Mark Hughes

Founder | Chief Happiness Officer


Mark takes his title very seriously. He knows people think that Chief Happiness Officer sounds frivolous, but it is anything but that. Happiness is often the critical component that differentiates the clients we work with. Companies with attitude, strong culture and focus win the day. The success of companies like Southwest Air and Google are testament to the efficacy of this point of view.


And Google is more than a happy company that Mark likes; it is one of the partners Mark has developed for AgencyWeb. In addition to being Google certified, AgencyWeb is supported by a team at Google that Mark has been working with over the last few years.

 

"I love the start-up process, it's an exciting time for any business owner. We help new ventures get up and running fast and save our clients ten's of thousands of dollars in the process"


Before starting AgencyWeb Mark also served as Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Sony and has started and run numerous companies over the span of his career.


Now at AgencyWeb Mark focuses on paid adword campaign development and is responsible for the strategy and development of online marketing for our clients. Mark’s abilities with some of the most sophisticate analytics tools in the industry including Omniture puts his results way ahead of the pack. You’ll be glad Mark is on your side, and you can’t help ending up a friend.

He won’t tell you this, but Mark was one of the founders and players on the Maine Roadrunners Wheelchair Rugby Team. The inspiration for the Movie Murder Ball

Tom Carroll

Founder | Chief Executive Officer


Mark lured Tom out of early retirement in Maine with a simple statement. I can tell what advertising works, I know exactly what converts and I can prove it. This was like having someone tell Tom, Oh by the way I found the Holy Grail. He was on the next plane, literally, and arrived in South Florida early in 2008 to help pull together and launch this Advertising Agency.


Tom is passionate about marketing that gets results you can measure. From his early days as an AE on the US Army account up through his days at Saatchi and Saatchi where he was responsible for everything results focused including the National Yellow Pages division the Computer Marketing Group and Direct Response.

 

My nicer clients would say -- "Tom, I know half of my advertising doesn't work, and If I knew which half it was I'd cancel it." Finally, I can show you what's working and what's not, really.

 

Tom wants to bring the long awaited promise of results based marketing to a few clients now, and than as many small businesses as we can. As he has been known to say—This baby will scale.

 

Tom likes anything that floats – it can have a sail, or a motor, or paddles—really anything, so when Mark showed him the future offices, and they were right on the Intracoastal in Pompano Beach, well that really sealed the deal for Tom. Give him a call, he’ll get to the bottom of things quickly and let you know if we can help.
