Meet Ryan, Amanda and miss Brooklynn
Meet our mascot Tank
Intro from Ryan Berg:
I like to call myself "the Jack of all trades" when it comes to anything computer or camera related due to the fact I've had to adapt and overcome in a lot of jobs. I grew up in the suburban oasis that is called Lacey. I graduated from North Thurston High School and attended Centralia Community College. There I received my Associate of Arts degree with a focus in graphic design. I transferred to The Evergreen State College where I received my Bachelor's degree in communications with a focus in Film and Video production.
After College I was without a job and picked up an internship at Television Washington (TVW). I quickly found out that the pace of putting a project together for class was completely different than live TV or taped events. I learned a great deal in terms of teamwork, accountability and work ethic in those three short months. After the internship ended I was jobless again and somehow landed another internship, this time with the Washington State House of Representative Video Department. The best lesson I learned from that internship was that for a department to excel, or business for that matter, you must have strong leadership. At the end of that Legislative Session the gentleman who was the full-time videographer/editor left for a new job and with the Session going into a Special Session I was hired three days after my internship was up. Talk about getting thrown into the fire. I had the pleasure of working for the state for 13 years. After the many years with the State I was hired for a one year contract job at KBTC (Tacoma PBS affiliate) as their promo editor. The job was much more than that. It also entailed doing camera work, studio work, audio work...remember that line about Jack of all trades? Well, I totally embodied that saying there.
After my contract was up Amanda asked what I wanted to do next and I said, "I want to combine forces with you and grow your/ our marketing business. We complement each other's skills so well that we'd do great." She still made me go through a job interview before she said yes.
I think we live in a great community and that having the opportunity to showcase the place we call "home" is a great responsibility and a wonderful honor to have.

Intro from Amanda Berg:
I graduated from WF West high school in Chehalis and studied at Centralia College. I have been in marketing for over 10 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. I was a Marketing Consultant for Dex Media for seven years where I gained experience and knowledge in print advertising, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, social media, website development and sales. I continued my growth in the marketing world and joined The Olympian. Where I continued on going training and built up my "bag of tricks". I have had the pleasure to build customized marketing programs for many businesses and events around the area. It is such a rewarding feeling to watch businesses that you have helped meet and exceed their business goals.
Giving back to the community is a priority in life. I have been very fortunate in my life in everything I have accomplished and I truly believe that it is my duty to give back. I have worked with the following organizations; Miss Lewis County Scholarship Program, United Way of Lewis County, Doris's Divas (a division of United Way), Chamber Ambassador, Relay for Life of Lewis County, and have coached fast pitch softball.
A passion of mine is event planning. My mother and I also run Meranda Events. Where we specialize in fundraising events, conventions, corporate events and conferences. This experience has really broadened my resume and has given me invaluable knowledge of the event world.
When I am not on the clock I enjoy family time. A new mom of a beautiful daughter has kept me plenty busy. "Have baby will travel" is my motto! Traveling has been something I have really enjoyed and will continue to enjoy throughout this journey we call life. I have been to Mexico, British Columbia Canada, Alberta Canada and all over the United States! I enjoy a good book, binge watching Netflix, walking the dog, yoga, good food (love to travel with my stomach) and of course I will go back to family time. I love our family game nights and our family dinners!
Family time!
Adventurists at heart!
