Kelsey started her first brand, Sweat CBD in 2018 which she grew using affiliate marketing. 

She then went on to freelance her affiliate marketing services and eventually built a full service agency called BossBoxx. 

Lori started her career on Wall Street and then went on to launch a brand called Unicreamer and also take her experience to the agency world. 

Lori and Kelsey were introduced by Chris Harder after both joining his mastermind. 

Shortly after they started working together they realized that they had very similar goals and interests and both had a passion for helping brands. 

They decided to join forces and work together to help product based businesses start, launch & scale. 

After about a year of working together, they started to realize that affiliate marketing was bringing their clients the best results. 

They had a dream to help brands large and small build organic affiliate marketing programs that could help them scale the way affiliates helped both of their brands in the past, and Rexxy was born. 

Rexxy is an affiliate marketing hub where companies of all sizes can find tools and resources to design, launch, and scale a high-converting affiliate marketing program. 

While they continue to grow their agency, the Rexxy team is also gearing up to design and launch an affiliate tracking software in 2023.
