Brandon (hereby known as, "B"), joined Chad as a younger brother back in 1983 and Axis in 2020, as a social media manager for several clients. B has extensive knowledge in storytelling and content development, with a BA in Creative Writing from Full Sail University. He has cultivated social audiences for entities like Aids.gov, TV personality "The Getaway Guy," and built social buzz for several independent video game company titles, including Nine Pound Studio's top 10 iOS app, Xenome, where he led content marketing and community development. B was also a contractor for a large auto repair company, where he developed content for their Facebook and Twitter social channels.
Fun fact about B: he has authored two Science Fiction books and loves meatloaf (the food).
Chad started Axis Local in 2019 after spending 15+ years in the corporate and media world. His experience is in strategy, digital marketing and the growing field of online reputation management. He has worked with marketing budgets from $30K to $30M and strives to be a partner to his clients. He holds a masters degree from Newhouse at Syracuse University.
Fun fact about Chad: He published two best-selling NYS travel books and has only visited about 50% of the locations in the books. Cool and lame at the same time, right?
Chad lives outside of Rochester NY with his wife and two daughters (also his hair stylists). They also have two very hairy cats (Juicebox and Zoey) with sharp claws that ruin couches. Chad will not buy another couch for a long time.
