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.

She has worked with various brands and companies, ranging from smartphones to outdoor patio furniture.

She also enjoys client onboarding and helping to give clients an idea of what they can expect while working with the TargetMarket team.

She is a Marketing Communications graduate of Mary Baldwin University (go fighting squirrels!) in Staunton, Virginia. After an 8 year stint of dealing with DC traffic, she happily moved to Charleston when her husband took a promotion in the Holy City.

She loves the beach and has been told on several occasions that she has saltwater running through her veins. She is also a little obsessed with animals; puppies and kittens will stop her dead in her tracks, and she is in love with her adorably vocal tuxedo cat, Chloe, and her Boston terrier puppy, Ellie.

Favorite App: Chick-fil-A – because who doesn’t love getting points for free food!

Favorite Binge Watch: Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica…The Office! And you can bet I signed the petition to keep this on Netflix. 😉

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. It was terrifying and exciting, all the same. As a result, I love a good ghost story and love to check out local haunts and ghost tours around Charleston.

Jenny started her career as a Media Planner and Buyer at Fahlgren (now Fahlgren Mortine) in Atlanta working on local market McDonald’s co-ops and Kroger Grocery Stores. She quickly learned she enjoyed partnering with clients on their strategy and planning more than the buying aspect of the work.

Jenny spent 3 years in Dallas working at Carat USA as an Account Supervisor on RadioShack. Primarily responsible for planning the RadioShack National Television Budget. She then returned to Atlanta to work at MindShare USA on Orkin Pest Control.

After having her first daughter, Jenny and her husband, Justin, relocated to Charleston where she formed a partnership with two friends also in marketing to offer website development, blogging, and social media management to small businesses. It was a great way to stay in advertising and marketing and be able to spend more time with her young daughters.

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.

Last Book You Read: Rage by Bob Woodward. In the same way people have favorite celebrities, I have favorite journalists and Bob Woodward tops the list.

Having always had an interest in computers, Cory graduated from the College of Charleston with a bachelor’s degree in computer science. However, soon after finishing his degree, he realized he wouldn’t be satisfied with simply being the programmer behind the scenes of any given project. He began teaching himself the basics of front-end web development to learn all the tools that were skipped over in school. He greatly enjoys constructing clean, user-friendly websites that not only function well but also look fantastic. He values attention to detail, and lives by the notion of quality over quantity.

During college, he got the chance to study abroad in Hirakata, Japan which was conveniently located between Kyoto and Osaka, two of the most popular tourist destinations. While not fluent in Japanese, he loves brushing up on his language skills when there is an opportunity to.

Cory has a love for helping others and strives to deliver truly satisfying experiences for clients.

I enjoy his unique voice and style which embody a combination of pop and rap that sounds different from their American equivalents.

Favorite podcast: If I’m in the mood for a podcast, I like listening to Technical Alpha. The gaming and hot topics they discuss always intrigue me with their sense of humor.

Random fact about myself: Growing up, my dad was really into building computers and programming. I loved watching him tinker with the hardware and seeing what sorts of silly software he would come up with. However, my guilty pleasure was always taking the old computer parts out back with friends and smashing them with hammers. I swear that comes off more violent than it really was!

While I don’t clean their homes, I do help them redesign their space. There’s nothing better than a good before and after!

After completing an internship in Content Marketing and Web Design, Abbay knew that Digital Marketing was the career path for her. She graduated from the College of Charleston with a degree in English in 2016 and was eager to find a career where she could put her writing and creativity to the test. She loves the dynamic nature of the digital world, and the relationships she develops with her clients.

Considering the culinary town that Charleston is, and the fact that Abbay lives with her chef boyfriend, it’s not surprising that a significant amount of her free time is spent eating and trying new restaurants. To balance out the eating, you can also find her on the move with her two rescue dogs, Kirby and Pearl.

Random Fact About Yourself: No one is 100% sure of what my hometown is. I lived my first fifteen years in a small town outside of Boston, and finished high school in Fort Wayne, Indiana before moving to Charleston. However, my father still lives in Massachusetts, my mom and step-dad live in Big Sky, Montana, my siblings still live in Indiana, and my family collectively spends summers in northern Michigan.

Lauren studied Film & Media at the University of South Carolina. After a brief stint working as a “child wrangler” for a TV series filmed in Charleston, she decided her destiny lay elsewhere. She’d always had aspirations of writing for a living, so she transitioned to content marketing at the suggestion of a friend and has been click-clacking the Macbook keys for clients ever since. She loves creating engaging and informative content and watching all those little Yoast symbols turn green.

When she’s not working, she may still be at her laptop watching British comedy panel shows while perusing dog Instagram accounts on her phone. If she must be screen-free she’s probably trying to wrangle her two non-Instagrammable dogs Benny and Lucy. She can also be found trying to pull off the “cool aunt” routine with her niece and nephew (the secret is Pop-Tarts & Nintendo).

Enneagram Type: 4w5: Dramatic, self-absorbed, and temperamental…OR expressive, creative, and perceptive. It depends on who you ask. I prefer the latter.

Favorite Podcast: How Did This Get Made? with comedians/actors Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas. There are a million bad movie podcasts, but HDTGM transcends the genre. This pod makes me laugh in that hysterical way where I actually stop making a sound. But they also have in-depth conversations that might be at home in a film theory class. All while discussing gems like Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Last Book You Read: I’m scratching my Southern Gothic itch and working my way through reading (re-reading in some cases) Flannery O’Connor’s The Complete Stories.

Favorite Binge Watch: I’ve decided to dedicate my valuable binge time to watching all 11 seasons and 275 episodes of Cheers
