Jennifer Bagley

Kevin & Linda Bagley

Co-Founders

Kevin and Linda ultimately are the roots of our company. Kevin, Jennifer’s father, has been a technology maverick since Jennifer can remember. Many years of sitting on her fathers lap as he starred at the magical code, was enamoured at the latest and greatest technology advancements. We followed the birth of the internet, piece by piece and stayed glued to the evolution. This led Jennifer to the “dark” world of the internet, open-source and technology.

Now, with that being said, Linda, Jennifer’s mother is the worlds best sales person. She could sell Ice to Eskimo’s! Known as the queen of lake front properties in Seattle, WA. her grace and style, contagious spirit and swagger proved to be the end all be all to sales and marketing. She believed and preached, “there is no such think as advertising, you simply have to convert your clients to your sales team. Just love and hug your customers and always be better than the rest.” Thankfully this great woman rubbed off on Jennifer.

The two of them created this slightly discombobulated individual. One who didn’t agree entirely with the “byte heads” and didn’t agree entirely with the “salesmen”. Jennifer said “There has to be a better way… and that is what we will build and deliver to our clients.”

A diverse and objective way to attack business growth utilizing the most powerful and NEW technologies available at all times, weaving in personality, style and swagger. A relationship built marketing strategy executed through the fasted communication methods in the world.

“We will utilize technology to Complimentwhat we know works, referrals and word of mouth marketing… only we will create these networks at the speed of light!”
