A self-proclaimed ’strategic-creative’ hybrid Mike began his career in advertising amp; design before attending The George Washington University for his MBA in the late 90s. The resulting left-brain/right-brain skill set uniquely positioned him to help clients solve complex problems with truly visionary solutions.
He founded Peaktwo in 2008 to help companies reach new levels of success. Whether that was navigating an acquisition rolling out a new product or managing rapid growth. Today Mike defines success levels differently as more clients look to look to grow their business through more purpose-driven narratives.
As the CEO and Creative Director at Peaktwo Mike brings his detail-obsessed laser-focused intensity to every client every project — every time. He thinks on his feet and often with his hands (and a drawing tool). Hes usually the one pacing around the whiteboard scratching out notes and sketching ideas.
When he isnt working with clients youll find him spending time with his family and their two dogs. Those of you who really know him may strenuously disagree and place him on the golf course or the side of a mountain. A transplant from New Jersey he still roots for the New York Yankees and after 17 years in Washington DC avoids rush-hour traffic as much as possible.
Want something done? Just get Charis on it. Known as the Peaktwo pacemaker Charis (it rhymes with Paris) keeps all the plates spinning and makes sure none of them crash. How does she do it? Its all in her roll-up-your-sleeves attitude her ability to juggle and shift with ease and her refreshingly no-drama outlook.
From managing the financials to making meaningful reports out of columns of data to poring over the nitty-gritty details within each project Charis happily cracks the whip and sweats the small stuff—all while managing to be one of the most easy-going people we know. (Maybe its the accent?) Before coming to Peaktwo Charis worked for some of the worlds largest and most reputable marketing service and IT industry consultancies.
Born in Scotland she graduated from the UKs Coventry University with a degree in equine studies giving her equal parts horse sense and business sense. When shes not wrangling our projects shes keeping up with her soccer-loving son and daughter ages 16 and 14 playing with her two dogs and leading numerous church activities.
With 17 years of experience managing hundreds of web projects Chris is the guy who keeps the trains running on time the clients constantly in the loop and the spreadsheets and to-do lists under control. From the very first meeting with a client to the launch day Chris relishes parachuting into each clients area of business ensures that all of their needs are heard and that we always keep our promises.
Chris grew up in Long Island and Pennsylvania but his Southern trajectory started during his college years at James Madison University in Virginia where he earned his degree in computer information systems. Chris childhood sports obsession — if the game involved a ball he played it — has served him well as he now funnels that knowledge into coaching his sons soccer and flag football teams. (Not to mention that he was once a finalist on Sports Jeopardy.)
Every year Chris also takes his leadership skills to the woods during a single-day 30.1-mile hike on the Appalachian Trail to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis foundation.
After 10+ years of professional web development experience Brandon sees the world through black and green Matrix code-tinted glasses. Beginning out in the software industry then making an eventual 180 degrees transition into the advertising industry Brandon can navigate his way around a data driven back-end as well as a highly stylized front-end project.
When Brandon isnt combing through Stack Overflow you can probably find him on the soccer field trying out a new restaurant or still sitting in front of the computer dreaming of becoming the next eSports superstar.
With a background in brand strategy a degree in Integrated Marketing Communication and a relentless curiosity to keep up with the latest trends in digital marketing and user behavior Bridgette digs into our clients industry landscapes audience expectations and business objectives to turn research insights into innovative digital opportunities.
When shes not heads down on her MacBook you will probably find Bridgette testing new recipes in the kitchen [read: eating] belting showtunes and watching scary movies with her husband and sons (two rescued kitties!).
Moving between countries regularly Simon grew up closing the communication gap between cultures. This led him to telling stories visually through Graphic Design. Now hes channeled his focus into UI/UX where hes always looking for new ways to create experiences that captivate audiences.
When Simon isnt working hes trying out interesting JavaScript libraries (isnt that considered work?) taking photos judging people who eat peanut butter collecting records or trying to brew his new favourite beer.
We wanted a marketing agency who could help us navigate through a complex rebrand involving multiple companies in different industries. We also needed an agency to deliver a custom modern website incorporating all of our services. Peaktwo delivered on all fronts providing strategic direction design expertise and a clean website build that we can update ourselves.
President amp; CEO
Peaktwo collaborated with us to create an online presence we are proud to share with our community. They conducted a professional and efficient process in building our digital home that I truly believe will be a significant boost to our business. We are grateful to have chosen your team to journey with us.
Founder amp; CEO
We didnt need just another marketing agency we needed one that understood SaaS solutions and how to communicate them simply. Peaktwo had the expertise but could our Silicon Valley-based company depend on a Charlotte NC agency? Absolutely.
VP of Marketing SimpleLegal
Peaktwo hit a home run. Not only I have partnered with Peaktwo on multiple website designs and builds at multiple companies I know that I will continue to do that going forward. Id highly recommend them to any CMO.
CMO Granicus
We conducted an extensive RFP process and selected Peaktwo because they came with perspective and - importantly - a willingness to push back on us as the customer. The customer is always right (except when they arent) and we didnt want to engage a team of ’Yes-Men’ and ’Yes-Women’.
Chief Marketing amp; Business Development Officer Arabella Advisors
We tap a variety of best of breed specialists for all kinds of assignments. The folks at Peaktwo truly function as an extension of our agency team especially when it comes to representing our own brand within one of our most important channels.
VP Bailey Lauerman
PeakTwo was an essential addition to our corporate website overhaul. Their experienced team understood our needs and helped deliver an exceptional result in a timely professional and friendly manner.
