Meet The Flock
Tracy K. O'Neill
principal | mama crow | TKO
Tracy has been a marketing professional since the '90s, starting her career with New England Financial/Met Life. Luckily for her, the rise of electronic communication was happening right then, and that’s what allowed her to give up the commute from the Cape to Boston and start freelancing.
Simultaneously juggling the opening of a wine shop in Hyannis (another passion), Tracy’s first clients were in the financial sector, but she quickly developed new relationships and took on projects for local small businesses. After 18 years as an independent marketing consultant, Tracy did her own rebrand in 2018 with the launch of Two Crows Creative Group. Today, Tracy and her team serve many of the Cape's most recognized nonprofit organizations as well as a select group of owner-operated small businesses.
Tracy has a B.S. in journalism from Syracuse University and lives with her family in Buzzards Bay. The best advice she can give to fellow small business owners? “Focus your energies on what you do best, and hire awesome people to do the rest.”
Fun fact: While her love of dance is well known, her love of darts is under the radar. Once upon a time, Tracy was the captain of a C division dart league.

After living and teaching in North Carolina for a few years, she moved to Aspen, CO to be a ski bum for one winter (which turned into a few years!). While working at a busy restaurant at the base of a mountain, she met folks from all over the world which inspired her to get out and do some traveling. She was fortunate enough to waitress in the summers on Cape Cod and travel during the winters for a few years. While she traveled around the world, she decided to try working in a more community development focused career. She was introduced to the fine folks at Wellfleet Preservation Hall where she has worked for the past 6 years.
