Becky's Companies:
Est. 2006
Becky McKinnell is the Founder/CEO of iBec Creative, Portland, Maine’s leading award-winning digital agency. Becky started her first company the day after she graduated college. Even though she was inexperienced in the business world, she knew that she could help small businesses thrive online. Since then, alongside her talented team, she has helped over 500 businesses find success online.
Est. 2018
Becky's lifestyle brand, Wildwood Oyster Co. designs and manufactures handbags that feel like sitting on the beach or soaking in a summer night. Wildwood started when Becky designed a leather handbag for herself that reminded her of her love for the ocean. When she wore her bag, she had so many people stop her that she knew it was a sign to start another company. Since then, thousands of women around the world also carry Wildwood bags.
Starting out
"Put your big kid pants on. Even if you got them on clearance."
No matter what age you are, starting new things can be scary. But they stop being scary if you take the first step. So don't wait to be a certain age to do what you want to do.
Becoming a Certified B Corp
"We now have a common language for what it means to be a 'good business' and can prove it...and improve it."
-Becky McKinnell
Business as a force for good
Becky believes that as business owners, it is our fundamental responsibility to be a great place to work, do right by our clients, give back to our community, and reduce our negative impact on the environment. Becoming a certified B Corp in 2022 shines a spotlight on who iBec is as a company, what iBec believes in, and the power of what iBec can do as a team.
Making time to do all the things
"Think of your creative time like a treasure hunt. It is currently buried in your whirlwind of activity but it does exist and you have to find it."
-Becky McKinnell
