A tall, cool glass of: Intellitonic

So…What’s Up With The Name?

Our leaders knew they loved the word intel. One late night while brainstorming names over cocktails they put two and two together. Groundbreaking…we know.

Our History

Intellitonic was founded in 2016 when a software engineer, a marketing project manager, and an SEO expert from a national newspaper all found themselves at jumping-off points in their careers. With their combined experience, the three banded together to create an agile and adept marketing team that delivers high-quality service to clients all over the continent. Currently, Intellitonic operates as a team of eight and continues to grow.

Our Mission

Intellitonic is an elite group of digital marketers that are locally focused, operating nationally. They provide and implement successful marketing strategy across the web, online ads, and social media. Intellitonic empowers clients to use digital marketing strategies correctly and successfully, and to tell their story clearly and succinctly. They are thought leaders in the digital space and provide visible, tangible education and work.

We constantly work to improve our craft and hope to help you improve yours, too.

Why you should work with us

Not all agencies are built alike.
What makes Intellitonic stand out from the crowd?

We practice what we preach.

We believe in our process so much that we rely on it, too. We utilize all the services we offer to not only better understand the process, but to make sure it’s tried-and-true. Helping you helps us to help you better (meta… data).

We are malleable.

We live in a world where Google is constantly updating their secret sauce of an algorithm. We’re always looking for the latest and greatest ways to do things. And we’re open to working with new businesses and industries – it really keeps things interesting.

We believe in fun!

Work is work, but work can also be fun. We value a sense of humor. We hang out together. The consensus is to support our community and take care of our employees.

We love non-profits.

You’re not in it for the fame. You have a mission and we respect that. Although we are a small for-profit marketing agency, we share similar values (like working towards our B-Corp certification!). We love supporting those who do good work and help make our communities stronger, safer, and more equal.

The crew.

Good to the core, but also a little bad to the bone.

Jared Keller, Principal

Jared came to us with over 10 years experience in business management, software engineering, and product development. He is a founding member and previous VP of Engineering for Conversica, an organization focused on sales automation software powered by machine learning. He’s a stand up guy, loves to talk shop over beers, and in general, is a huge nerd.

Courtney Rambo, Director of Operations

Court is a recent MBA graduate, and former Marketing Project Manager and Google Ads specialist for SPIE, a nonprofit society for engineers in optics and photonics. She has lots of international experience including leading the marketing efforts for “The International Year of Light” under the leadership of The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and organizing sales and marketing efforts for 20 different international agencies simultaneously. She does not stop until the job is done, and has been done well. Best of all, she is pure of heart – when the clerk at the grocery store forgot to ring her up for her favorite bottle of gin, she made sure to correct him.

Alexander Bruner, Founder

Alex managed SEO, PPC, and Social Media for the Tribune Company’s digital marketing agency, overseeing the web efforts of thousands of clients. While servicing clients of the LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Sun Sentinel, and other Tribune properties, Alex was exposed to tactics and strategies for both small businesses and Fortune 500’s. Alex’s long-term dream has been to turn his digital marketing skills towards making the world a better place, and Intellitonic’s focus on helping nonprofits provides that opportunity.

Clint Keller, Biz Dev

Clint sold artificial intelligence sales software to the automotive industry for years. He does a stellar job crafting new and refreshing ways to target different markets with personalized messages. He knows his way around a camera (thanks for all of the great snaps!) and Adobe Photoshop. Clint is known to carry peanuts in his brief case for squirrels and birds alike (no joke). He enjoys a good game of golf and tinkering around in the garden.

Blake Lester, Biz Dev

Blake joined Intellitonic after spending a year with his wife traveling in their Volkswagon van. Prior to that he worked for The Zillow Group, managing advertising and coaching top producing real estate agents all over the country. His experience spans small agent teams with modest budgets, to multi-office brokerages looking to expand to new markets. He cares about his clients and manages their budgets as if they were his own. Blake brings his four-legged friend Walter in almost daily and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Frank Marcinkowski, Software Development Engineer

With a cybersecurity background and prior public servant, Frank knows the importance of teamwork as well as creating and implementing secure infrastructure. He moved to the Pacific Northwest a long time ago from a galaxy far, far away to bike in the clouds and work on the virtual ones, and is regularly dressed as though a hike could break out at any moment. He’s a great listener, problem-solver, and has been known to rock a mean Halloween costume.

Marin Johnson, Content Strategist

Marin was welcomed to Intellitonic after an almost startling history of hitting the first page of Google. She learned the tricks of the trade at the Chicago Tribune, Demand Media, and the Sun Sentinel before finding her niche in user outreach. Her work can be found everywhere from travel blogs to trivia quizzes, but her greatest success of all is getting a job with an English degree. Marin enjoys bringing sweets into the office, and will even share if we ask very nicely.

Lauren Howland, Account Manager

Lauren comes to Intellitonic after 5 years of managing digital marketing and creative for a customized wellness subscription service. Prior to that role, she worked for various companies maintaining their marketing and communication strategies. She is dedicated, organized and most importantly, passionate about her job and the field at large. Originally from the East Coast, the PNW caught her attention six years ago, and she hasn’t left. Lauren loves mountain biking, skiing, yoga-ing and finding the best pizza in any town. She is also a freelance photographer (go ahead, you can google her).
