I'm the head of sales and outreach, and as my wife, Tani, likes to say, "the idea guy." I've been watching and supporting Tani in growing her businesses for years, and when I realized how much she had grown her tech skills and understanding of marketing strategies I realized we needed to share this information with the world.
Too many small business owners are struggling just to get seen in their local neighborhoods, or finding the time to connect with or follow up with potential clients. As I say, "A plumber is usually a really great plumber, but that means' (s)he is too busy to be a really great marketer."
No one opens their business because they LOVE posting on social media or creating content daily, or building funnels and appointment reminders (except maybe Tani). So I knew we were on to something special.
When I launched my first business I was clueless about digital marketing, brand awareness, social media strategy, and all the small pieces that line up to make a visible and successful business. I just really loved what I did and I wanted to share that passion with the world.
I invested in a business coach and threw myself into learning everything I could about marketing and sales. Eventually my coach hired me, recognizing my knack for small business and marketing.
I now own my own brick-and-mortar studio, I continue to offer virtual wellness services, and I still love supporting other small business owners in making their marketing more effective and time efficient.
I'm the tech guy, usually behind the scenes. I'm content to stay out of the lime light. As Tani tells me, my gift is "speaking computer". I make all the pieces fit together, and am usually in charge of deciphering what's going on when things don't line up precisely.
You won't see me often, but you'll be REALLY glad when I'm around because it means your headaches are about to go away.
When Tani and Mark brought the idea for Rising Tide to me, I got pretty excited. It seemed like a great idea that would fill a pretty big need for small businesses. I've spent time creating websites for local businesses and essentially helping "non-techies" by doing the heavy lifting of things that don't make sense to a lot of people.
"The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts"
Rising Tide Agency is the epitome of a small-family owned business - each of us playing our part seamlessly to make a greater whole.
Mark is our mastermind, visionary and the head of our sales and outreach. As a natural born connector he helps us to connect with small business owners who need our skills and services.
Tani is our strategist, putting the pieces together to put smart and effective social media strategies in place for business owners who don't know what they don't know. She will work with you to decide which funnels and systems are best for your business and help you to clarify your brand message.
Scott is our tech support and the one who makes everything flow. He's the quiet one on the team, content to work in the background on projects. He's the tech support you always wished you had but maybe couldn't afford in the past.
All together we make up Rising Tide Agency, because a "Rising Tide Lifts All Ships".
We are obsessed with helping small, local businesses improve their visibility, so you never have to hear, "I never knew you were here!" again.
