We Specialize in Building Brands Through Social Media.

What you don’t know about Shannon though will astound you. Did you know that she was a Maryland Distinguished Scholar in the Arts? Or that she got a scholarship for her clarinet skills? Or what about the fact that she Minored in Saxophone during college? These are all things Shannon keeps on the down-low because she is one of the most humble people you’ll meet. (We had to make her post this bio)
Aside from a wide-range of artistic skills, her musical background fostered her organizational skills, her self-drive and the open-minded way that she searches for solutions with her clients. She self-proclaims “geek status” when discussing how to optimize small businesses over a glass of wine. She’s quite well read in this arena, too, so if you need to know the newest tools and be up to speed on all things social media, check out her LinkedIn articles. And if you need a pep talk to get over your limitations, Shannon is our go-to Ginger. We call her bits of wisdom “Gingersnaps.”

When not in the office, Shannon spends her time with her wife, Carolee; her friends; and her family, and you can often find them on the bike trails of Richmond and beyond. If you’re in search of a bike partner who isn’t afraid to wear those “butt pads” and go the distance, hit her up. Shannon is our Renaissance woman who is always down for dancing to Disco music, exploring something new and bringing businesses to life.

Missy got her start with social media through the music business; promoting artists, festivals, and music education. Now, she is fine-tuning her expertise for a variety of markets and is eager to continue growing your business. Outgoing and a closet goofball, Missy is always down for a good chat and a good laugh! When she’s not geeking out over social, Missy is a proud cat mom, musician, professional Netflix binge-watcher, globetrotter, and can often be spotted among the isles of local thrift stores.

Stephanie is a lifelong learner and appreciates how much TSG pushes their employees to foster new skills. (Anyone need a Google Ad? Stephanie is on it!)  Her adaptability allows her to thrive in the ever changing social media world as well as provide individualized best practices. She is intuitive and quick to understand not only her client’s pains but also the things that pain her client’s clients! Her positivity and integrity shapes all of her work, but deep down she has a secret she has yet to reveal to her coworkers: She can tap dance!

Mason is both incredibly easy going and eager to take on any challenge. His ambition is shown by the fact that he and his friend started a small business his senior year at VCU, and carried it out for three years. Mason is excited to continue fine-tuning his entrepreneurial spirit and also looks forward to mastering the management and analytics side of social media. He is creative in just about everything and is always diving into a new hobby…ask him about his woodworking or bonsai trees! Mason has always kept his childlike wonder and can still make a pretty amazing fort like he did when he was a kid. If you ever see Mason around ask him to do anything outdoors in Richmond. Chances are he’ll say yes! 

(For all of you who were wondering, just because Mason is also a ginger doesn’t mean he is related to Shannon…but he does fit in nicely with the TSG team!)
