Meet Parker, the left brain
Logical, analytical, keen on mathematical computations, problem-solver
Parker Hodges is an experienced Internet professional with a proven track record of innovation and revenue generation using online metrics, publishing, distribution, advertising and marketing. He’s developed a keen understanding of the industry having worked it in since its infancy, and having held virtually every role involved in digital marketing.
Parker was key in growing a startup that ultimately managed 70 TV station websites for NBC, Hearst, Cox, McGraw Hill, Meredith, Post-Newsweek, and other groups. He helped establish a local online newsroom, a national news desk, and in three years, built a lead-generation, PPC text ad network, generating $250,000 per month.
Parker has helped dozens of businesses—small and large, service and manufacturing, local and national—develop and implement successful online marketing strategies. He’s particularly strong in conceiving, communicating and executing digital solutions to meet business needs.
Meet Sharon, the right brain
Creative, imaginative, pre-disposed to visual aesthetics, story-teller
Sharon Sweeney is a marketing communications professional who’s been delivering creative services for healthcare, technology and professional service organizations for 20+ years. Her experience includes strategic planning, branding, messaging, copywriting, and graphic design for print and digital campaigns.
With a particular inkling for healthcare, she’s worked with medical technology firms, health systems, specialty medical provider groups, payers and professional medical societies, giving her a glimpse of the industry from multiple perspectives.

These included supporting product launches, marketing campaigns, sales collateral development, and client communications, as well as managing trade shows, conducting competitive analyses and market development research.
Minnesota local
We’ve got a special affinity for our state. Yes, we love Prince. And Bob Dylan. We take pride in the Juicy Lucy. We are patiently awaiting a championship team. Any championship team. We play on our lakes year-round, water or ice. And we can’t get enough of the State Fair.
But it’s the people we like the most. We’re lucky to work with wonderful clients in the Twin Cities and across the state and are proud of the incredible work they do every day.
Maybe it’s the Midwestern upbringing, but we’re inclined to do right by our clients. We’re not interested in locking you into any long-term contract, or hijacking your digital accounts. We’re out to earn your business, whether a short-term project or long-term partnership.
If things ever change, because sometimes they do, no worries. All your assets are just that, yours. Simply change your passwords and you’re back at the helm.
At the end of the day, we want you to succeed. When it comes to our clients, we take their success personally.
