Meet the Message
Strategy Experts^®.

Jenny loves a good story. So much so, she got a PhD in history (and has taught college for years). She also spent a decade with AutoZone—finance, communications. But that’s a whole different chapter. Now she passes time helping you tell your story. By listening, researching, interpreting. Using the past to focus on the future. So if you need A+ results, let Dr. J take you to school. Soon, your message will be one for the ages.

Her doodles are so spectacular, you want to hang them on the wall. And in fact, an art gallery in Florence, Italy has done so. This self-taught photographer and hand-lettering pro brings a global sensibility to your graphic design. After all, she's a product of some of the world's more exotic places (Zambia, India, and Mississippi). But mostly, Sweta is a digital native. Her usability-first mindset will make sure you get beauty that does its duty.

Kelsey has a thing for HGTV and DIY (and cats). Know what else she has? An MA — in Journalism and Strategic Media. Which is big news since our goal is to help you get your story straight. She gets giddy about headlines. Lives for timelines. And thrives on deadlines. So here’s the scoop. If you need message strategy improvement, you don’t have to do it yourself. Kelsey’s standing by, ready to help hammer your message home.

On the weekends, Alissa loves to go fishing. During the week, she's fishing for every tidbit to help tell your story. She interviews. She tours. She reads. And then, she writes award-winning copy. It might surprise you to learn that this former Boeing-subsidiary business analyst was also a touring trumpet player. But given that unusual combo, it's no wonder she gives you dead-on strategic messaging with siren-song effectiveness.

If you’re looking for Laurie, there’s a good chance she’s burnin’ rubber through her beach community — on her red tricycle. And when she’s not, her other wheels are turning, thinking of ways to push clients to the front of the pack. With 23 years’ experience, she’ll ask the right questions. Plan for the unexpected. See the big pic. With Laurie, you get a pro in the driver’s seat who'll go the extra mile. Literally.

Carolina is more than happy to fill up your cup — with coffee. In fact, she roasts her own beans, then carefully blends them for the perfect daily drip. She will not, however, fill up your files. That means she despises clutter. Which means your deliverables are clean, clear, and concise. So if your message is stale, worn out from the daily grind, place an order with Carolina. Her fresh ideas will have you demanding a refill.

To Christian, there’s no such thing as downtime. If he’s not working, he’s learning something new, whether it’s blacksmithing or fixing cars or mastering every programming language possible. (If you ask him what he does on days off, don’t be surprised if the word “algorithms” comes up. It did when we asked.) His persistence has driven him from software engineer to teacher to technical director. And now it’s working for you.

Josephina is a Type-A, 4'11" bundle of energy who loves to play football. She tramples the weak and hurdles the dead! Ok, that’s a touch strong. But she does work hard. And when it comes to message strategy, she knows her X’s and O’s. She’s drawn up winning plays for The UPS Store. Carrier. And Carhartt. She’s managed multimillion-dollar projects for ALSAC/St. Jude. Need your brand to take the lead? Recruit Jo. She’s your MVP.

LisaMarie travels the globe. But don’t look for her at some froufrou resort. You’ll find her with the locals, asking, “What are y’all doing over here?” Because at heart, she’s a learner. And she’s a giver. Looking for ways tech can help folks. Bridge gaps. Empower. That’s probably why she worked at three universities and ran a school in Ghana. And that’s exactly why she’ll make sure your message is at the top of your class.

Kara wanted to be a pig when she grew up. Not because they’re smart (they are), but because she loved playing in mud. Makes sense now, given her creativity and how mud helps kids develop tactile skills and active imaginations. Today, she’s traded mud for message strategy—molding and shaping content into cool creations that appeal to your customers’ senses. Trust us. When it comes to Kara, this little piggy knows how to market.

Ellie’s fearless. At 17, she packed up and drove from Chattanooga to Cali — in a Fiero. She wears white all year and doesn’t care what you think about it. She drinks Bloody Marys at night. And for clients, she transforms scary esoteric data into easy-to-understand content. Visual storytelling, she calls it. She’s a one-woman think tank. Five-star communicator. And she’ll help you see the forest, despite those darn trees.

Darren’s a laid-back guy. But when it comes to analytics—it’s game on. (Which puts his sport management degree to good use. Well, that and his MBA.) Yep, this Vols fan loves problem-solving almost as much as he does basketball. (And his Goldendoodle.) Anyway, if you’re ready to put a full-court press on the competition, let Darren have a go at your stats. He’ll help you draw up a winning strategy—without even breaking a sweat.

Angela expects things to run smoothly. That’s probably why she’s passionate about fast cars. (She used to handle the accounting for a NASCAR Sprint Cup team.) It also explains why she’s so good at her work. With her at the wheel, accounting runs like a well-oiled machine. Our vendors get paid early. We make rock-solid financial decisions. And business hums. It just comes with the territory when you’re working with a Beemer.

Elaine loves hunting for junk. Cool junk. Like midcentury chairs, rustic shutters, and antique doorknobs junk. She can spot potential a mile away. Then she cleans it up. Polishes it. And finds the perfect place for it. She’s done it for clients, too. Like ServiceMaster, Medtronic. So if your message is in poor condition, don’t give up on it. Elaine will help you turn trash into treasure. And talent like that is a rare find.

Josh is always on the lookout. Not because he listens to too many true-crime podcasts (he does), but because he’s curious. About people, places, ideas. He’ll bring that same energy to your digital marketing. From SEO to content to the latest tech, he’ll investigate. Interrogate. Instigate. Then he’ll deliver a strategy so premeditated, your brand’s digital presence will go from cold case to case study. Now that’s a plot twist.

Ottis may know his way around a casino, but it’s his all-in work mentality that pays off. He’s led teams. Coordinated production. Worked on national campaigns. And all for big brands, from Sonic to Interstate Batteries, Nokia, and CompUSA. He even wins every office holiday décor contest because (trump card) he’s an expert craftsman. So when it comes to your message strategy, bet on Ottis. He’s jackpot, every time.

Not gonna lie… Matthew helps hold this place together. He’s our computer troubleshooter. Productivity booster. And big-ol’-heavy-things mover. He keeps our server serving and our printers printing — which helps us deliver message strategy that has clients cheering. But more than anything, Matthew inspires us with his motto to do better and be better than the day before. Everybody say it with me now: Thank you, Matthew!

Dig this. Cammi has coordinated publications for an archaeology firm. Copyedited scientific articles. And built brand guidelines for a Fortune 100. With 30+ years in the biz, she ain’t afraid to get down ’n’ dirty with trademarks. Contracts. Or all that compliance stuff. And she can unearth a no-no from a mile away. That means your message is professional. Polished. And fit for an exhibit every time.

This guy doesn't miss a beat. And we're not just talking typography and timelines. We're talking guitar. When he's not mastering kerning, he's making music. He's a believer in its ability to entertain, empower, and educate. And he applies that same philosophy to his craft. His details are intentional. Purposeful. Connected. A perfect arrangement every time. Trust us. You'll want to put Eric on repeat.

Elizabeth grabs life by the horns and her motorcycle by the handles. She’s raced sailboats on the Gulf of Mexico. Bungee jumped from a hot air balloon. And always has an attitude of gratitude. Got a job on the horizon with no margin for error? Have a need for speed? Relax. With Elizabeth at the helm, you get a troubleshooter. A process improver. A five-steps-ahead doer. She’s exactly the shot of adrenaline your project needs.

Nichole ain't scared to work. At 15, she sold nachos at a bowling alley and has been employed ever since. From cheese to trees, she paid for college by drafting landscapes. She’s a pro disc golfer, photographer, and painter. But don’t let her artsy side fool you. She’s a process lover and a messy spreadsheet hater. What does that get you? A hard worker with vision who can hit a campaign target with the flick of the wrist.

Sharon taught environmental ed to kids for 25 years. Now she keeps our agency ecosystem thriving. But ask what's dear to her, and she'll say her four kids, five grandchildren — and Star Wars. That's right. Star Wars. And she'll size you up by your reaction. You've been warned. Because Sharon has a black belt in Taekwondo. And she's a certified storm spotter. Yep, she's kinda awesome. A fan, Yoda is.

Robert was born to create. He writes, draws, paints. And is probably the coolest guy in the room. He also watches A LOT of killer thrillers. That’s ok, because you know what else is pretty killer? His talent. With 16 years of experience, he’s had clients like Target, Best Buy, and Macy’s. So if your brand needs some digital or print rescue, here’s how the story ends: Robert will captivate your audience…and thrill you to death.

Kory's passion is baseball. He played through high school and college, and coached and played in the American Legion Nationals — and brought home a championship. But his dedication to teamwork doesn't end on the field. He'll put it to work on your projects. Making sure all the stakeholders are on the same page. Striking out inefficiencies. And keeping his eye on the big picture. So each webpage he creates is a home run.

Shelties and sports cars are Kristy's two loves. (Her dog Kody would tell you he's definitely number one.) But web design is among her passions. Whatever your web woe, Kristy has probably seen it — and fixed it — before. From initial concept to coding to creating original content, she's our web wizard. She's been doing it for brands like Frito-Lay and Children's Medical Center of Dallas for years. And now she'll do it for you.

Brenda spent 14 years in QA. She’s a pro at problem solving, communicating, and providing exceptional services. And cooking. If you ask about her job, she'll say it’s like baking a cake. There are ingredients. Steps. No shortcuts. And if you omit even one thing, your product tastes terrible. Or was it your cake tastes terrible? You know what we mean: no cutting corners = blue ribbon results.

As a Navy vet, he's earned four achievement medals. As a web marketing pro, he's maintained over forty sites, including ISLANDS, Florida Travel + Life, and Boating Life, just to name a few. And his fervor for doing great work is matched only by his love of NASCAR. Look at his career history, work ethic, and hobbies, and it's clear, Todd is all about performance. So no matter what your project, he's a guy you want on your crew.
