Each project needs careful planning, revising and a responsible person to take care of all the necessary tasks. Well Drew is the one! Apart from being the top in what he does he loves badminton, rugby, and Star Trek ( but not the new movies).
P.S… PJ loves the new Star Trek movies…
Nicole R.
Marketing Artist
What makes me different…
Some of what I do is consulting and teaching people how to leverage social media to meet their specific goals within their current resources and framework. The goal for many is to learn how to manage their own page or eventually manage them,
Then on the other end of the spectrum, I also handle multi million dollar clients that hire me so that they don’t even have to know their own passwords. Then there is everyone in between.
A good social media manager should strive to have no style when it comes to the social platforms they manage. We are suppose to become the client and their market.
My style is more in how I approach the entire process. I am definitely education driven. I want my clients to understand what we are doing and why. I ask a ridiculous amount of questions before I begin anything with a client. It can feel a little like an eharmony questionnaire. There is a reason every person is doing what they are doing. There is a reason your business is not run the way someone else with the same degrees, similar work experience and even specialties as you runs theirs.
Social Media is how we tell your particular story, it is how we convey your why.
I am conservative by default, just because a business “can” be on a social platform doesn’t necessarily mean it is the right place or time to be on it. Designing a strategy based on where a business wants to go and finding a sustainable way to get there is what I strive to do.
My thrill is in the digging – helping people find their story and getting excited to tell it and how.

Co-de
Mascot, All-Seeing Overlord
Co-de (short for Co-dependent but fitting for a web designer’s pup) is our beloved mascot, lap warmer and listening ear. His “cuteness factor” is off the charts and he exploits this fact to get whatever he wants. He helps keep our team on track and protects us from the occasional neighborhood cat.
