MEET THE TEAM

“Do what you love, so you love what you do.”
Our team is a team of specialists, not “jacks-of-all-trades”.  And we love to be challenged.  That doesn’t happen very often…because we are very good at what we do.

ABOUT MTB STRATEGIES

Our team brings together almost 60 years of aggregate experience in the digital marketing space.  To create an online presence that produces real change for our clients requires us to wear many different hats, and be very good at a wide variety of skills.  Everything from crisp content, to eye-catching graphics, from research to ranking tactics, from complex project management to the final punchlist, from complex technical analysis to color palettes, we have to good at all of it. And then we have to collaborate carefully and consistently and keep our projects moving nicely along their critical paths.

Our team is the most important component of our company infrastructure.  Without a team working smoothly together, solving problems together, and learning new ways to work together as we acquire new skills, it doesn’t matter how how great our custom software is, or how powerful our online resources are.  Stated another way: it doesn’t matter how sleek and fast our starship is if the crew on the bridge doesn’t know how to safely get us across the galaxy at warp speed.  (yeah, we like Star Trek).

Peter

CEO and Founder

Peter has been in the digital marketing space for 22 years, having spent all of the 90’s as an IT consultant to businesses all over New York City.  He ran music production / sound design house and composed, performed and produced music that ran on major cable stations all over the world, and for four years was also a digital marketing consultant to attorneys worldwide, as well as running a successful e-commerce site.   He founded MTB Strategies when he realized that most businesses are not actually generating leads from their web presence. He wanted to create a company that could help small businesses take advantage of all the business-growth potential that the web provides, including organic and paid traffic strategies.

Eileen Costello

Eileen

Chief Operating Officer

Eileen is constantly on the move juggling dozens of things at a time without letting a single ball drop, for the most part. She began her career in software development almost 2 decades ago focusing on design, development, and project management. She finds herself drawn to the fast pace changes of the IT and digital marketing industry and thrives on the challenge of learning something new each day. Given her level of comfort in chaos it’s no surprise she has 4 young kids who also do their best to keep her on her toes. She also enjoys running, teaching yoga, vegetarian cooking, and an occasional crossword puzzle.

Project Manager / Web Developer

Anne

Sales executive

Meet Annie, the sales superstar! People who know her well call her Annie, and boy, does she know her way around sales! Her superpower? Building relationships that stick tighter than glue. Seriously, finding a client who isn’t her pal is like looking for a needle in a haystack – it just doesn’t happen! Trust? Oh, she’s got that in spades. Clients quickly realize she’s their ace in the hole when it comes to representing their interests.

Responsiveness? Annie’s got those dialed up to eleven. You’ll never find yourself anxiously waiting for her call back – it’s practically guaranteed! And get this, she’s a fitness enthusiast who walks like it’s going out of style. Her love for family and music is off the charts, and here’s the kicker: she’s a secret poet! Shh, don’t tell anyone; she’ll deny it faster than you can say “sales extraordinaire.”

Lea

Ranking Specialist

Lea thinks of herself as an introvert but not everyone agrees. She doesn’t want to be in the spotlight but most of the time you can see her leading and in front of the crowd. She loves chocolates so much that she can’t go through the day without a big piece. At MTB her role is crucial, since she is a key player in our ranking activities. Her job is to help keep us one step ahead of the competition by employing cutting edge (but very proprietary) ranking strategies. And when she is not executing proven strategies, she is testing new ones to keep us the best at what we do. Lea could tell you all about our secret tactics, but she won’t.

Yana Bagui

Quality Control Manager / Web Development Assistant

Yana is the team’s QC extraordinaire! Between organizing reports and aiding the web development group, she provides the all-around support needed to keep everyone on track. Yana has been working in the digital marketing field for over five years and she’s always striving to give her 100% to any work she does (send her scraps of paper and it’ll come back color-coded, stapled, and arranged by size). Her goal  is to help bring MTB’s objectives to fruition if not to the next level! When things are slow, she likes to spend time with her army of cats at home or go on long adventures with a good book.

Mia

Project Manager /
Web Developer

Mia is an avid learner – she loves researching, being creative, and trying out new things. She has worn many hats: project manager, web designer and developer, SEO, among many other things, and has also written reams of content for blogs and websites. After running her own online shop during her college days, she realized the potential in the digital marketing world. Mia worked very hard, devoured many courses, and honed her skills. Now, she is MTB’s main web developer and project manager.  She’s the one who has to manage all of the high speed traffic going in every direction for all of our clients at MTB – a challenge that she relishes and handles without breaking a sweat. In her free time, Mia enjoys doing CrossFit, taking even more courses (!), collecting stationery, and browsing the internet for creative inspiration, which she seems to find on a daily basis.
