While her Honor's Society high school peers were off to college, Lorrie attended the prestigious School of Hard Knocks where she moved to the low-cost-of-living community of Santa Barbara and worked full time and went to school at night. Her people-meets-sales skills landed her promotions in retail and she soon ended up in management at a foo-foo department store, where a personal shopping client who worked one of those hard to explain internet jobs offered her a "drop out of college you'll make a lot of money on the internet" job. Lorrie needed to satiate her 'not like the other kids' ways, so she told her friends and family that she was quitting it all to sell "clicks." Some intervention attempts were staged, but Lorrie persisted and ended up at a leading online advertising network. Although the job was lucrative, driving traffic to sites that had gargantuan ad budgets and no business models was un-fulfilling. While other dot-commers were buying new cars and partying like it was 1999 (oh wait it was), Lorrie took her dot-com cash, left the victim triangle of strategic-less marketing and pulled some serious shop therapy by going back to college.

Another start-up (See Anne Orfila's bio) pulled her in and although the dot-com boom was over, she found herself riding the dot-bomb ride with pride. She went from selling clicks to managing marketing campaigns and took her depth of online advertising CPM, CPC and CPA speak and added SEO, SEM, CTR, PPC, Email, Usability, CMS and other new nerd phrases to her vocabulary, giving her a breadth of expertise and securing a "veteran" status in her field. She tried to find her happy place climbing the ladder at other companies and finally came to terms with the fact that she had professional Attention Deficit Disorder and had to teach, speak, write and serve multiple clients at the same time to find self-satisfaction. She continued teaching at UCSB and Berkeley and when her clientele became too overwhelming to serve on her own, Lorrie tapped her former colleagues like Anne and Kelly to help her make small businesses BIG with the web then enrolled in graduate school to satiate her ADD/overachiever tendencies.

While researching businesses and critically evaluating the company she had, she had a Maslow's Hierarchy of needs self-actualization that although she helped people with their marketing (which she did really well), what she was really doing was marketing THERAPY. Listening to problems, solving problems, helping clients find answers within themselves, own their wants, get over fears of failure and let of marketing efforts that were dysfunctional were what her life purpose was about!

Lorrie soon recruited other talented marketers and built an amazing "Wild Web Women ®" (and man!) team to help save/stop more professionals from being dangers themselves and others. Lorrie is committed to using her superhuman marketing powers for good and speaks, writes and teaches with her authentic spunk and flair. Lorrie holds a Master of Arts in Organizational Management, is loving the wild web life and empowering professionals to manifest their marketing destinies. Well behaved women never made history, and being different has worked so far, so Lorrie has no intention of behaving any time soon.

As CEO (Chief Enthusiasm Officer that is!) of Web Marketing Therapy, Lorrie serves as lead strategist to the firm, training WMT members, offering high-level advisory, serving organizations as a trainer and jumping in on marketing management to keep her skills sharp. When she is not speaking, training, running Web Marketing Therapy or working on accounts, she writes. Her book The 36-Hour Course to Online Marketing is a must-read.

Whilst attending San Diego State University, Nicki prioritized work, school, exercise and fun-time. She also took the opportunity to study abroad in Madrid, Spain for 6 weeks. Learning and traveling in Spain was a life-changing experience for her and she strongly believes in Global education for all students and states the best way to learn about a culture is first-hand. Nicki graduated in 4 years with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and with an emphasis in Integrated Marketing Communications.

Nicki worked as a Marketing Coordinator at a small business that manufactures and distributes professional rescue equipment to over 75 countries. As the marketing coordinator, Nicki helped arrange and setup their appearance on the Travel Channel Network show, Made In America. Although working full-time, she wanted to learn more about Internet marketing and journeyed into the land of Web Marketing Applications at UCSB extension. That's when she met Lorrie Thomas Ross and thus began the WILD WEB WOMEN ® era. She immediately asked LTR to hire her for contractor work and Nicki worked nights and weekends and fell in love with the Wild Web Women ® team.

She quickly grew a passion for the numbers and analytics side of Web Marketing and she became the Data Diva for the WMT team! Measuring site success and reviewing the analytics on a regular basis to build strategy and new opportunities to make more money - is the name of her game. Data is useless unless you have someone (a.k.a. NICKI) to interpret it.

Nicki is also the Chief Operating Officer at WMT and she supports clients as a web marketing advisor, trainer and marketing manager. Nicki oversees projects, communicates with clients, and helps implement new marketing solutions for clients. She also supports other WMT team members and represents WMT as a team leader. Nicki is also responsible for the new client sales process and supports all clients with any questions and inquiries. COO also means Chief Opportunities Officer, which means it is Nicki's job to leverage all marketing opportunities to build strategy and optimize web marketing.

The beginning of her college years was spent pursuing a dichotomic educational experience; she filled every elective class with studio art classes while following the requirements necessary to graduate with a degree in Psychology, a study that suited her people-person personality and her incorrect assumption that art was not a career.

After graduating from Sonoma State University with a BA in Psychology (and a new found fondness for Russian River Valley pinots), Jennie began her work as a case manager for a criminal diversion program. Being responsible for the one-on-one management and guidance of adult clients through completion of the court mandated programs proved to be more than what she was looking for. Jennie left the job and her initial desire to pursue a Masters degree in Psychology for a job in the field of litigation support. Working as a Litigation Document Review Database Specialist (phew, that was a mouthful) was Jennie's first taste of working from home, remotely communicating with a team around the world. The job was a great experience with a great company, but left Jennie hungry for the thing that drove her soul, creativity.

In 2008 Jennie was given a blessing in disguise; after losing her job in the first wave of the recession she decided that she couldn't go back to what she was doing before and wanted to tap into her creative talents. She researched educational design programs in the area and chose the Santa Barbara City Collage School of Media Art, Graphic Design program and finished with a certificate in Graphic Design within 1 year and three awards and two honorable mentions for her design work at the annual School of Media Art Showcase award show.

Since finishing the program, Jennie has been designing and freelancing for a variety of small business clients specializing in brand development, tutoring SBCC design students and working for WMT. As the Visual Communications Connoisseur with Web Marketing Therapy Jennie is learning the ropes of web marketing (and all that it entails), while fulfilling design and visual communication needs for WMT and its clients.

Diagnosis: Doodling-Tourettes; an immediate and uncontrollable urge to doodle on any substrate. Crazy Cat Lady.

Addictions: Arts and crafts supplies, traveling (even if it only means heading down to the Coffee Cat for an hour), really beautiful fonts (fonts.com, I love you).

Obsessions: Perusing the internet for pictures of awesome design and saving it in her image collection, illustrating cupcakes (usually with a face and usually dancing) and checking email every 5 minutes.

Phobias: Spiders, mayonnaise and noticing those little details that were missed after she printed out her design.

Compulsive Behaviors: Leaving every single design program and an internet window with 20 tabs open on my computer all day long (hey, you never know what you might need).

Self-medicates with: Yoga, running, cooking (and eating) delicious food, brand new shiny magazines with lots of pretty pictures and way cool typography, a glass of vino or a nice cold beer and sleeping in on the weekends.

Try interviewing in the professional business world and having PASTRY CHEF as your last job! She was practically laughed out of her first interview-but something made them hire her (must be her charming personality!) Working for one of the largest temp agency's for three years was fun and challenging, but when afore mentioned dot.com came knocking (See Lorrie and Anne's bio) she was wooed into the shorts and flip-flop, dogs at work lifestyle of the innovative company and off to work she went! Working alongside the President, CFO and Chairman of the Board brought a multitude of opportunities to dabble in marketing, sales, hr and just about anything else that needed to be done at the growing company. Kelly returned to her marketing roots when one of the marketing team members went out on maternity leave - and Lorrie got to show her the ins and outs of all the letters Anne mentioned in her story. Lorrie eventually went off on a new adventure, but still crossed paths with Kelly almost weekly at Summerland Beach Café', where Kelly dined on Sunday mornings with friends and every time they met, Lorrie would talk about this lil' ol' marketing company and toss in "if you ever leave the dot com, let me know-would love to have you on the team!" Lorrie had to wait a few years, but after Kelly joined the motherhood club, working with the Wild Web Woman ® team Lorrie was building sounded like much more fun! She joined the team in April '07 and has been meta-tagging, blog training, writing, SEOing, organizing and counseling ever since!

Diagnosis: Detail Diva with a desperate need to help people

Addictions: My Crackberry, Sugar (must have dessert after dinner-doesn't everyone?), A&W Root Beer, biking instead of driving whenever feasible, horses, dogs, cats (ok, pretty much anything with fur!) and my too cute for words toddler and vet school student husband!

Obsessions: Making sure all my son's toys are put back together daily and have all the pieces accounted for, clicking the "reconcile now" button on my crackberry every couple of minutes to make sure I'm not missing an email

Phobias: WWLD (What Would Lorrie Do) moments when she isn't reachable on crackberry, facebook, twitter or email and I need to come up with a solution NOW! Sending an email to a client with a spelling error or the wrong attachment

Compulsive Behaviors: hanging all clothes according to color (lightest to darkest) and sleeve length (shortest to longest) and then proceeding to space the hangers (one finger apart), facing all the labels on jars in the fridge OUT and arranging by type (my husband calls me MONK), not to mention washing off the lids of said jars before returning them to their proper spot

Self-Medicates with: Reality TV, Ice Cream-any kind will do in a pinch, but my two favorites are Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby and Baskin Robbins Peanut Butter and Chocolate, or a bike ride with the husband, dogs and kid

By the time high school rolled about, this new lifestyle was getting pretty stagnant and Valia was itching for something and somewhere new. However, there was the little matter of college that needed to be addressed and so she spent her four years of high school making the most of her education, participating in the typical (but necessary) clubs, honor societies and dipping her feet in the pool. After becoming 'well-rounded' her 'respectable' career of choice was law. However, realizing how long that would take and the lack of 'world explorer extraordinaire' attached to the job description, that idea quickly faded. When college came about, she discovered she could hit two birds with one stone: to go school and not stay in one place! (Just to clarify, Valia is against animal cruelty and would never hit a bird, despite her fear of the malicious pigeons that hang out outside her flat).

The place crazy enough to satisfy Valia's world curiosities was conveniently enough situated across the Atlantic: Richmond-The-American-International-University-In-London. She wasn't sure what to study - but she knew it had to be something that she could apply wherever she ended up in the world. Enter marketing: practical yet mysterious, broad and ever-changing. After four years of taking various classes, serving as editor of her school's finance newsletter (leaning about numbers is important too!) and representing Japan in the annual International Night, Valia further spent her school breaks traversing Europe. By getting stranded in Bohemian valleys, sneaking into the Vatican and spending a night in a former Swedish prison, she feels she has succeeded in maximizing her college years while feeding her appetite for everything new and different.

After graduating, she realized four years in London were not enough to discover every tea house in town so she decided to remain for the time being. Her internship in Internal Communications re-affirmed her love for the flexible and diverse marketing discipline, where her creativity and passion for new projects could flourish and be met with new challenges. Valia feels Web Marketing Therapy is the perfect place to experience and contribute to the fusion of online marketing and considers herself to be extremely lucky to have been introduced to this creative and driven team!

Self-medicates with: Listening to songs in languages she does not understand, Pret's Yoga Bunny Detox, dramacrazy.net, Lindt's Coffee Intense Chocolate

Heading into college with the idea that she wanted to pursue something both creative and eventually lucrative, she started her time at the University of Maryland, College Park, in the department of Architecture. At the same time, she was riding high on a scholarship presented to her by a new honors program, College Park Scholars. As part of that program she had to choose an honors discipline, and picked International Relations – mostly because she dreamt of living abroad at some point and figured it would help lay the ground work. After a year-or-so of being unhappy in the Architecture Department, and relishing the work of the honors program, Kate abandoned the idea of designing skyscrapers and went full steam ahead into dreams of working for the US Department of State in international diplomacy. Working her way through college as an Admin Assistant for the Department of Government & Politics only helped cement the idea that she wanted to be among the ranks of the professors, visiting dignitaries and diplomats for whom she fetched coffee.

Having studied abroad her Junior year in London, learning about British public policy concerns, Kate decided to take advantage of the BUNAC program upon receiving her BA and worked in London for a year after graduating. While she had a great time in the Social Services office of the International Students House there taking graduate students on tours of Western Europe, throwing parties and DJ'ing, her self-taught skills designing posters, pamphlets, invitations, and ultimately web sites was increasingly leveraged on the job on top of her "regular" duties. After an unexpected departure from the UK at the end of her work visa (she'd hoped for a visa extension that was unceremoniously denied), she landed back in her home state of Connecticut planning to move back to the DC-area and pick up where she left off in the world of International Diplomacy.

With a growing portfolio of design work under her belt, however, she was persuaded by Oracle Corporation in Redwood Shores to join their ranks as a graphic designer during the dot-com boom by offering her a crazy dot-com salary, great health care & a moving budget. Having never even thought about living on the West Coast, Kate saw this as the spectacular opportunity to try something new and pay off her student loans. She packed the car with her clothes and house plants and drove across the country to start a new life.

While at Oracle for just under 7 (!) years her career evolved as her discipline evolved, from Graphic Designer, to UI Designer, to Interaction Designer, to User Experience Designer, and ultimately to managing a team of Interaction Designers, Usability Engineers and Visual Designers. Growing tired of the corporate management struggle in a ruthless environment, she moved to a job with Sony Corporation of America as a user experience design team of one on a media content management project with a small team of developers & a much shorter commute.

While at Sony Kate determined that she wanted to pursue a more flexible and personally satisfying life, and started her own company, Outbox Online (http://www.outboxonline.com), where she could do freelance web design & development, see projects through to successful completion from start to finish, and enjoy the feeling that comes from seeing her clients thrive with their new web presence. It is through Outbox Online that Kate met Lorrie as a colleague on a mutual project. Lorrie's passion about her career and fun approach to the work of helping people identify and exceed their personal and professional goals through web marketing made it really easy to decide to work with her wonderful team. Offering her services through Web Marketing Therapy as a web designer and website developer, Kate is here to make your website clean, easy-to-use, and beautiful.

Kate lives in beautiful Portland, Oregon with her husband, Graeme, and their two dogs, Gus & Ernie.

True to her word, she did that for about a month, and was quickly whisked up by the International Sales Department of a major Scanning Probe Microscopy company. Staying with that for a few years, she became an expert in Excel and deciphering different international accents. Eventually bored with that, she moved on to a new dot-com company that was going to change the world of dial-up (you laugh now, but they sure were serious at the time!). Working the entire time in Advertising Online Sales with Lorrie by her side, she was introduced to the world of acronyms at a young age: CPC, CPM, CPA and in a matter of three years added C-U-Later to that when she left the corporate world to help build and shape a little human. Missing all those acronyms, she was soon woo-ed by Lorrie to become Lorrie Thomas Web Marketing's first employee, bringing forth all of her skills from life and work to better serve the World Wide Web. Anne's part in Web Marketing Therapy, as Psycho-Web-Analyst, is to help the client understand the web, understand Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM), decipher their website's statistics and sometimes, as an added bonus, decipher what is happening within themselves. A little bit crazy, a love for solving puzzles, a wry sense of humor and a lot of smarts make her the leading Psycho-Web-Analyst on the WebMarketingTherapy team.

After years as a junior executive in the corporate world and sick of wearing nylons, Mary decided it was time for a personal adventure; the voice of global curiosity came a calling (screaming, actually) and she set off on the high seas to work on a cruise ship and experience the world (of which 75% is water) first hand. The work was hard, but the time off to explore was ample and there was never a shortage of material to write about or photo document (or eat or drink for that matter). The postcards and letters flowed from far-away places but like all good adventures, those days ended to make way for other interests: terra firma, an apartment and furniture, official foodie status and a much needed college degree.

Originally from the Bay Area, Mary received her Bachelor's degree in Spanish literature from SF State and was on the fast track to teach classroom Spanish. While managing a catering company during the dot com boom, she met the man of her dreams and decided to move to Santa Barbara and begin anew. While she has worn many hats and has several accomplishments under her belt, her love for words and writing has led her to web marketing and the WMT team; a varied and experienced group of individuals to whom she feels fortunate to collaborate with. Taming the wild, wild web, for Mary, is the next great adventure!

Like a good Swede, Pamela graduated with a B.A. in Communication Arts from Cal Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, CA. While there, she worked in the studios (KTTV News, Fox Studios, and Paramount Pictures); yet, no matter where she was, the marketing ideas would surface. Her expanded interests also earned her a national gold medal in persuasive speech, tennis championships, and the artistic title of “journeyman printmaker.”

Since graduating college, Pamela has helped a number of companies grow. As a “farmer’s daughter,” she often found herself wearing multiple marketing hats and rolling up her entrepreneurial sleeves. She served as Marketing Director for the Corporate Law Firm of Citron & Deutsch (and several of their entrepreneurial clients), College Enterprises, Inc. (which was purchases by Blackboard, Inc. in 2001) and an educational research and development company called, Spotlight Enterprises, Inc. (founded in Sweden). She’s been a marketing consultant for several other companies (incl.: Marketing & Financial Management, Inc., 3M, Saturn, and Stockholm Krystal Vodka). Her emphasis is in strategic marketing and relationship building, delivered through creative execution. When Pamela met like-minded Lorrie Thomas Ross and her inspiring team, she couldn’t help but join forces. Together, the team shares a goal of delivering an “evolutionary new approach” to web marketing that maximizes business relationships and success.

Her desire for visual perfection continued into her twenties where as a Santa Barbara native she attended the college by the sea (SBCC) in pursuit of a Graphic Design and Visual Communications degree. She transferred to the "big campus" (UCSB) and finished with a B.A. in the History of Art and Architecture. One of her favorite classes was about popular culture and art in which she was required to watch the Madonna movie "Truth or Dare". Good times.

After graduation, she worked with the Director of Advertising at the health food mecca, Lazy Acres Market. This was a great time of learning for her. She adopted the new movement toward organic, green, and eco-friendly living. She parlayed this knowledge of a healthy lifestyle to a position with the Portland based women's activewear company "Lucy". This is where she marketed the growing brand to local active women using innovative grass roots promotion. She rallied a troop of ambassadors to represent the brand.

One of the ambassadors for Lucy was Hemalayaa, a national yoga and Bollywood dance star. She formed a professional relationship and was chosen by Hemalayaa to work as her Marketing Manager. She designed graphics, planned events and workshops. Her creativity and inspiration lead to styling Hemalayaa's costume for the fitness DVD: "Bollywood Party Workout".

She developed her business, The Frugal Fashionista in 2008. Her services include "Image Branding" for public figures; including a CEO, an R&B singer, and several female politicians. She also works with clients who need a wardrobe upgrade. She markets her clients' image by using the elements of shape, color and design. She enhances their best assets, which gives them personal style based on their individual goals and needs. She includes a photo album of looks, a styling guide and a shopping list to be completed 'frugally' of course.

She decided to further explore her talents in 2009 by becoming a Programmer at Santa Barbara's Community Radio Station, KCSB-FM. Her childhood hobby was now a reality and her weekly show "Rock It Properly" takes inspiration from Dr. Demento and the School of Rock. It features musical themes, local guests, trivia questions, factoids and FUN!

She also attended UCSB Extension in 2009 for a Professional Certificate in Marketing. She was awesomely inspired by Lorrie's "Social Media" class. Not only had she been using Social Media sites to promote herself but also to promote her clients as well. Lorrie reaffirmed her sense of the immediate and future importance of Web Marketing. She completed the Marketing Certification this May 2010.

Excited to join the Wild Web Women®, she jumped right in when Lorrie said, "Are you ready to rock the Web?" She applies the skills and techniques on a daily basis with the thought in mind of "What would Lorrie Thomas Ross do?." Her goal as a Cyber Cowgirl is to "lasso" the web with innovation and energy. Yee-haw!

He knows that vanity, self-awareness and mindfulness of image are qualities that need to be paid special attention to in marketing promotions. On the web, "show me" is often much more powerful than "tell me", so KC ensures the photographs and video on WMT client websites represent personality, personal style and create a positive memory that makes a meaningful marketing investment.

In the first seconds a potential client scans a web page, organizations have to capture attention - competition is only a click or two away. Photographs and video are two very valuable tools to keep customers on a site and should never be overlooked when refreshing your image online. KC's marketing mantra is "Invest in beautiful images. They will be useful for years to come."

In business, the general rule is "Location, Location, Location". In Photography, the rules are just as simple, "Lighting, Lighting, Lighting and a bit of touchup".

Having a web ego is healthy -KC is proud to be a "web-vanity enabler" to make sure professionals and organizations looks good where it counts most these days - on the web.
