreciate the help.)
Each morning before his kids catch the school bus, Billy packs their lunches and places a hand- written note next to the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, bruised bananas, and juice boxes.
Big deal, right?
Well, a few years ago, Billy began posting his lunch notes to social media, and they went viral.
Then, he and his Napkinisms partnered with the Chick-fil-A Foundation in Atlanta to provide more than 3,000 lunches and inspiring messages to children in need in the first year!
Now, hundreds of thousands of people have seen and shared “Napkinisms" throughout the world, and Billy recently partnered with Children’s of Alabama to share a smile with the hospital’s patients and their families seven days a week!
The Power of a Napkin is Billy’s story of doing small things to make a big difference in the lives of others.
