Nick Footer

Pronouns: He/Him/His

Inspired by the success of his father and grandfather, our fearless leader, Nick Footer, was born with a fiery, insatiable drive to do one thing and one thing only: become a Business Badass. Ever since the ripe old age of 8, Nick Footer aspired to build his own company from scratch and by god did he do it. Before he could get his hands on the wheel of what would soon become one of Portland, Oregon’s up and coming digital marketing agencies, he had to face his biggest challenge yet: b u s i n e s s s c h o o l.

A powerhouse in the business world, the man, the myth, the legend Nick Footer obtained not one, not six, but TWO whole business degrees: a BA and an MBA, with focuses in Digital Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Business Strategy, and Bein’ a Heckin’ Boss.

Like to a siren in the Aegean Sea, Nick was drawn to the edge of the world… of marketing… search engine marketing to be exact. The year is 2010, and our dear future captain climbed aboard Anvil Media and worked his way up to a business development role. Years went by and Nick worked day and night to become a master of search marketing. Once he became the master, he split off to form his own company: Intuitive Digital.

Nick is passionate about many things—mainly the Red Sox and bad jokes—but mostly giving back to his clients, providing high-quality services, and working with amazing teams.

Danny Auerbach

Danny Auerbach is the Chief of Staff at Intuitive Digital, which is a fancy way of saying he’s the person making sure the trains run on time, the books balance, and nobody accidentally hires a disaster. Armed with a BA in Political Science from the University of Oregon and an MBA in Finance from Concordia, he spent years learning how organizations work before deciding it was more fun to just fix them. His wheelhouse is finance and operations — the unglamorous, load-bearing stuff that keeps a company from quietly falling apart.

Outside of work, Danny is a husband and father of two, and a man with an embarrassing number of airline miles and strong opinions about lounge access. He has visited every habitable continent, which he mentions casually and without apology. Antarctica is the last one standing, and yes, he has a plan.

Alysha Schultz

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Alysha was raised but not born in Portland, and her east coast sensibilities often emerge in a contentious game of Celebrity. She graduated with her Bachelor’s degree in English with a Minor in Writing from Portland State University. For four years she ran the marketing department in-house for a medical clinic, doing everything from project management and content creation to working directly with partners.

Alysha is passionate about understanding and cultivating brand identities, helping businesses share their story with the public through marketing.  She loves hitting the hiking trails around Portland with her family, checking out the newest brewery in town, or talking a friend into seeing a show at the Crystal Ballroom with her.

Piper Denney

Pronouns: They/Them/Theirs

Piper worked for years as a musician, drawn to the way sound, structure, and rhythm could shape something meaningful from nothing. In time, they discovered a similar creative language in code — one that builds digital experiences instead of songs. That realization led to a shift in focus: designing and developing websites that bring other people’s ideas to life.

Today, they love working with businesses of all sizes, helping turn ideas into thoughtful, functional digital spaces. They approach projects with care, creativity, and a belief in thoughtful collaboration as the heart of good work.

Outside of work, Piper is usually off-grid, restoring their 80-something year old house, or enjoying the quiet — always with memories of their loyal (and stubborn) dog, Sprout, close at heart.

Parker was born in California and since his birth has moved around to Idaho, Utah, Texas, and Montana.

Parker has worked for several agencies and companies helping them with their SEO strategies and other digital marketing related work. He is also passionate about being creative in all he does and would love to increase his artistic and illustration skills.

On his off days, you’ll find Parker playing with LEGOs, wrangling his three children, watching shows with Melissa, his wife, and possibly playing some guitar! His family recently added a sixth member to the family, an Australian Cattle Dog named Bella.

Jess Chang

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Born and raised in sunny Los Angeles, Jess has a B.A. in Biology from the University of California – Santa Barbara and is ecstatic about her move up the beachy coast to Portland. After realizing that Pharmacy wasn’t her true calling, Jess discovered the ever-amazing world of marketing. As someone who is motivated by helping others, it was only natural that she chose SEO, where she can think creatively and analytically to help businesses get found by their target audience.

Outside of work, Jess, a passionate globetrotter and wine-enthusiast, can be found lifting weights at the gym, going to concerts and festivals, eating potato chips, or walking her highly energetic English springer-Australian cattle dog, Bella.

Autumn Buck

Bryan de Miranda

Bryan grew up in the suburbs of Toronto. After graduating university, he decided he’d had more than enough snow and cold for one lifetime, and moved to his birth country of Brazil. He hasn’t seen snow since and hasn’t looked back.

Prioritizing his lifestyle and spending time in the ocean, Bryan stumbled into copywriting after teaching English, moonlighting as an academic translator, and a stint on the localization team of a Brazilian tech company.

Picking up the call to copywriting, Bryan set out to find a great group of like-minded professionals who also valued work-life balance. And, as fate would have it, our paths crossed!

When not reading, writing, listening to or thinking of words, Bryan loves surfing, cooking delicious food, and admiring cats when they tuck in their front paws.
