Our Team

I came out swinging from an east Cleveland basement, armed with markers and a healthy addiction to coffee. My true loves are pizza, frisbees, records and general disc-shaped items. When I’m not eating pizza, I’m looking at the latest branding trends. But usually, I’m eating pizza.

G’day! As a true blue, dinky die Aussie, I love fielding questions about my homeland, sewing, knitting, Vegemite, and my boss (she writes the checks). A previous career in hotels and hospitality in no way prepared me for the agency life, but this place rocks!!

I’ve lived most of my life in Buffalo, NY. Coming here was a big change for me. Seeing a local team perform well for once was great. I love the area and being close to history and things to do. The DMV is becoming one of the largest tech-focused areas in the US, which is what enticed me most.

Client services isn't for the weak and weary. We are the organizers of chaos. The calm in the storm. The believers in magic. And I have a pretty amazing team of wizards and magicians that work hard to deliver exceptional services every day.

I’m a proud wife and mom of a boy with strong negotiating skills and a boxer rescue who is an escape artist. I'm a romantic at heart with a penchant for love stories, kids and pets. Growing up in Malaysia—a glutton’s paradise—made me a complete foodie, so let’s catch up somewhere over good food and drinks. Just give me time to scour the menu because I’d want to try it all.

I’m an American Idol wannabe, football fan, big-time foodie, small-time gardener and people person. I enjoy decorating, sipping a lemon drop martini and going on cruises. Production is my perfect career, because it encompasses everything from start to finish, and I like to be involved in all of it.

This world is bonkers, and I’m in awe of everything in it—trailer park artwork, pizza, dogs, Billy Strings, “The Room,” ping-pong, you name it. My fascination drives me to travel, find lots of live music, and stare blissfully at my family, friends, and colleagues as often as possible. Is that weird?

I'm a bundle of contradictions. Mom to two amazing daughters—highlight of my life, and never again. Fiercely independent—until FOMO sets in. Finished the Baltimore Marathon—never played varsity. Hiking? When, where, I’ll meet you there. Camping? No FOMO here. Sand in my toes, can’t have enough. Swimming in the ocean, I’ll stick with the sand. Pink makes everything better. Red only in moderation. Love data, but save the Excel wizardry for someone else. Digital strategy mirrors life's contrasts. Blending opposites to create an engaging, memorable experience—that's me, that’s what I’m about.

Recommended by four out of five people who recommend things, I am a proud mom and wife with a really cool day job. Aggressively unfancy and a Diet Pepsi addict, I always feel sad for seedless watermelons, because what if they wanted babies?

The best thing about me is my dog, Nathan. He's 50% dachshund, 50% chihuahua and 100% my life. I’m a Towson Women's Lacrosse alum, born-again collector of Pokémon cards and someone who always has a craft project going on. I also love Star Wars and spending time with my parents, in that order.

Growing up I loved to draw, build and take things apart—computers were fascinating at first sight. I've been designing and building websites from the days of modems and dial-up Internet trial floppy disks. I love spending time with my wife and kids, watching movies, the outdoors, and being a pastor.

I've spent over half of my life in the restaurant industry and still bartend on the weekends. Multitasking, listening to customers and pivoting, all while staying calm, is essential. I thrive on chaos and helping clients achieve goals, whether that be a best-in-class campaign or a tasty cocktail.

Being Irish, I revolve my life around family, sports, outdoors, and—most importantly—having a drink and a bit of craic (good times) with the lads. I grew up playing hurling and Gaelic football, and now I spend my time traveling, battering and hacking my way through Gaelic Athletic Association clubs.

I am nerdy about everything from music and video games to sports, anime, Star Wars, and marketing! I’ve always been interested in how we relate to our favorite brands and that curiosity has guided me throughout my career. Building connections with others and going to the beach are my favorite!

I’m on a perpetual quest for the perfect bite, whether it’s at a new restaurant or experimenting in my own kitchen. A foodie at heart, I’m thrilled to be combining my career with my passion for food. Outside of the office, you’ll find me whipping up a sourdough loaf, reading a good book or Bon Appetit magazine, shaking up the perfect martini with a twist, or taking a long walk with my husband and pup. Let’s swap recipes and favorite reads, dish on the latest dining spots and pull consumer heart strings together.

Curiosity is an unfortunate trait for cats, but for me, it’s the opposite. I love asking questions and investigating. It’s fun to learn new things, but there’s always something special about rediscovering old ones—like overgrown hiking trails or forgotten family recipes.

Golf is my thing. I’m ready for tee time, anytime. When I’m not golfing or spending time with my family, you can probably find me behind the grill cooking up something amazing. I’m a big Baltimore sports fan, too—go O’s and Ravens!

The three most important things to know about me are that I have read hundreds of books, spent countless hours watching Grey’s Anatomy, and LOVE Harry Styles. I am a born and raised Marylander who enjoys finding new places to explore around the state.

Travel, art and interior design are core to who I am! I love culture, food and music in new places. I’m excited by a blank canvas or being behind a camera. I’m always changing my environment with color, texture and fabric to create an unexplored perspective. It’s key to growth, evolution and clarity.

Home, family, nature—enjoying the simple things in life. Pet adoption is my passion—finding homes for unwanted animals. I would take them all in if I could, but I have my two rescue dogs, Hannah and Henry, who now rule my heart and my home.

How did a Zimbabwean end up in the East Coast, coding for a living? A Game Boy I got when I was eight. It ignited my love for software and it’s taken me to some interesting places, from building websites for a tech startup in Cape Town to media companies in the U.S. In the rare days I’m not coding, I like going on road trips. The best one involved bungee jumping from one of the highest bridges in the world. Sky diving is next.

Blue crabs with Old Bay. Natty Boh. Fed Hill. Berger cookies. I bleed orange in the summer and purple in the winter. Gold almost all year long because, well, hockey never ends. Baltimore is my NeverNever Land, and in my next life I’d love to have a late-night bakery on Cross Street.

"I am a part of all that I’ve met". Born and brought up in different cities across a diverse India, I've traveled all the way from home to find the next big adventure at Marriner. (Ask me where "home" is and watch me glitch for half a minute). Music, books and everything spicy fill the in-between.

I love hanging out with my grandkids making tiny foods out of Sculpey. I'm a card-carrying font addict, and I love to cook, eat and draw food. On the weekends you’ll find me hanging out with Big Nick, singing karaoke after a few shots of José Cuervo (at home—no need to subject the public to that).

Words, words, words. I just can’t get enough. That’s why I spend my days crafting copy and my nights and weekends writing fiction or book reviews. The rest of the time, I’m in the kitchen stirring up curries, cookies or cocktails, curled up with my cats watching Frasier or enjoying challenging music.

Born and bred in horse country, I love the Kentucky Derby and am a die-hard Louisville Cardinal fan. My favorite professional golfer is Justin Thomas, my favorite day of the year is Selection Sunday and my favorite vacation destination is Hilton Head Island.

I’m a glass-half-full kind of girl. I was Maryland-born and bred, but I prefer oysters over crabs and a martini over an orange crush. Whether I’m catching happy hour, trying new foods or exploring a new destination, I’m fueled by a passion for discovery! And when I'm not on the road, you'll find me filling my home with plants, playing Fleetwood Mac on repeat, perfecting my ping pong skills (I am a self-proclaimed professional) and spending time with friends and family, or with my two cats, Tony and Rattlesnake––my pride and joy.

The food industry is kind of in my blood—I’ve had two great uncles and a grandfather in the business to prove it. I’ve planned ticker tape parades for Wendy the Snapple Lady, penned op-ed pieces on school lunch, and I’ll fight the first person who doesn’t think the best pizza is from New Haven (forgot to mention I’m a Connecticut native). Other than that, I like to run marathons and spend time with my wife, two kids and our dog, Shepley. I’d tell you how he got his name, but it’s a long story.

Growing up on a farm made me appreciate the beauty of fresh fruits and veggies. Could be one of the reasons I’m a plant-based eater. Coming back to an agency that specializes in food & beverage is really exciting. Walking through the office & talking about our customers every day makes me hungry!

I’m a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll (and a little jazz, bluegrass, hip hop…). But one thing is for certain, I will always be surrounded by music. Friday night jamborees with the wife and kids? Check. Stop-light car karaoke? For sure. Music inspires, provokes thought and makes you feel. But most importantly, music connects people.  A great marketing strategy will do the same thing, if you have the right group playing the song. Good news is, I’m jamming with a pretty tight band.

Family, food and friends. One of seven kids in a family where everyone brought a friend to dinner, Tighe learned these values early—along with a natural understanding of food, beverage, hospitality and how to please crowds. A very successful foodservice career naturally ensued. Recognizing a real need for businesses that understand client and customer insights held the door wide open to running an agency. All the while, the game of golf fascinated Tighe from an early age, carrying his own bag through Division I golf up until today. Good business, good friends, food and hospitality all start there.

An avid amateur kickball player. A Purple Patio regular. And your favorite person on the aux. A true Marylander, but I hate Berger cookies. If I’m not tailgating or buying a concert ticket you can find me hanging with friends and family, obsessing over typography, or starting a new art project.

I love the idea of relaxation, but haven’t mastered the art of doing so. I’m from the land of 10,000 Lakes (and the Mall of America). When I’m not crafting ideas for clients, I’m hanging with my 4 boys, watching the Ravens, baking cookies or exploring rooftop bars. Am I open to recommendations? You betcha.

As a PSU alum, I am a natural when it comes to tailgating. Depending the day, you can find me playing in intramural leagues or doing anything that involves running. Running really fast is the best. When things don't go my way, I believe a good dirty martini is the best way to end a bad day.

I’m a coffee fanatic, always searching for a new café. To counteract my caffeinated state, I practice yoga and love the mindfulness and balance it has taught me. I carry those messages with me every day. I also enjoy hiking with my yellow lab, spending time with friends and family, and shopping.

Being part of the world's left-handed population, I've learned to problem-solve a little differently. From using can openers to playing instruments, I tap into creativity and persistence to get any job done. Like many southpaws, I’m also a lover of art and music; my weekends tend to fill up with concerts, museum visits or DIY projects.
