Raquel Richardson, Founder & Principal
Idea Girl
"What would you do if you knew you wouldn't fail?" a friend asked Raquel at the turn of 2000. In March of the same year, she launched Silver Square. Raquel is always making connections and linking big ideas, two habits she gladly practices for clients. Always up for a laugh and a brainstorm, Raquel brings energy and focus to our strategic and creative world. If you can catch her, ask her about her latest big idea: Guide Foundry, set to launch in 2012.
Clay Mabbitt, COO / Online Marketing Lead
Navigator
Clay helps us navigate the ever-widening field of potential marketing solutions to land on the best ones to grow our clients' businesses. To guide our recommendations, he sets up analytics, pores over numbers and stays on top of the latest marketing trends. All that sounds like serious business — and it is — but Clay also cracks more jokes than anyone else in the office. (We're still analyzing how funny he is.)
Casey Kenley, Communications Director
Interpreter
A former journalist, Casey preaches that every person and business has a story to tell. It's a story that, if interpreted well, can engage people and compel them to take action or form an opinion. Getting to that authentic "once upon a time" is a matter of questions and answers. Casey asks, clients answer and the story takes shape. At Silver Square, we can count on her to quibble over punctuation and restaurant quality.
Dean Verleger, Lead Programmer
Zen Coder
Dean balances a passion for creation with an impulse for generalization — an impulse necessary for pragmatic programmers. Dean started exploring the art of coding and new media back in high school, where he crafted websites and campy text adventure games. A few of his aspirations include publishing his own games, growing lots of food and keeping bees. He's a regular techie naturalist, and we marvel at his usual tranquility.
Matt Kiefer, New Media Manager
Visual Geek
Give Matt a video camera and a couple hours and he won't let you down. Ever since he bought his first video camera at the age of 11, he has been creating stories that stick with the lucky folks who have seen them. Over the years, he has also discovered a passion for photography and design. Complementing his mad shooting skills are his fierce eating skills. Ask him about his fullness scale.
