Meet Us
Whitney Byerly, Co-Founder
Location: Atlanta, GA
Whitney has spent the past 10 years dancing through the entertainment industry (not literally, though she does love to dance-albeit terribly). Her career took off doing marketing on the record label side (Average Joes Ent, Universal Music Group) before landing at CAA managing music brand partnerships.
Prior to founding Happy Friday, she was hired on at award-winning entertainment marketing agency FlyteVu as the company's first employee where she oversaw the Entertainment Talent team and led client accounts for Bumble, Norwegian Cruise Line, Tennessee Tourism, American Red Cross, Cracker Barrel, CLEAN Cause, Mary Kay, and Snap Fitness among many others.
As her family's first born, she's always had a heart for paving her own path and is thrilled to start every week with a Happy Friday!

Liz McCool, Co-Founder
Location: Nashville, TN
Liz began her career as one of the founding members of Rocket Experiences, leading corporate partnerships with Anheuser-Busch, Hilton Hotels, Gaylord Entertainment, TC Restaurant Group and more. As a Belmont University alumna, the entertainment industry has long since been home, leading Liz to spend time at CAA, Rebel One Management and most recently FlyteVu, one of Nashville's most successful entertainment marketing agencies. There, as Talent Strategist, she oversaw all celebrity & influencer partnerships for brands such as Bumble, VS PINK, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, CLEAN Cause, Jack Daniel's, The Martin Agency, BEN Group, DELL, E & J Gallo and more.
Hailing from a long line of entrepreneurs, starting Happy Friday was the natural next step in her career!
