Okay, let’s meet the Talented Team:
Hayley Bendzik,
Founder & Director
Based in Calgary, Canada (but loves to travel – especially for work)
Hayley studied business management and marketing at the University of British Columbia, earning her degree in 2012. Developing creative and strategic skills through subject matter including branding, marketing, consumer behaviour, and corporate social responsibility, Hayley gained real-world marketing experience she turned into a freelance career that grew into YYC3 Inc.
As textbooks turned to ebooks, Instagram was created, and websites became mobile-friendly, Hayley was “captivated by how the digital economy would shift the way businesses, marketers, and consumers conducted themselves”. Her passion for storytelling and keen eye for detail turned into her mission “to discover and distribute stories worth telling”.
Today, she advises business owners, develops digital-focused marketing strategies, and manages a full-service team to execute on all things digital marketing and advertising. As the leader of YYC3 teams and projects Hayley’s clients call her by many names including copywriter, website designer, video director, campaign manager, and marketing coach.
Hayley is a truly jack of all digital marketing trades and directs monthly projects with the support of her team, and takes on many extra tasks and single-projects single-handedly. She adds her own flavour to every project she is a part of, noting that “a recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline and starting point from which to improvise… words have no flavour, you have to add your own.”
Outside of developing websites and managing clients and campaigns, Hayley loves to learn about the world through travel. She started while competing for Team Alberta in gymnastics, and travel now fuels her passions for food, fashion, and design. She enjoys skiing, golfing, rock climbing, puzzles, and board games.

She also proactively finds ways to connect with the target audience for her clients including sending DM’s that will convert to leads and sales.
Excelling in her role and exemplifying the core values at YYC3, Megan was promoted to Junior Manager and is now learning the ropes of Management as she works in a hybrid coordinator-manager role!

Kenzie Vollrath

Calgary, Canada
Kenzie is a born and raised Calgarian, who escaped the cold winters to study Fashion Marketing program at Blanche Macdonald Centre in Vancouver. Returning to Calgary amidst the global pandemic, she began to develop her career in the marketing industry in e-commerce, content marketing, and brand management. With an extensive background in both the retail and e-commerce fashion industry, Kenzie has an eye for design, trend forecasting, and consumer habits.
Joining YYC3 as a content coordinator, Kenzie was matched with our portfolio of publicly traded companies that operate on a slightly different monthly system than our privately-owned clients. These clients include Arras Minerals, Riverside Resources, and First Helium. She has exceptional organizational and communication skills, is a quick learner, and critical thinker. Whenever Hayley needs an extra hand, she turns to Kenzie whether it’s website design, putting together internal team presentations, or line-editing and formatting a strategic plan.
On the path to be a manager, she is also managing one of our new clients, Hidden Valley Garden, with the goal to expose herself to as many aspects of YYC3’s business as possible!
She’s also a business owner at Vol One Vintage who’s obsessed with textiles, and all things thrifting and upcycling! In her spare time (wait, do SMM’s ever have spare time?), you can find her with a matcha latte in my home studio reworking thrifted clothing, researching vintage styles, or doom scrolling social media (it’s research, right?) to find the latest trends to better our client brands! Kenzie immediately fit in alongside an amazing team of women and we’re so lucky to have her!

Elain is known within our team as being extremely organized, always ahead in her work, and always finding new ways to improve her deliverables. She is a valued resource for supporting new team members as they find their groove, which is why she was promoted to Lead Coordinator! As the Lead Coordinator, Elain trains and supports new team members in their roles, and is the first to beta test new internal systems and processes that Hayley comes up with!
Elain is a student at the Alberta University of Arts and excels in illustration and animation. She can also play more instruments than some people could probably name! She is passionate about tattooing and is working towards becoming a full-time tattoo artist after completing art school. For now, we’re thrilled to have her as a part of our marketing team.
Andrea Cruz
Content Coordinator
Calgary, Alberta
Andrea joined YYC3’s team of creatives who create content including reels, grid posts, stories, and email newsletters for our clients. With experience in fashion and retail, she was paired with clients who have female-focused audiences to create content that captivates the client’s target audience and encourages them to take action, whether it be responding to a poll or booking an appointment.
Andrea once thought she would take political science and pursue a career in politics, but that changed when she realized how great she was at social media and how interested she was in design and marketing. Today, Andrea is finishing a Marketing Program at SAIT and works on Cinnamon Girl Clinic, Jody Stoski Paramedical Tattoo Academy, and Heart and Sold YYC.
