Jessica Shepard
Content Brand Specialist & Chief Copywriter
Jessica is our Content Brand Specialist and Chief Copywriter, which means when we need something written ASAP, she’s the one we hit up. When she’s not working, she can be found obsessively taking pictures of her dogs, adding even more books to her ‘currently reading’ list on Goodreads, studying French, laying down vox in the studio, or watching the TV shows your grandmother watches.
Chris Pitts
Cori Nicholson
Briana Vachal
Organic Facebook Social Media Strategist
Briana is our Organic Facebook Social Media Strategist, and she spends her days working on organic social calendars and fun stuff like that. She’s Canadian, which means she’s super nice and loves hockey (Go, Leafs, Go!). She even played pro hockey in Gothenburg, Sweden – which is pretty cool, if you ask us. Briana has four dogs and a cat, she loves digital art, photography, making videos, acting, and consuming everything she can related to history, politics, economics, and biological sciences.
Jonathan Sanders
Video Production Specialist & Special Project Social Media Manager
Jonathan has been with us from the start and knows a little bit about every aspect of the business. He spends the majority of his days working on video, managing Spark Marketer’s social media accounts, fixing problems, making “dad jokes,” and being the world’s nerdiest hipster. He’s also largely responsible for ensuring we all have enough coffee and cat/dog videos to get through the day, so naturally, we love him. Learn more about Jonathan in this quick intro video.
Caroline Shepard
Aaron Blaise
Aaron is our Google My Business Specialist, which means if you have a GMB question, he’s the guy to talk to. He’s a proud East Nashvillian, a Boston Red Sox and New England Patriot’s fan, a father of three, and a music and audio aficionado. He currently stands as our 3rd tallest employee. Learn more about Aaron in this quick intro video.
Justin Gibson
Justin is our SEO Optimization Specialist and has overshadowed Chris as Spark Marketer’s tallest employee. Fun fact: Justin has NEVER been full in his life, and his typical Taco Bell order includes: 4 Crunchy Tacos, 4 Soft Tacos, 1 Quesarito, 1 Grilled Stuffed Burrito, and Nachos Bellgrande. Although he’s never officially entered an eating contest, we’re sure he would win.
Check out Justin’s intro video.
Shane Levan
As the Assistant Content Manager, Shane’s responsible for managing our blog writers, proofreading, and assisting with a variety of content related tasks. He’s a graduate of Vanderbilt and a big fan of Vanderbilt athletics. His hobbies include writing poetry, trivia, going to the movies, and listening to his vinyl collection (which he thinks is better than yours). He’s also pretty proud of the fact that he shares a birthday with two of television’s greatest shows: The Twilight Zone and Scrubs.
Mike Brockenshire
Social Media Ads Strategist
Mike is our Social Media Ads Strategist and our second tallest employee. He spends all of his time optimizing ads and researching the latest Facebook news. When not working on ads, Mike loves to hike, kayak, and spend time with his pup. He’s a die hard Buffalo Bills fan, but somehow got hired anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mitchel Howell
Social Media Strategist
Mitchel is our Social Media Strategist, which means he spends much of his day keeping files organized, helping with creative ideas for posts, and making the lives of Jonathan and the Facebook team easier. He’s a Navy vet who loves to travel, and he’s been to 46 states and six of the seven continents. In his free time, Mitchel can be found exploring the great outdoors and teaching his son how to fish, hunt, and camp. When Armageddon inevitably arrives, most of us will be dead, but Mitchel and his son will be just fine.
Fred Brewer
Fred is Spark Marketer’s resident Indiana Jones. When he’s not traveling the world or out in the wilderness helping keep Boy Scouts alive, Fred’s keeping a close eye on our clients’ websites and Spark Marketer’s servers. He also helps our customers track down lost website domain registrations and website hosting accounts, plans site migrations, and sets up new email services. Learn more about Fred (trust us, you want to) right here in this quick intro video.
Jonny Lim
Courtney Powell
Courtney is our Creative Content Assistant, which means she spends her days, well, creating content. She also has a darling baby girl at home, who may or may not be the cutest thing we’ve ever seen. When not working, Courtney loves spending time outdoors, indulging in two of the world’s greatest gifts: pizza and tacos, and watching The Office.
Girish Dadlani
Girish is our Web Designer, aka the guy who makes everything look good. He has a background in web/software development and a Masters in Computer Science from Pace University in NY. When he’s not working crazy hours, Girish can be found practicing fingerstyle guitar, cooking, hunting for new recipes on YouTube, or making beautiful electric lamps out of recycled glass bottles. Is there anything he can’t do?
Emily Romero
Tina Rucker
Tina is in and out of the office, but we’re always especially glad to see her around payday. Although she has enough headaches of her own, she selflessly deals with the majority of our accounting and paperwork, all while having a great sense of humor. Learn more about Tina in this quick intro video.
Julian Carapellotti
Assistant Social Media Strategist
Julian, once an Intern here at Spark, is now our full time Assistant Social Media Strategist. When he’s not helping Megan and Tiffany with social, he can be found reading, writing, playing guitar, and listening to music of all genres. He’s also a Pittsburgh native and sports fan, so yinz better not talk trash about the Steelers in his presence.
