TJ
digital marketing lead, consulting partner
TJ is Factor3's resident digital marketing guru. He started his career in finance but was lured away by the ever-evolving marketing industry. After college, he worked at a marketing agency and media company in Times Square for years before answering the call to head up marketing for a DC-based start-up. Despite his marketing strategy, that startup was very successful (one of his favorite jokes). Luckily for Factor3, that company eventually sold to Apple and TJ decided to start a marketing firm and, eventually, to partner with us on a broad cross-section of digital marketing services, from marketing strategy to analytics to ad buys. While TJ has worn many different hats, his focus has never changed—to create marketing that actually works. He's also a closet designer, so you can expect his presentations and dashboards to look fabulous. TJ lives in Northern Virginia with his wife and three young kids.

the factor3 story
We believe that nonprofits and companies seeking to do good in the world shouldn't be intimidated by the perceived complexities of the digital ecosystem. Giving nonprofits access to a small group of creatives who are just as passionate about their work as they are, and who are willing to empower them with knowledge for their next project, is our goal.
We do this by bringing our talent and expertise to both corporate and nonprofit clients. Our corporate clients love us because they get the benefit of a small boutique firm that is highly responsive, streamlined, and results-driven. And our nonprofit clients love the fact that our corporate partners subsidize our nonprofit work by helping us to keep our (lower) rates affordable for smaller, mission-driven organizations.
