Hi.

I'm Trent.

I really hate talking about myself, but I guess that's why you're here. Here's my obligatory intro:

I’m hyper-focused on developing and implementing results-driven, content-focused marketing plans that grow businesses and deliver leads and growth as efficiently as possible.

I’ve spent the last 15+ years invested in multi-channel marketing tactics and design, gaining relevant certifications and managing a diverse range of local and national brands. From award-winning creative and design work, to lead-generating strategy and data analysis of performance, my full scope of services brings added value to teams, clients, startups and businesses of any size.

 

What I do

Curiosity is a wonderful gift when it’s fed properly. Over the years, I’ve directed and collaborated with teams that tackle design and marketing problems of every size. Along the way, to meet the unique challenges and goals of my clients, I’ve picked up an arsenal of know-how.

Thinking I’m overqualified? Maybe I am. Or maybe I am an asset that can pivot according to what’s best for your business, no matter the stage you’re in.

Content Strategy

From researching what topics your potential clients are looking for online, to recommending how we connect your brand to pop culture, I help my clients be relevant, timely and interesting. The more content you have, the more 'hooks you have in the water' to catch leads.

Content Distribution

I work with my clients to maximize the mileage of content production, making sure that valuable content is syndicated, shared, and put in as front of as many of the right eyes as possible. This not only helps with lead generation, but also your business's online authority.

Web Design

True website design goes far beyond just making it look pretty. Down to the details of fonts and colors, your site should influence visitors into accomplishing your goal. I've received multiple awards on my web designs as recent as 2020 and 2019.

PPC / Ad Management

I have personally managed millions of dollars of ad spend, and treat your investments as if they are my own. I'll make sure that every dollar spent on advertising is stretched to the efficiency maximum and that our campaigns are reaching the perfect customer.

SEO

I make sure that my client's content and websites put their best foot forward for search engines, keeping them competitive for valuable keyword rankings.

Project Management

Having managed teams of various sizes, I carry projects and people through from concept to planning to completion to promotion.

Brands I've Worked WITH

WEB DESIGN + EDITING
Just like a garden, websites have to be constantly tended to if you want them to grow.

From building websites to managing an aggressive content and growth strategy, I thrive on being as involved in the behind the scenes operation as I do helping ideate and troubleshoot big tech problems.
MARKETING + SEO
Competition for Google rankings is fierce and getting more difficult by the day. I compete locally and nationally on a regular basis for in-demand keywords for my clients. With the top position getting close to 30% of the clicks, it’s no wonder why everyone wants to be there.

Ranking isn’t everything, though. It’s important to remember that being “number one” doesn’t mean anything if you’re top rank for a term nobody is actually looking for. That’s where keyword research comes in – of which I perform regularly and extensively for my clients. I find the most popular words my client’s customers are typing into their search engines, and give the right signals to Google to make the ranking magic happen.
ADVERTISING
Digital Advertising, on platforms such as Google Ads and Facebook Ads, can be a fantastic way to get leads ASAP. It works for a brand new company that is just getting started and is looking for customers, just as well as it works for an established company that is looking to keep growing.

Digital Advertising can be very costly and show little to no return if campaigns aren’t professionally created and closely managed. I specialize in creating these campaigns and helping my clients get the most out of every dollar that goes toward these platforms.

I have personally managed millions of dollars of ad spend over the years, and maintain my Google Ads Certification so my clients can be sure that they’re working with someone that meets Google’s high standards of partnership.

Now that the formalities are out of the way.

How about some fun stuff? Micro stories. My favorite places. Things I love. Ya know, the spice of life stuff.

 

I live nestled in the hills of Hedgesville, WV – just 1.5 hours outside of the DC Metro area. After having traveled a large portion of the country, I truly believe that I live in one of the most serene and peaceful places one can settle down in.

While I’ve held a number of positions working with a variety of clients and in different industries, I currently serve as a Senior Digital Marketing Specialist for a handful of national and international attorneys. 

But juggling private companies, corporations, attorneys, and big business gets old. In 2008 I co-founded LovelyPixels, a creative studio my wife Jessi and our team runs full-time. LovelyPixels focuses on helping startups and small businesses throughout West Virginia and Maryland make a big ruckus, which is a great offset to my current work.

When not tied to a computer, I am often found somewhere in the woods being a big kid. Kayaking. Hiking. Hunting. Shooting. Climbing. Swimming. Airsoft. Foraging. And most importantly, transforming the forest around my house into a magical playground for my kids.

 

Hitched in 2014

Catch Me Outside

I don't get much happier than when I am in the wilderness, either alone or with good friends and family.

We Had a Pandemic Baby

And it was perfect because we got to be reclusive and just enjoy a life focused around him as the world slowed down.

Straight Cheezin'

Awards aside - I am most proud of how the work I do positively impacts my clients, my teams and my businesses.

Wild Orchids

As nature lovers, we were surprised when our homestead turned out to have a very large patch of America's more uncommon flowers, known as Pink Lady Slippers. Each year, we anxiously await them as they pop thru the ground in our wooded ridge.

Virgin Narrows

I enjoy traveling to places that make me feel small. Except for cities!

Our Girl, Pixel.

This runt doesn't understand personal space and is often found sharing a desk chair with one of her humans.

Wild and Wonderful

West Virginia is home.

I Swim in February

It doesn't matter what time of year it is, if the sun is out, you can find me in a nearby creek or swimming hole.

I LIKE TO ANIMATE, TOO!

I originally made these killer whales for an exhibit at the Smithsonian.

WANT MORE?

I’m happy to provide more examples of marketing projects, SEO wins, and designs that I can’t showcase on this site, whether for technical or legal purposes. I even designed a PC game once, complete with artificial intelligence. Want to see any or all of it? Just ask!

 

I can also provide both employer and client references, from CEOs to marketing managers. And if you’re interested I’ll even share reports, case studies, and anything else that may set your mind at ease.

 

And if you’d like to meet in person or over a Zoom to chat, I’m game.

JUST KIDDING

I don't Have a Twitter. Nor will I ever.
