Founder and President of The Knight Marketing Agency, CEO of Main Street Printing Company, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Alabama Standard
Every great story starts somewhere, and for our Women in Business series, we thought we would start with our founder.
Some women build businesses. Others build brands. Heather Knight has built both, and in doing so, she’s created something even more meaningful, a platform for others to grow.
As the President of The Knight Agency and CEO of Main Street Printing Company, Heather has established herself as a driving force behind some of Central Alabama’s most recognizable businesses. Her approach goes beyond traditional marketing. It’s rooted in strategy, relationships, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate a brand in today’s world.
But her vision didn’t stop there.
With the launch of Alabama Standard, Heather stepped into the role of publisher and editor-in-chief, creating a lifestyle platform designed to highlight the people, places, and stories that make this state unique. From local businesses and restaurants to community leaders and hidden gems, her mission is clear, to shine a light on what often goes unnoticed.
What sets Heather apart is not just her ability to create, but her commitment to community. Through her work, she has helped countless businesses grow, given entrepreneurs a voice, and created opportunities for others to step into roles they may have never imagined for themselves.
Behind the businesses and the vision is a strong foundation at home. Heather has been married to her husband, Joshua, for more than 20 years, and together they have built a life centered around faith, family, and support. As a mother to her two daughters, Natalie and Lillian, she carries the same passion into her role at home as she does in her work, leading by example and showing them what it means to pursue purpose with confidence.
Her leadership style is both intentional and personal. She believes in building long-term partnerships, not just client lists. She values loyalty, creativity, and the kind of work that makes a lasting impact.
Balancing multiple businesses, a growing media platform, and a vision that continues to expand, Heather represents a new kind of business leader, one who isn’t afraid to evolve, take risks, and lead with purpose.
