“If you want pretty, we can do pretty. But we’re so much more than pretty.”

• Nothing gets him more excited than solving client marketing challenges with long-term, strategic solutions.
• Rumor has it he was once a pirate. We still call him “Cap’n” just in case.
• He’s a man of many talents and many pairs of yoga leggings.
• He’s figured how to combine his passions of travel, writing and photography as seen on Wandering Rose Travels.

“Can we rework this copy?”

• She’s a zealot for knockout copy and second-to-none customer service.
• Nothing makes her swoon more than a beautiful turn of phrase.
• She’s a founding member of Yale University’s first, all-female sketch comedy group, The Sphincter Troupe. (She had no hand in the name. She promises.)

“Let’s outline the big picture, then nail down the details.”

• She captures clients’ unique messages in a voice that commands attention.
• A lifelong passion for the written word, plus promotion and photography dabblings, sparked her love of creative marketing.

“The paper samples are in my office next to the zombie flamingo.”

• She brings order to chaos, morphing communication messes into masterpieces.
• A free-spirited detail freak, she’s been sighted perusing spreadsheets in a tutu.
• She’ll get to the bottom of any project, but her free time is spent reaching new heights as a rock climber.

“The AP Stylebook is my spirit animal.”

• Securing the perfect b-roll for the perfect sound bite is her JAM.
• Puzzles are her thing. Bring on a mess of project details and watch her emerge on the other side with a great solution.
• We’re a little worried she’ll move to Costa Rica to work among the sloths.

Gwen Saunders, Senior designer

“I tested this e-blast on 22 platforms. And it’s mobile-friendly.”

• She wrestles daily with internet browsers and email providers to make your web marketing beautiful, functional and versatile.
• She runs distances others drive. (Almost as fast!)
• She’s always scouting the next adventure abroad, though her request for a new, exotic office location hasn’t been granted yet.

Ashlyn Kellner, Senior designer

“I think we can offer at least one more option. Well, after I eat lunch.”

• With a sharp eye for page layout and a passion for concept development, you can be sure that her work will surpass your expectations.
• Unwilling to settle for average, she will push the boundaries to come up with just the right deliverable for any client request.
• Not limited to printed materials, her design eye can spot a beautiful lamp or throw pillow from a mile away.

Jim Tobalski, Project consultant

“You can’t create a pickle by sprinkling vinegar on a cucumber – you have to soak it. Just like marketing communications.”

• He’s done it all over 39 years – from the photo darkroom as a marketing intern to the corporate boardroom as an executive.
• He loves evaluating a company’s brand.
• Jim invented hiking. (At least that’s what a squeaky voice inside his head claims.)
