TONY FELICE
President & Chief Artist + Strategist | Founder, The Felice Agency
Brand Alchemist | Purpose-Driven Growth Architect | Trusted Guide to Visionary Leaders
I believe branding is a form of love — a way to show people how much you care by helping them feel seen, understood, and empowered.
For over 35 years, I’ve helped businesses unlock their boldest potential through intentional innovation and emotionally resonant storytelling. As the founder of The Felice Agency — recognized among the Top 10 Advertising and PR Firms in multiple industry rankings — I’ve built a reputation for helping brands grow with heart, purpose, and clarity.
Named one of the “20 People to Know in Marketing & Advertising” by the Phoenix Business Journal, a Great 48 honoree by Phoenix Magazine, and recipient of the One Community Local Hero Award, I bring a unique blend of strategic precision, artistic insight, and public-sector experience to every engagement.
From Hollywood studios to Capitol Hill, from Madison Avenue to Main Street, I’ve advised leaders, launched brands, and crafted messaging strategies that do more than drive revenue — they inspire trust, loyalty, and meaningful engagement.
We help you answer the questions that matter most:
Why should your audience care?
Why should they believe you?
Why should they trust you?
What makes you different?
And why does it matter?
Through our agency’s full-service offerings, we bring those answers to life:
Branding & Corporate Identity
Strategic Messaging & Campaign Development
Public Relations & Reputation Management
Web & App Design & Development
Social Media & Performance Marketing
AI-by™ (our signature approach blending AI with the human element)
I hold a degree in Operations Management from ASU’s Engineering School, where I graduated summa cum laude, and have completed graduate-level training through Harvard.
Outside the agency, I serve on boards and initiatives committed to health equity, design, the arts, and inclusive economic development — including appointments by Mayor Stanton and advisory roles with the Phoenix Art Museum, AIA, and the Arizona Community Foundation.
I’m also the co-host of Second Act Scratch, a podcast about reinvention, food, and finding meaning in unexpected places, and Santa Land, a grown-up fairytale podcast exploring grief, joy, and the magic of becoming.
If you’re ready to create something that’s not only beautifully built but deeply felt — let’s connect.

DOREEN FANG
Chief Influencer and Director of Social Media Influence
Executive Producer Felice Agency Podcasts
Cheri is responsible for social media influencer development and positioning. She is also the Founder and Chief Creative Officer for Savor Acts® |CEO/Co-Founder and Chief Pepper Pickler
Note: This isn’t a quick two paragraph bio. So prepare yourself for a bit of a read. 😁
As a chef, creating new recipes and challenging herself to make something “better” has always been her passion. It was this passion and desire to create better hot pickled peppers that really spurred the humble beginnings of Savor Acts, along with an over abundant pepper garden, HOT ASS was created. Pickling peppers, giving them as gifts; suddenly the request to sell them started this whole journey.
Doreen’s love of food and cooking started when she was 5 years old, but her professional cooking career has spanned over 26 years. She created a boutique catering business, Apropos Culinary Artistry, with her best friend and business partner, Anna, in the San Francisco Bay Area, while in culinary school. Then later started Dining with Doreen, her food blog. She was also a finalist on the Food Network’s, The Next Food Network Star, Season 6. Since her television debut on the Food Network, she continues to share her recipes as the resident chef on The Vegas Morning Blend and on various television stations across the country. She also continues to share her lifestyle and passion for food on various social media platforms like Instagram as DiningwithDoreen, and Facebook and Twitter.
Besides food, helping others and making a positive difference in the community is something that Doreen is incredibly passionate about. When her mom passed away from lung cancer in 2002, she and her sisters took a difficult moment and turned it into something positive by creating the The Bonnie Fang Foundation™. The tremendous impact her mom made as a nurse and individual has played a major influence in Doreen’s life. Giving back to the community in multiple ways is extremely important to her.
Growing up in California to Chinese/Taiwanese immigrant parents, Chinese food was what she was predominantly raised on, and it was her desire and openness to try new foods that took her to culinary school instead of going to medical school (or becoming a professional pool player). Her mom loved eating spicy foods, which also rubbed off on Doreen (and affectionately nicknamed her mom: Spicy Girl). As a Chinese-American, Doreen loves her culture and foods, but it is her passion to learn and try new foods from diverse cultures that pushes her to expand her food knowledge. She is always cooking and trying new things and is also working on creating more unique items within the Savor Acts® family.
To her friends, Doreen has always been the unfiltered jokester that loves to laugh, listens to friends and gives advice, spending time with friends and family, and loves food! Hence the fun names each of our peppers have. She also LOVES animals! In another life, she says she would’ve either chosen to be a comedian/actor or veterinarian.
Doreen’s life motto: Life is short…be kind to one another, eat well, laugh and cherish each moment you have with those you love.
