Get to know our talented team of creative and digital superheroes.
Tony Bartolotti
Founder
With an eye for detail and a creative insight, Tony’s marketing history spans over 27 years working with a wide range of businesses creating and implementing successful “branded” ad campaigns. Tony loves his work (in fact we can’t get him to go home) but when he’s not working he’s spending time with his wife and two sons. He’s an avid collector who you’ll find surfing eBay adding to his classic Star Trek and vintage Comic collections. In his early years he spent his time as an artist creating portraits and illustrations as well as a professional musician touring, recording and “knocking elbows” with some of rock and roll’s greatest. Tony lives his life with his philosophy of “Life = Perception”…everything in life depends on how you look at it.

She earned her B.A. in Business and Entrepreneurship at Wells College, a close-knit liberal arts college in the Finger Lakes.

Natasha works closely with clients to showcase the story of their brand on each digital platform while crafting the bridge between the client and the consumer. Driven by blasting Taylor Swift in her office on the daily, Natasha works tirelessly to find new, creative methods to helping our client’s brand stand out above the rest. Outside of work, Natasha enjoys creating trendy outfits for her blog, watching a good true crime documentary, and is constantly searching for the perfect Instagram photo.
