We believe in digital advertising. We believe in telling it to you straight. We believe you are the star. And we believe that together we are better. We are Tailwind, the wind beneath your wings (we also believe in the occasional cheesy line). We are masters in paid media, lead generation, analytics, testing and above all; driving profits.As the Managing Director of Tailwind, I am responsible for: - Facilitating honesty. We don't hide fees, we don't have mark-ups, we don't lie to you. Digital paid media can be a scary space to navigate and my job is to make you know that we have your back (and how). - Push for greatness. Change is scary, but change is inevitable. I push our clients to think beyond what they think is possible. I push Tailwind team members to think differently and always have the "so what." They push me to be better too, it's a beautiful thing. - Grow the business. I focus on getting new business and growing existing by making sure our clients are happy (like really happy), our people are taken care of and we are operating efficiently and profitably.- Plan, then plan some more. Annual sales plans, growth strategies, training development. You name it. There always needs to be a plan - and one that starts with WHY. - Avoid stagnation. I am an eternal student and this space changes constantly. I thrive in getting smarter. I am always seeking education, it's kind of like a drug. - Share our expertise. We love sharing what we've learned whether through our Insights blog (shameless plug), during a presentation or on our weekly calls. We know our stuff and we like to share it with you! I'm here to make sure education is a priority. - Have fun! I spend a lot of time with these people and you better believe we are going to make this an enjoyable place. Laughter is my jam. - Take all the credit. Yeah, right. I work with brilliant, hard working individuals who kick some serious butt.

Everything we do aligns to the bigger picture - because in this business it's not about driving leads.

We are the force behind your business, leading you to success - but giving you all the credit.
