Hello! I’m a firm believer that each person’s social media journey is unique to them. Mine is no different. Within my 13+ years of experience, I’ve seen a lot of things!

Andy was a wonderful addition to our digital marketing team at BarkleyREI. Despite starting his new position during the COVID pandemic, he worked hard to learn about our clients and work. He provided insightful recommendations and brought a new perspective to our social media campaigns and strategy. Additionally, Andy faced our challenges head-on and sought opportunities to make our efforts more efficient and valuable. He is professional and tactful, and always has a positive and friendly presence.
I’m thrilled to have learned from Andy during his time at BarkleyREI. Andy is a skilled media professional who can push your marketing strategy to the next level.

Who do you get when you mix a love for
Radio, EDM and a love for social media marketing? Andy, of course! Andy was my Social media director for about a year and what I learned from him has always stuck with me. He taught me patience and taught me how to really tell a story. He’s a perfectionist to an extent and really really loves his work. He’s the right mix of ensuring everything is perfect and still finds room to add a little spunk. He’s always open to new ideas and always embracing the always fast paced Sofia media world. Trends, strategies and content obsessed are a few things that come to mind when thinking or Andy. Not to mention, his insane lunch routine 😂 I enjoyed conversing with her on a personal and professional level. He always strives to be different and go the other direction which is how he’s received so much success in his field. Highly recommended, Andy never disappoints.
