👋 Welcome everyone! Happy you’re here! I myself started my career as a social media manager and now am a community strategist on the Arb! I love to learn all about you and what has brought you to this point in your careers!

Can’t wait to meet you all!

Hey Folks - 

 

I’m Geoff Strawbridge, an agency owner and marketer for the past 20 years. I’ve got a small marketing firm based out of Vermont called the Bootstrap Collective. My work has spanned a few decades. I started in the early days (web1, web2) and have been active with organic social, paid social, organic search, paid search, paid ads, analytics, ecom, web dev, email, etc. 

Fun fact: I built an online health & wellness community using message boards, posts, and tools before Facebook/Meta and even before YouTube. We hired a bunch of qualified RD’s and ACSM’s fitness trainers and used chat, messages and proprietary video to support the community. 

 

 

Hi. thank you for the warm welcome 

I actually run my own company and launched few brands. while the economic situation forced us to let go of the marketing team. we are still doing the effort ourselves. 

I have a marketing and media background, and currently own and manage an F&B company
