About Kronda:
I’m a recovered WordPress developer turned digital marketer who loves to reinvent myself and my business. At age 34, I decided to become a programmer and spent the next five years getting a degree in Web Design and Interactive Media from the Art Institute of Portland.
After a couple of years at an agency, I struck out on my own to create WordPress websites for small business owners.
I’ve spent the past 6 years studying marketing with some of the best mentors in the business and rescuing business owners from ill-informed technology decisions. I want to spare you the overwhelm of wading through the thousands of choices and help you build a marketing system that will support your business for the long-term.
I bring my writing skills and other superpowers developed in previous careers in retail, customer service, and project management to everything I work on.
Our flagship offer is CRM 2 Sales, a done-for-you marketing automation program where we help business owners build an automated email marketing sales engine using Active Campaign.
When I’m not working, I can be found enjoying time at home with my wife, dog, and two cats, reading dead-tree books, riding one of my five bicycles, or enjoying the postcard vistas of the state of Oregon.
