Marshelle Backes
Barbara Bennett Parsons
Dear, dear Marshelle,
If not for having your expertise and professionalism, I would have had to pull out of the show when I got my cancer diagnosis. Many wonderful people have stepped up to contribute the time and skills to make this all come together. I, and my father, are very much blessed.
You have such a joy to work with, and I look forward to getting to know you better.
My deep and sincere thanks.
Tiffany Casimere Harris, Owner of Business Solutions
Marshelle Backes is a total package and her business acumen is off the charts. I had the pleasure of working directly with Marshelle on several projects and I was blown away by her ability to see and communicate the big picture in laymen terms. She is a guru when it comes to web and marketing design.
Bryce Peacher, Freelance Creative Designer
I had the pleasure of working with Marshelle for [her first] two years at HM.CLAUSE, where she was brought on, initially, to manage the global deployment of a new corporate website. In short, it couldn’t have been a better decision to bring her on board. She managed to do in a few short months what had been taking us years, embracing the challenge of creating and deploying regionalized websites that were translated into local languages. In the year between the website launch and her joining the company, we had managed to launch 2 regional websites in 2 languages. In the months following her arrival, she deployed 35 regional websites in 10 languages, and created a network of contacts and content providers in each of those regions to make sure that local customers were getting local information relevant to them. Not content with resting on her accomplishments, she then pioneered and developed a digital marketing program at a company that was typically content with word-of-mouth promotion and in-person sales, revolutionizing the company’s sales channels and bringing them into the 21st century.
Marshelle is not just an incredibly qualified and dedicated web developer and digital marketer, she also has the vision to drive change, creativity to find new ways to approach communications activities, and leadership to bring out the best in the teams with which she works or manages. I have no hesitation, whatsoever, in recommending Marshelle. She will be a vital part of any company’s success.
Kate Conely, University of Oregon
In addition to her strong web development and design skills, Marshelle brings a tremendous amount of integrity to the table. She cares not just about getting a job done but about getting it done well. She is invested in meeting clients' needs and creating sustainable systems. Her willingness to educate non-technical people and her clever sense of humor are also valuable assets to any deadline-driven project. I would gladly work with her again.
Nathan Gustafson, Founder of GiveMore
Working with Marshelle is always a joy. She is smart, works hard, actively pursues professional development, and is someone I could always count on. I would gladly work with her in the future!
Noah Britton, Website agency owner & course creator at Thrive
Marshelle is a pleasure to work with. I worked with Marshelle on a daily basis working on projects for her company, ISTE. Marshelle handles the project management for development projects we work on and tests the applications, reviews specs, provides feedback, and suggests improvements in functionality and usability of applications we develop. Marshelle is very knowledgeable on web usability and is a driving force in our projects.

Rodger O'Connor, Associate Director for Marketing & Communications
He [Scott] is a strong writer; a truly gifted video editor; and brings outstanding attention to detail and organizational skills to the table; not to mention a positive can-do attitude no matter what the situation.

Scott is an energetic guy with a strong creative flair. I've seen his work as a producer and an editor; solid concepts and strikingly creative execution. Scott is well-liked by his colleagues and is strong marketer.
Carissa Etters, Director of Executive and Enterprise Communications at VCU Health
Scott is a very creative person with a lot of great ideas. As a manager he was always very approachable and open to new ideas. Scott not only managed his marketing team to create visually pleasing projects, but he often did the work himself.
Leslie Martin, Senior Producer at KATU TV
I've had the privilege of working with Scott both at KATU and at KOIN. He is hard-working, creative, conscientious and courteous-- all great attributes when a job requires you to work quickly, under a tight deadline while juggling multiple projects and priorities!
Gene Greer, Writing and Editing Consultant and Professional
Scott is sharp, professional and thorough. It was a pleasure working with him. I could always depend on him to do the job well, on schedule and on budget.
Marc Morriston, Director of Marketing & Creative Services at Nexstar Media Group, Inc.
I had the pleasure of working with Scott for roughly 3 years during which time I found him to be a tremendous talent, ally and teacher.
Scott is a hard worker, dedicated to doing an excellent job but what sets Scott apart from many others with similar traits is his true passion and desire to make the best possible product.
Anytime I had questions or needed advice I found Scott to be a valuable resource. More than one project I worked on became better with his feedback and input.
Outside of being a tremendous worker and talent, Scott is a tremendous human being always willing to help and go the extra mile for a friend, co-worker or business colleague.
I would find it a pleasure to be able to work with Scott again if the opportunity arose.
