Leadership Team
We’re not your average marketing agency. Instead of departments, we have wholly contained teams. Instead of fixed budgets, we use monthly operating ratios. The goal is to speed service and achieve results for our clients. Our executives aren’t just marketing experts—they’re well-trained in goal setting, system dynamics, throughput accounting, public speaking, talent coaching and development.

Founder and CEO

When Ken left Georgia Tech and started to work in real estate, he knocked on hundreds of doors every week and quickly became the youngest board-certified, multi-million-dollar producer at age 24. More importantly, behind one of those doors was an ad agency owner who recruited Ken into advertising and eventually provided backing when he founded Response Mine Interactive in 2001.
