Straight answers, great work and chronic laughter

Melissa is our resident Canuck. With a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, over a decade of marketing experience and advanced technical proficiency, she is a vital resource for our clients. After work, she is most likely in a car; managing her four children’s busy sports schedules is akin to operating a full-time carpool service! When not cheering at a hockey rink, she is usually walking her Bernese Mountain Dog, Ruth, or traveling cross-country.

The Marketing Technology team can always count on Earl for project support. Although he may not be the best at coding, he’s definitely good at tracking cookies!

With a background in the manufacturing, aerospace and defense sectors, Kayla is right at home in the digital B2B marketing space. When she’s not hard at work, she’s likely walking her dog, cheering at her son’s soccer games, or attempting to complete a New York Times crossword puzzle without cheating.

Joe has marketing communications on the brain and sincere interests in helping clients solve complex problems and connect with their intended audiences. When not in the office, he loves spending time with his family, playing soccer, and supporting his favorite European club team. Did we mention he’s also a bourbon lover?

Jonah started his career in B2B. Always in search of the unexpected idea, he’s delivered award-winning work for clients worldwide. He photographs his vacations on a vintage film camera and believes there’s soul to analog. If he’s not having dance parties with his three daughters, you’ll find him at Dorothy Lane Market trying to be a Top Chef.

Scott brings more than 15 years of marketing and communications experience to his client services role at TriComB2B. Before he entered the world of marketing, he worked for several of Dayton’s professional arts organizations. In fact, he has logged time in every theatre in Dayton — except the one where TriComB2B’s offices are currently located.

and bothering his wife with bad jokes.

Kevin has three decades of design and production experience and has worked for several Dayton-area advertising agencies. Aside from his wealth of design knowledge, Kevin, a lifelong Boston Red Sox and Buckeye fan, knows a thing or two about baseball.

Hannah studies economic indicators and tracks supply and demand changes to best identify growth strategies through digital marketing. In addition, she applies her analytical thinking and expertise to web, SEO, SEM, database marketing, email, social media and programmatic advertising campaigns. Outside of the office, Hannah and her husband enjoy staying active (and competitive!) and exploring SoCal as new San Diego residents.

As an expert in strategic communications, Pattie has extensive experience leading companies through high-stakes crises. She anticipates and addresses issues without losing sight of the long game — effectively building brands, protecting reputations, and achieving results. It’s no surprise that she is an avid hiker who embraces a “no road, no problem” mantra.

With a rich history of marketing roles throughout her career, Lorie supports agency clients by strategically helping them develop and deliver creative marketing programs to reach their campaign goals. When not working on ROI, lead generation and the like, Lorie logs odometer miles driving her kids to their sporting events, taking their pictures, and single-handedly keeping the iced tea industry afloat.

The latest agency University of Dayton alumna, Abby assists in the strategic development of clients’ digital campaigns. When she’s not boosting their digital marketing efforts, you can find her listening to Taylor Swift (any other Swifties out there?), cooking, spending time with her friends and family, or discovering places around Dayton.

Andrew is one of our digital marketing experts here at TriComB2B. He has helped technically oriented clients grow and convert their web traffic for more than a decade using his creativity, data-driven approaches and commitment to professionalism. When not at work, you can probably find him playing his guitar or jogging in the woods.

A materials science and engineering graduate from the University of Michigan, Melissa never shies away from technically complex, challenging tasks.

Lauren, TriComB2B’s third School of Advertising Art alumnus, always designs with a fresh perspective. She has had her work displayed in art museums and galleries and was also featured in GDUSA Magazine as a “designer to watch”. When she’s not at work, you can find her swooning over vinyl records and re-watching Wes Anderson films (for what must be the 100th time).

Dan displays a high level of enthusiasm and dedication to any artistic endeavor or project he undertakes. This can be anything in the realm of web and print design, art or photography projects. Dan’s lunch breaks are often spent pumping iron in our office gym. Other than spending time outside with his family, the Dayton native enjoys nature photography, drawing and riding his motorcycle.

Todd has more than 20 years of experience in the field of web development and programming. Throughout his career, he has gained substantial collective knowledge of JavaScript, PHP, HTML5 and CSS3 — all core technologies when bringing software to the web. In addition, he has contracted with the Museum of the United States Air Force to produce audio/visual exhibits and has also contributed to several open-source projects.

Sara face-planted into B2B writing by accident and has never clambered back out. Her experience runs the gamut — from biopharma to AdTech to education to finance to industrial to all the things. Her specialties are unignorable humor and unforgettable empathy. When Sara’s not working, she’s covered in dirt, tallying her sleep debt, or wishing donuts were healthy.

Erin brings to the agency more than 20 years of communications and marketing experience. Often heeding her motto, “This calls for a spreadsheet!,” she routinely organizes data via said method. When Erin isn’t managing agency projects or prioritizing client workflow, the perpetual Pinterest pinner can be seen spending time with her family — her husband and their twin daughters — or playing tennis. Watch out, Wimbledon!

Erin supports the agency’s marketing automation efforts to optimize the digital presence of our clients. This Ohio Northern grad (go, Bears!) loves playing sand volleyball and going to SPENGA with her mom. And as our resident Survivor expert, you can usually find her binging a new season on the weekend — then telling everyone about it on Monday!

Denny skillfully oversees the distribution of literature and materials for our clients. But marketing wasn’t always in his blood. Denny spent more than 30 years working in information technology for one of Dayton’s premier industrial component manufacturers. That’s why he not only understands our customers’ needs but has no problem maintaining our inventory and order management systems. Like many of us, Denny is a die-hard fan of the University of Dayton Flyers.

Chris is living proof that engineers have feelings, too. Contrary to his engi-nerd, even-keeled exterior, he is brimming with emotions beneath the surface. Does this help him better relate to and understand our clients and their highly engineered products and services? You bet. It also means he can find the emotional threads in campaigns that connect with their target audiences, who are — you guessed it — often engineers themselves.

With 15 years of career experience in marketing roles, Karen is prepared to work with publications to craft and execute the most beneficial media plans for our clients. When she’s out of the office, you can find her traveling with her family in their RV on their quest to reach all 48 contiguous U.S. states and Canada!

As a creative director within several Midwest agencies, Mike has delivered ROI on scores of projects for B2B and B2C customers alike.

When not discovering new restaurants and exploring parks with his wife, Mike enjoys illustrating and reading.

Joshua uses marketing and media to promote our clients effectively and collaborate with our team to create compelling social media and PR content. Outside of work, he loves weekend getaways with his wife and spending time with their German Shepherd, Leonardo. And did we mention he’s a drummer?

Lindsay joins the ranks of our talented School of Advertising Art alumni in her production role. Her fine arts background allows her to design with a detail-oriented eye while working in a plethora of media. When she’s not creating incredible designs at work, she enjoys painting, crocheting, discovering new music, and spoiling her two cats.

With a need for speed, Tucker is the first one to join a Teams call — so that he can promptly settle in for a nap. But don’t be fooled; he’s always listening intently during meetings … for the rustle of a treat bag (of course).

If you call us at TriComB2B, Nicole will be the first person with whom you’ll speak — and undoubtedly put a smile on your face!

Quattro (he was the fourth TriComB2B employee named “John”) uses his “particular set of skills” to prevent errors in any marketing material we produce. His career encompasses positions in the news, publishing, and advertising industries in both Philadelphia and Baltimore. A loyal fan of the N.Y. Giants, 1980s hair bands and B-level action movies, Quattro’s sense of humor always keeps the office mood light when deadlines loom.

Stacey is responsible for designing and producing an array of client materials such as brochures, technical bulletins and manuals, trade show booth graphics, flyers, and more. When she isn’t hanging out with her Shih Tzu Teddy and Beagle Daisy, you can find her in a garden harvesting fresh fruits and veggies (we love when she shares) or recording personal bests on her Peloton.

It’s hard to fit all of Tom’s experience and expertise into a few sentences. With names like Disney, Lucasfilm, and Procter & Gamble, he’s earned his nickname of “Obi-Tom” as the writer to call when he is the “only hope”. But being our senior copywriter isn’t the only thing Tom enjoys; he and his wife took up kayaking over the pandemic, and he also loves anything history related. 

Few people have held the same job since graduating from college. Even fewer go on to own that company. John, however, lays claims to both exceptions. Starting as an accountant in 1985, John partnered with Chris in 2006 to transform the company into a leading B2B marketing agency. When not lending his media expertise, operational guidance and financial acumen to day-to-day activities, John is traveling to one of his favorite global destinations.

Danielle is a veteran marketing and brand strategist, with nearly a decade of marcom experience. A native of sunny Arizona, she and her family use their free time to explore the incredible restaurants and coffee shops within their hometown of Gilbert.

Michelle is an accomplished and creative B2B marketing communications professional. As our senior director of public relations, she excels at not only telling client stories, but also sharing them with the right audiences. When not making our clients famous, you can find her at CycleBar, reading a good book, or spending time with her family at OSU football and Cincinnati Reds baseball games.

Whitney leads our account teams in the research, development and execution of marketing plans that will position our clients for growth. She’s been instrumental in guiding our clients through some of their most complex and largest launches. Whitney is a former college basketball player at Walsh University (go, Cavaliers!). When she’s not making sure she’s still got her jump shot, she’s exploring Dayton with her husband Miles, daughter Poppy and Beagle lab mix Tucker.
