Who

Nick is TargetMarket’s founder and CEO. Raised in Tampa, FL, Nick graduated from the University of Florida and afterwards moved west to work in marketing for Fox in Los Angeles (Fun Fact: Nagatomi Plaza from Die Hard).

In 2007, longing to return to the East Coast, Nick relocated to Charleston to run a print and trade show marketing company. The economic turmoil of 2008-2009 forced a shift in marketing spending to digital, and in 2010 TargetMarket was born.

Over the past 10 years, Nick has worked to grow TargetMarket to be a premier digital marketing agency in the Southeast. He enjoys running the agency, but equally enjoys community involvement, serving on Rotary International and as Board Chairman for the Summerville Family YMCA.

When not on the clock, Nick enjoys spending time on the golf course, listening to live music, or at home with his wife and two children.

App You Can’t Live Without: LivePhish. It’s the closest I can get to live music during a pandemic.

Favorite Binge Watch: With two young children and a business, binge watching is whatever the kids agree on. These days it’s The Greatest Showman on repeat.

Favorite Sports Team: Tampa Bay Rays! Nothing like a small market, no budget team sticking it to the Yankees year after year.

Jenn has spent 10 years in the digital marketing space, with a background in affiliate marketing, online merchandising, email marketing, content development, management, and operations.

Random Fact about Yourself: I was raised listening to ghost stories from my Grandparents. They would tell me about ghosts they had seen in and around their home.

In 2017, Jenny joined the TargetMarket team and is our Director of Client Success. She thrives on building client relationships and supporting the account team. Learning about a client’s goals and then finding the best combination of services to help them grow their business and brand is one her favorite parts of what she does.
