Nickie Froiland, Owner

She's the boss, and Tony Danza knows it. While running the company, she runs up the cell bill, runs in her free time and keeps everything running in tip top shape. And FYI, keep your laptops and breakables away from her, unless you have an insurance policy.

Tammy Hester, Go To Gal

You might mistake her for a superhero with all she can do and does. While keeping the office running, keeping Nickie on point, she keeps everyone happy and in order. She loves all her animals and enjoys talking to them on a daily basis.

Julie Hedlund
Julie Hedlund, Strategy Gal

She defines being over prepared! With so much talent, it's hard to know how to use it all. We are trying to see where her limits are with all the research, data and spreadsheets she runs. Golf is her and her family's passion. She's so good, grown men have cried on the course.

  • Favorite Cartoon Character: Bugs Bunny - I like his confidence and his wit, and the way he always outsmarts Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd.
  • Best Golfing Moment: When my son Connor got his first hole-in-one on #17 at Somerby Golf Club in Byron, MN.
  • Most Famous Person You Have Met: That would of course be a golfer. I met Craig Stadler and Fuzzy Zoehler once at a Senior Tour Event.

  • What do you do for fun? Love to be outdoors - everything from fishing, canoeing, camping, spending time at the family cabin and getting dirty in my garden.
  • What were you voted for in your high school year book? Most unique laugh AKA cackle!
  • What keeps you motivated? Music... it's a lifesaver! It keeps me moving and tells the stories of life much better than I ever could.
Molly Dixon
Molly Dixon, marketing gal

When there's a client in need of assistance, Molly will be there! Our newest MG has an eye (and blog) for fashion, a keen sense for deals, and her organizational skills are only rivaled by her awesomeness. She's deathly afraid of live fish, and has never eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

  • What's the worst fashion mistake you ever made? Wait. Are you serious?
  • Favorite Milwaukee spot? I love the Third Ward. So many great boutiques and restaurants and my hometown of Whitefish Bay!
  • Best Dance move? The throwbacks: the shopping cart, sprinkler, and the classic dice roll.

Westside, yo!

Skipp Boyenga | Web
Skipp Boyenga Web Guy

His websites are designed with such mastery, DaVinci would be jealous. He is still a kid at heart and finds time to ride his skateboard while managing and creating all the websites for clients. He can code a website quicker than a ninja, and his skills are unmatchable.

  • Favorite Superhero: I definitely watched me some Superfriends when I was younger (every Saturday I sat through about 40 minutes of the color bar/tone screen waiting for them to come on at 7am), but I really didn't have a favorite. I liked the idea of all of the superheroes under one roof though - weird to think that they would all just hang out at Justice League when there was nothing going on. Maybe they played cards or Atari or something.
  • Secret Talent: Key commands. Challenge me.
  • Favorite Quote: "I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” - McClosky

Whitney Bestor, Graphic Gal

Constantly evolving into the power behind the throne, she started here as the graphic designer. Now she dabbles in production, web, photography and creative writing. Kevin Bacon can't compete with her connections, and she is loved by them all.

  • The Perfect Cup of Coffee: Now it depends. At Starbucks, its before noon, a grande skinny vanilla latte with 4 shots of espresso. If its after noon, a venti mocha frappuccino with 4 shots of espresso, which subsequently makes more than what a venti cup can handle, so they usually give me a mini extra frappucino! Now if its Caribou, its a medium sugar-free caramel high-rise–any time of day! [NOTE: Those who bring me coffee, are extra loved by me!]
  • Best Mustang Model: One that's pretty and goes fast and lets me feel the wind in my hair.
    For example, a light blue convertible with black racing stripes. Oh wait...
  • Favorite City to Live In: Hands down, Florence, Italy–because where else can you walk by statues of
    "Italian Stallions" every day?!

Renae King, Graphics Gal
Renae King, graphics gal

Renae started at markit as the lowest on the totem pole, an intern, paid in Peanut Butter M&M’s. Her brilliant design talents and expertise in creating one of a kind brand identity, made our stash of chocolate run out rather quickly and we brought her on full-time. Renae knows it’s not just about looking pretty – it’s all in the message.

Hungry? Renae's always got a fistful of snacks stashed in her Mary Poppin’s purse.

  • How wide is your wingspan?: 6ft even (whitney and I measured it to be sure).
  • What makes a middle child so awesome? There's always someone else around to blame.
  • Where is your favorite getaway destination? Favorite getaway destination... Iowa. Kidding! California.
