Why Do You Love Rock Candy Media?

Rock Candy Media is an invaluable asset to my practice. They got my new practice started with a bang and haven’t slowed down since we started. In fact, I’ve been able to shed other vendors because Rock Candy Media is constantly adding new services that take our marketing to the next level.

Why Do You Love Rock Candy Media?

I love Rock Candy Media because they operate at a level that you can’t even imagine. They are always one step ahead of everyone else and know how to get things done in a way that fulfills our own values and principles. I have been blown away by everything they have created, and not once have needed to have them redo something. You can literally just give them the ball and let them run with it, and they will always win the game for you.

What Do You Do?

I am a communications manager at Oldcastle Materials, which is one of the largest building materials suppliers in North America. It’s my job to oversee internal employee communications and facilitate external marketing and recruitment efforts.

Why Do You “Get Up In The Morning?”

I love that I have the opportunity to seek out and highlight the awesome projects my company has a hand in building, and the people that help make them happen. Every time I drive on a highway or look at a building in the Austin skyline, it’s more likely than not that our people and products are involved. It’s a really unique aspect of my job and I love helping tell those stories.

Why Do You Love Rock Candy Media?

RCM brings the same level of quality and attention to detail to all the projects I send their way, no matter how small or large. I could tell right off the bat that they actually have skin in the game and care every bit as much as I do about my job, my deliverables and my customers, and that’s tough to find. They consistently deliver above and beyond my expectations, and are constantly thinking of new angles and approaches to drive results for us.

I’m in long-term recovery from heroin and crystal meth addiction, so what I do is like my life’s calling. I wake up every morning ready to get on the firing lines and help people find freedom from the same disease that destroyed me for over a decade.

Why Do You Love Rock Candy Media?

Rock Candy Media is by far the most detailed and specialized agency I’ve ever partnered with. Annie and Sam dial in on the essence of a brand or person and find what makes them tick. They helped us develop amazing creative and a beautiful website, helped us find our voice, and laser-focus on who we target. Essentially, they’re the shit and you’re making a mistake if you don’t work with them.

Why Do You Love Rock Candy Media?

I can’t say enough great things about Annie and her team! Having a communication and marketing background, I wanted to find a team that would understand our vision, share our excitement about technology and think as an extension of our team.

Why Do You “Get Up In The Morning?”

People. My daughter, my family, my friends, my team and ALL the people that are looking for answers about their health that I KNOW we can provide them. Why do I get up in the morning??? Try and stop me.

Why Do You Love Rock Candy Media?

I love Rock Candy Media because they help the people that are looking for answers to find Wellnicity. Because If people can’t find us, we are as ineffective as our competition. I love RCM’s ideas (that sometimes come at ridiculous hours). I love that they challenge me and push me to think outside of the box. I love what EACH individual member brings to their team. I LOVE the buzz that comes from sitting in a room or on the phone with them when we all starts building on an idea or a concept…MAGIC.
