Every business is unique. And each one has a story to tell. Here’s ours:
Savy Agency’s two founders, Rob and Christina Brown, bring together two diverse backgrounds at the pinnacle of their disciplines. One strategic, the other creative — yet meeting smack dab in the middle — the two create a unique blend of details thinking and big thinking that sets them apart. They’re integrated. And so is Savy. It only made sense they would bring their experience to bear in 07 with Savy Agency.
Rob Brown | Agency Director
Rob happily wears the team leader hat, striving everyday to create a positive experience internally and with every client relationship Savy obtains.
His rubber-meets-the-road approach to marketing results in happy, long term clients, and is certainly one of the reasons that 65% of Savy’s business is generated from past clients and referrals each year.
Christina Brown | Creative Director
With degrees in marketing, business management and technical writing, Christina spent 16 years in traditional marketing and advertising and a few stints across the globe with a marketing consultancy prior to founding Savy. It was from her experience helping people solve unique marketing challenges across industries and mediums when she realized there was a need for an integrated approach to the traditional world with an agency that provided all the elements of a unified brand — under one roof.
In addition to overseeing the agency’s creative, Christina serves as Savy’s social media subject matter expert, writing for several blogs and online publications about how brands can effectively use social media to connect with their audiences.
Devon Pfeiffer | Project Manager, Photographer
Devon is Savy’s Project Manager and inhouse photographer. Devon brings to the table vast industry experience managing both the client and agency side of projects.
Just prior to joining Savy, Devon could be found at Citrus, where she provided direction over projects ranging from email and mobile marketing to print, broadcast and outdoor advertising, branding and positioning, website design, direct mail, point of purchase, social media, guerilla marketing, and video production.
Devon received her Bachelors in Art from Boise State University with a photography emphasis, and spent the last thirteen years building her outstanding photography portfolio. In her free time, Devon can be found in the mountains biking or snowboarding, or remodeling her 1960′s ranch style home.
Luisa Benevento | Lead Designer
Luisa is a master at her trade. Her design skills minted with her native Brazilian flair and a passion for all things design make her a pioneer of her industry. Luisa attended the Federal University, Rio de Janeiro state (Niteroi, RJ – Brazil) where she studied 5 years of advertising, marketing and graphic design. Luisa’s pallet of expertise includes print media, branding, advertising and web design, and fluency in Corel, Expression Web, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and In Design. Luisa sits with our clients and truly “gets” what they’re going for, what the essence of the brand is and what makes them stand out. Luisa’s touch is on most of the creative that walks out of Savy’s door, and together as a team, we make sure it struts well.
Shelly Garroutte | Business Development
A Virginia, Minnesota native, Shelly has over 15 years experience in sales and business development. Previously in title and escrow, financial services and insurance industries, Shelly brings to the Savy team a sound knowledge of business practices and systems. Her strength and expertise, however, lies in her ability to build the relationships that help our clients take their business to the next level. Her laser focus, down to earth attitude and client-centered approach ensures that clients are heard, our approach works –
and that everyone wins.
When she’s not at Savy, Shelly is probably golfing, hiking, skiing, or anything that involves getting out and exploring Central Oregon.
Web Development Team
We affectionately refer to our web development team as ninjas. They can do anything, anytime, at rapid speed. Their strategic approach to design combined with diligence and an ability to build web standards compliant, clean, flexible code that the search engines thank them for, make each of them an invaluable asset to each web platform we build.
