Straight answers, great work and chronic laughter

From health care to education, Neej brings a variety of experiences from different industries to the team. Her favorite part of public relations is the human element: building understanding and doing the work that strengthens relationships. If she’s not helping our clients gain visibility in industry publications or placing articles, Neej is likely spending time with family and friends, reading, or learning how to be a better plant mom.

A materials science and engineering graduate from the University of Michigan, Melissa never shies away from technically complex, challenging tasks. Her engineering background and B2B marketing expertise allow her to comprehend our clients’ technical products and infuse their programs with the elements necessary to solidify results. Outside of work, she enjoys playing pickleball, listening to audiobooks and traveling.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Whether regarded as a marketer with a bent for engineering or an engineer with a bent for marketing, Chris uses it to his advantage in his role as a client services lead. With an appreciation for restoring classic muscle cars and science fiction from the 60s, you’d think he’s an age-old hobbyist. If you ever see someone zooming down the Nürburgring in a TARDIS on wheels, you’ll know who it is.

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. Stacey is our resident vegetarian — actively trying to stop our office’s omnivores from eating meat. She regularly brings in homemade meals devoid of meat, which often include plants from her home garden.

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!

With both agency and client experience, Chris knows what it takes to drive programs from inception through implementation and analysis. When not at work, you’ll find her and her husband renovating their 1880’s historic home or simply relaxing with a good book.

Kelley is a project-oriented enthusiast who loves a good challenge. With her DIY engineer mindset, she delivers high-quality work to her clients. Outside of the office, Kelley is always seeking the next adventure, whether its skydiving or searching for the next giga coaster to ride with her two daughters.

Jess served as a valuable part of the marketing technology team as a contractor for more than a year before joining the agency as a full-time member. She is a proven developer who specializes in Drupal development and back-end LAMP technologies. Jess also has a good grasp of front-end development using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.  Her close association with the Air Force has allowed her to aim high and see the world — twice over at this point — and photograph her kids in various global locales.

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. 

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?

It doesn’t matter if it’s a mom-and-pop or a Fortune 500 company, chances are Amy will design and execute a strategic, integrated marketing campaign that enhances a brand’s identity. Which makes sense when you get to know her: she’s an interior designer at heart with an appreciation for the finer things in life—historic art, French cuisine and the magic of the Caribbean.

If you wonder why Abby wears so many hats in her client services support role, it’s because she’s a shopping connoisseur. When not helping clients achieve their marketing goals and objectives, she can be found pursuing her own goals and objectives, i.e., going to concerts, traveling, and exploring the eclectic cuisines offered by the region’s restaurants.

Greg is an experienced B2B marketer on both the client and agency sides. He grew up in the agency business, working at a family-owned shop. When he’s not helping our clients plan and execute marketing strategies, he’s likely fixing something. This self-proclaimed motorhead enjoys restoring classic cars and maintaining his house; he always has some sort of remodel or upgrade in progress.

Todd has more than a decade of experience in the field of web development and programming. During this time, he has gained substantial knowledge of JavaScript, PHP, HTML5 and CSS3 — all core technologies when bringing software to the web. He has also contracted with the Museum of the United States Air Force to produce a number of audio/visual exhibits, contributed to several open-source projects, and is a member of the WordPress Cincinnati developers group.

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.

Whitney assists the agency in researching, developing and executing client marketing plans. A former college basketball player at Walsh University (go Cavaliers!), she is a formidable opponent for anyone unwise enough to challenge her in a game of H-O-R-S-E. On weekends, you can typically find the caffeine-addicted “dog mom” running around Dayton with her husband and dog, Tucker, a beagle lab mix. 

With a knack for responsive design and software development, Matthew brings more than six years of front- and back-end development experience to TriComB2B. He enjoys hiking and exploring the local MetroParks when he’s not coming up with the latest software codes.​

Michelle is an accomplished and creative B2B marketing communications professional. As our director of public relations, she loves a good story.

A University of Cincinnati alumna, Carole considers herself a jack-of-all-trades; social media strategy, writing and editing copy, and long-form content creation are some of her favorite things. In her free time, she is usually binge-watching movies, spending time with her family, or testing out the latest recipe she found online.

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.

Kaitlyn is responsible for taking on all things TriComB2B and ensuring the office is running smoothly. After business hours, this yogi catches her calm at a local studio.

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.

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).

Every business has a unique story; Chris’ goal is to discover each of our clients’ stories. He relies on his broad journalism and content marketing experiences to explain complex B2B products and services. When he’s not writing about manufacturing and technology, Chris is an amateur astronomer, a rookie guitar player, and a long-suffering (yet loyal) fan of the Cleveland Browns.

As a creative director within several Midwest agencies, Mike has delivered ROI on scores of projects for B2B and B2C customers alike. Most recently from that state up north (i.e., Michigan), the UM fan now lives in OSU country, where both of his children attended. When not discovering new restaurants and exploring parks with his wife, Mike enjoys illustrating and reading.

If you call us at TriComB2B, Betina will be the first person with whom you’ll speak and will undoubtedly put a smile on your face! This family-centric Daytonian has returned home after eight years in Atlanta. She enjoys being an aunt to her five nieces and one nephew and exploring the outdoors.

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.

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.

Peter’s quest for simplicity guides his design process from first concepts through to final delivery. During his time away from the office, he enjoys riding his bike, hosting backyard bonfires, and making frequent visits to his hometown of Indianapolis.

Born and raised in Wisconsin, Jamie made his way to California and North Carolina before settling here in Dayton, Ohio. With career experience among the finance, manufacturing, retail and I.T. industries (especially the latter), he works with clients to build and execute marketing strategies to achieve their goals. When there’s no University of Wisconsin – Madison or Green Bay Packers game to watch, you’ll most likely find Jamie enjoying music, spending time with his family, and/or hiking, fishing or boating.

Danielle spent nearly a decade supporting the content of B2B publications; she now enthusiastically brings that experience to our team! When she’s not managing the agency’s writing capacity and content, she is likely spending time with family, friends or her puppy Marley Maize (named after Bob Marley and her hometown of Ann Arbor, Mich.) or listening to a true crime podcast.

In joining the TriComB2B team, Bill returns to his first loves: writing about hulking, dangerous machinery and explaining baffling new technologies. Bill attributes his success in the field — which includes numerous national advertising awards — to his lack of a technology background. Instead, he has had to rely on an unquenchable curiosity to learn and understand complexity. His hobby is to visit the public library and gather non-fiction books at random, never knowing what comes next: quantum mechanics or a celebrity biography.

With previous digital marketing and branding experience, she knows what it takes to manage events from start to finish.

Jonah started his career in B2B. Always in search of the unexpected idea, he’s delivered award-winning work for clients worldwide.
