Chris has just joined Thrive Marketing as the Director of Business Development.  He will be in charge of several key aspects of growing Thrive’s business, primarily client lead generation campaigns, forging new strategic partnerships, and data acquisition.  Although you might not expect it at first meeting, Chris is an avid NASCAR enthusiast. He claims that it is his vast technical knowledge of the cars themselves and of the drivers’ abilities that piques his interest, but we know that, being an East Tennessee native, it’s simply in his blood.

Andrew is another recent addition, being added to the team shortly after Chris.  Andrew is Thrive’s Marketing Campaign Coordinator and Executive Assistant.  He is already providing some much needed relief for Evan and Rob by capably handling many of the technical details related to campaign set-up and maintenance, as well as invaluable administrative guidance.  Always goal-oriented, many might not know that Andrew’s personal goal for 2011 is to go skydiving!  That sounds like a good team building activity.  Perhaps a company outing can be arranged… Rob?

Brad, having just completed a three month internship with Thrive, has officially come on board full time as of Tuesday, April 5^th!  We are excited about the energy and enthusiasm he brings to his Search Engine Marketing Consultant role as he is doing an excellent job managing various social media, display, and PPC ad campaigns for Thrive clients.  He loves being outdoors and has a keen interest in cars. Most importantly though, Brad is a team player, always there when needed, and is ready to help take Thrive’s SEM advertising to the next level.

Also growing is our custom lead generation service.  As we continue to experience increased levels of success in generating leads specific to our clients’ product and service offerings, we will look to broaden the scope of industries for which we provide leads.  Our clients in the Telephony, Home Improvement, Financial and Business Networking industries have enjoyed a marked growth in revenue generated from our leads.  We are eager to further diversify our lead generation program in the coming months.

Another exciting development for our company is our move into a new office space in the Cool Springs area of Nashville, TN.  We are currently in a temporary space where we can watch our brand new office as it is constructed, right across the street.  The construction process will take about a year to complete, and we can’t wait to see the finished product!

We look ahead to Q2 with anticipation at how we can help to grow your business!
