Online marketing isn’t a series of campaigns.
With B Squared Media it’s a conversation.
We Feel: There is no beginning and end with an online marketing strategy; it’s an ongoing attitude of integrating each marketing effort.
At B Squared Media, we’re not only going to build you a campaign, we’re going to start a conversation with your customers. Why? Because a campaign is a one-time transaction. A conversation is a catalyst for a relationship, and a relationship indicates trust, respect, loyalty…which are, uh,…beliefs, opinions, feelings (psychographics). See how that works? Neat party trick, huh?
Our Philosophy: Establish trust and build relationships online through social media and digital marketing.
Seriously, online marketing and social media today are about connecting with people emotionally because people make business decisions based on who they are, and who they think YOU are. And we’re here to help you communicate that to them through a series of conversations. Whether that means revisiting your current strategy or establishing your presence, we can change the way you interact with your current and prospective clients.
Our Mantra: Think Conversation, Not Campaign.™
Meet Brooke B. Sellas
I’m not just the entrepreneur.
I’m a song maker-upper; a person who breaks out dancing anytime music comes on. A foodie. A social media marketer, a wife, an older sister of two absolutely amazing women, and an advocate for curing cystic fibrosis. I’m a Texas transplant who moved 1600 miles away from home and ended up meeting my husband and starting my business in NYC! Some of my proudest accolades are: being named one of 70 rising social media stars by Mark Schaefer of {grow} and getting pegged as one of 125 Best People to Follow on Twitter for Social Media Geeks. I taught as an adjunct for consumer behavior at CUNY Baruch in New York City for two years (and loved every minute). Currently, my IRL (in real life) adventures have me living on a six-acre farm in NJ and spending my summers in Boothbay Harbor, ME. Wanna peek into my crazy world? Let’s connect on Instagram. I’m also a speaker, so book me to speak at your next conference!

Meet Lindsey Zaleski
I’m not just the ops lady.
I’m a real organization queen and MacGyver to problem-solving – awkward moments define my life. I’m a true animal lover (to Boomer, Gizmo, Sadie, and Darby) and former pet-foster home. I enjoy spending time with family & friends, going to the beach, and trying out new restaurants. I have recently moved to Philadelphia, but will always be a Texan – so I can make a meal out of margaritas and guacamole.
I spend my free time traveling to Boston to see my mom, working out, enjoying outdoor adventures, perfecting my photography, dreaming of my next road trip or excursion, and exploring my new love for books (I never liked reading as a kid).

Meet Carrie Keenan
I’m not just the Account Manager for our enterprise clients.
I was a ‘cool’ geek before being a geek was cool. I’m obsessed with travel, podcasts and pop culture and a known abuser of puns, hashtags & emoji. You will likely see me with a cup of coffee in hand (a venti half-caf white chocolate mocha, to be precise) and will always be playing with any dog within reach. I occasionally blog and can always be found ‘on the ‘Gram’.
As a notorious klutz with a penchant for accidental misadventure, I’ve formed the mindset of “As long as it makes a good story, in the end, it’s all going to be ok.”

Meet Leah K. Williams
I’m not just a social conversationalist.
I’m a Mainer born and raised, I never stray too far from the sea and am happiest outside in the crisp fall weather or snuggled up with a book watching the snowfall. I’m a reader, writer, weightlifter, beauty product junkie, podcast addict, Disney enthusiast, Tom Brady supporter, aspiring yogi, and animal sympathizer. I’m constantly scanning Twitter for dog videos, and am obsessed with my rescue pup, Han Solo, who hails from Tennessee but loves the snow just like his fam. My favorite places in the world are the Cliffs of Moher and L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele (aka the Naples pizzeria featured in Eat Pray Love).

Hey, guys! Welcome to my little piece of the page! I’m an animal loving, reality-show watching (think Big Brother and Teen Mom) gardener with a black thumb.

Meet Karlyn Williams
I’m not just snappy on social.
Ever since Web 2.0 was a thing, I have been in the trenches developing strategies and systems for clients to keep them at their ideal customers’ top of mind. I’ve seen platforms come and go — and grow! With an entrepreneurial spirit, I love a challenge and learning about new technology and systems that make the lives and businesses of others easier.
When I’m not nerding out over social media and my task-oriented Trello boards, I love to teach tap, jazz, and hip hop at the dance studio where I grew up. On weekends, you can find me cheering on the James Madison University Dukes or relaxing with friends and family at a rooftop patio, because wine. Cheers!

Meet Savannah Ivanitski
I’m not just an ads analyst.
I’m an adrenaline junkie and adventure seeker. I found my passion for marketing, advertising and writing through my experience in motorsports. I was born in Colorado and ended up in Arizona, but the desert suits me well because you don’t have to shovel sunshine.
My weekends are either filled with adventures of dirt biking and finding new camping spots or they are filled with lots of children’s birthday parties and non-stop soccer practices. I’m a wanna-be sommelier and my days don’t start until I have had a good workout and at least three cups of coffee.

Meet 'Candi`` Anklin
I’m not just an ads guru.
I’m a pizza-loving, travel addict (68 countries and counting!) who is obsessed with reading and talking to people. In my opinion, there is nothing better in life than good company and great food.
Occasionally, I blog and Instagram about my adventures, but most of the time I am too busy living in the moment. Life is short, and I want to see all the places, eat all the food, create memories, and pet all of the dogs.
Education: BA in Communications from UNCC.

Meet Kristy Morrison
I’m not just a community manager.
I’m a kettlebell addict, mountaineering enthusiast, Seahawks football obsessed, digital marketer focused on Customer Experience and Optimization. I live in Seattle so you’ll likely find me partially rain-drenched with coffee in hand. I’ve lived in the PacNW my entire life and love it here, although I do enjoy the occasional escape. My favorite vacation is anywhere in Italy. (I secretly hope to one day grow up and become Italian.) I love reading anything with pages and listening to anything with notes. If I suddenly found myself independently wealthy, I might just go back to school for the rest of my life. I’m a crazy cat lady and you can find me and pics of my kitties on Instagram and Twitter.

Meet Rachel Michaels
I’m not just about customer connections.
Central Jersey girl (yes, Central Jersey does exist!) who loves an East Coast fall and dreams of a house on the beach someday. When I’m not working for B Squared, I write and design a monthly newsletter for a local US Swim team, which I thoroughly enjoy! I’m an avid runner, Orangetheory enthusiast, and shavasanah will forever be my favorite part of yoga. I love podcasts – any Murderinos or Whispering Alenes out there? I’m a bookworm, a true Taurus in only the best ways (and no, I will not budge on that one). I have highbrow/lowbrow taste, so I’m not ashamed to say I believe Bravo shows are a great palate cleanser at the end of a long day.
Education: BA in English from Rutgers University
Claim To Fame: I’ve run three incredibly painful marathons, but very rewarding! My first marathon was during an unprecedented 90+ degree day and runners were passing out from the heat on the course. That day is forever burned in my brain! The friends I’ve made through running are for life and have provided the best therapy anytime we run. Also-I will never run another marathon again. It’s crazy.
Stupid Human Trick: I’ve been known to repaint and redesign rooms in my house on a whim – and put them all back together in one day. I can also cut the edges without using tape – you know, no big deal;)

Meet Tanya Ponton
I’m not just the writer.
I’m an attorney-turned-novelist; or, recovering lawyer is what I always say. I suffer from wanderlust. I’m first generation Texan in a pure line of Louisianans . . . so a Saints fan, an etouffée-gumbo-po’boy connoisseur, and beaucoup attitude! I love to write, I love to write about writing, I love to teach people to write. I’m irrationally sad about the death of cursive. I’m implausibly fascinated with fonts. Grammarly is my junk food. And if I’m not writing, I’m travelling, often to London where I lived for almost a decade, or Dublin, or Paris . . . otherwise, anything with an ocean view.

Meet Liz Jeter
I’m not just crafty with advertising.
I am a born and raised Georgian who somehow missed the southern trait. I’m no Southern Belle by any traditional sense, but you can still catch me saying “bless her heart” and “hey y’all!” I am a self-taught crafter in woodworking, wood burning, and macrame. I have recently endeavored on the journey of being a foster mom. So far I have fostered five wonderful children, and intend to keep going as long as I can!

Meet Molly Janssen
I’m not just about ads data.
As a former gymnast turned collegiate pole vaulter, I’m a perfectionist – sometimes to a fault. The devil is in the details and being organized and getting things done is my m.o. Nothing feels better than working with a team to check off a difficult to-do. The Pomodoro Technique, Timeboxing, Don’t Break the Chain. If there is a productivity method out there, I’ve tried it.
Don’t let this scare you. Surprisingly, I DO know how to let my hair down and have a good time. I’m from a very large, obnoxious and FUN family, which means I’m a social chameleon. I love all things food – ramen is always on my mind – enjoy anything active and spend the majority of my free time with my friends and family (the human and furry kinds).

Meet Daniel Gurin
I’m not just creative with advertising.
I was born in Miami and raised on my grandparents’ farm in Belarus. I attended high school in the suburbs of D.C. and currently live in Prague studying Humanities at AAU.
Growing up on a farm gave me a deep appreciation for animals, hiking, camping, and mountain biking; When I’m not outdoors or working my ad magic for B2, I’m studying, relaxing and watching TV, listening to rap, and exploring Prague.
I’m a firm believer that all you need in life to be happy are: good friends, tasty food, and lots of laughs!

I also am a professional dancer and have danced and cheered on many teams. Lastly, I love to travel the world, learn new languages and try to go out of the country once a year!

Meet Charissa Carnall
I’m not just a social butterfly.
I’m an enneagram 7! (And clearly, I’m proud of it, lol.) I’m “mommy” to the sweetest, smartest, sassiest 4-year-old Shirley Temple look-alike you will ever meet. I’m the go-to for all things social media in my circle of influence (and I love it!) My husband and I spend our free time writing stage plays from scratch and dreaming up new business ideas.
I love to find new ways to organize my home that makes it more efficient for our family. My favorite evening activity is sitting on the front porch drinking sweet tea, catching up on life with my husband while we watch our daughter play with her neighbor friends.
I first ate pizza sauce when I was just 5 days old (I know… what was my mom thinking?!) It’s still my favorite food and I could eat it 3 times/day, 7 days/week!
Oh, and on the weekends you can find me on the edge of my seat proudly proclaiming… ROLL TIIIIIDE!

I am Florida-grown with a love for all things active and outdoors. If I’m not working out or walking my dog, you can find me at the beach or in the mountains. My husband is a Marine Corps pilot who always keeps me on the move… literally. I have learned to adapt in any environment and roll with the changes. My wild, blue-eyed catahoula leopard dog is my best friend, and I’m convinced her favorite hobby is testing my patience. We are currently living it up on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, while enjoying every experience this beautiful island has to offer.
