The Loud Few | Interactive Marketing Agency | St. Louis, MO

Erin has been working in the interactive strategy space for the past 9 years, and after she reaches the 10 year mark, she claims that she will no longer continue to “date” herself by offering up that information.

Erin’s career in online marketing began at online automotive powerhouse Autotrader.com, and then progressed through leadership roles at E-commerce software provider MonsterCommerce, and web solutions provider NetworkSolutions. Though she’s quite the SEO geek at heart, Erin’s expertise lies in delivering ROI-focused campaigns that incorporate SEO, PPC, social media marketing and other innovative online marketing solutions. Erin’s client list is diverse, ranging from privately owned small businesses to large consumer product brands.

A Loud moment from Erin’s past:

“When I was about 8, I decided to test drive my new Huffy Sassy off a neighbor’s 6-foot-high retaining wall. The flight was amazing, but the landing was extremely loud.”

Robin has considered himself an interactive designer for nearly 10 years – however has worn many hats over that time period including project manager, creative director, and his personal favorite, large group babysitter.

Robin’s career in the interactive word began will a small project in high school that paid him a seemingly (at the time) king’s ransom. From there he never looked back, fine tuning his design skills through various stints with large and small web development agencies, and a few projects on his own that have yielded various successes. Robin’s experience has crossed many interactive boundaries, but he proudly claims user-experience design and interactive project management as his most notable skills.

A Loud moment from Robin’s past:

“An attempt to obtain thunder sticks from a hoarding St. Louis Cardinals fan resulted in being thrown to the ground by their 300 lbs. friend. I was only saved from a proper pounding by the crowd yelling ‘Get off him, he’s barely the size of your leg’.”

Brad is originally from Las Vegas, where he grew up and went to college (and probably the occasional casino too).  After 20+ years in the hot desert, he finally decided to hit the road and move to the beaches of San Diego, while his girlfriend headed out to the midwest for medical school.  Two years and many long distance phone calls later, he packed up the surf board and headed towards the gateway to the west, St Louis.

Brad is an entrepreneur at heart, which explains his next move in life.  He spent his first 6 months in St Louis developing his own web project, UrbHub.com.  The new venture was built from scratch, which was a great hands on experience.  The more involved the project became, the more Brad realized that he enjoyed web development.  One sunny afternoon, he just so happened to be walking by an office on Washington Ave. in downtown St Louis – and thought it would be a good idea to stop in and get some marketing and design advice.  Well, now he comes to that same office everyday and dishes out his own advice now and then.

A Loud moment from Brad’s past:

“It’s a sunny day in San Diego. I’m new to surfing, but for some reason I’m helping a friend learn. As the “instructor,” I give a few tips and leave with, “watch me.” I start paddling and get on the wave. At this point I think I’m pretty cool because I actually got up on the board, but not to fear, the joy didn’t last. All of a sudden I spot a younger kid in front of me about 20-30 feet away. Most surfers would be able to easily navigate around him, but what did I do? … Went straight for him, flew off my board, and my tailbone landed on top of his head. Lesson over.”

Aaron has spent the last five years shaping and polishing online marketing strategies for small to medium size businesses. He considers himself a “Jack of All Trades and Master of Some”. To that “Master of Some” list you can include in-house Master Brewer for The Loud Few, local darts legend, and the guy some folks in SEO circles refer to as “Neo.” Legend has it, if Aaron meditates on a keyword long enough, he can temporarily influence the search results.

Aaron’s career in internet marketing began at E-commerce software provider MonsterCommerce, and then web solutions provider Network Solutions. Aaron has always been focused on helping small to medium-sized businesses develop and optimize their online presence. He progressed his role as SEO Developer over to an Account Management role to gain expertise in paid search advertising strategies and to be able to deliver more comprehensive online marketing solutions to his clients in various industries. Aaron has an unquenchable thirst for better search engine optimization, more effective pay-per-click marketing, and site enhancements for higher conversion.

A Loud moment from Aaron’s past:

“In my younger days of SEO, I was discussing keyword strategy with an e-commerce client who sold hammocks and hammock supplies. Keyword research unveiled significant traffic for the phrase “banana hammocks”. Thinking this was a popular brand of hammocks, I asked the client if they carried banana hammocks? The innocent question led to silence on the other end of the phone and a deafening outburst in our office as my colleagues howled with laughter to the point at which some were rolling on the floor.”
