Who Are We?
Boil a company down and isn’t it nothing more than a group of people? That is exactly who Maple North is – a group of wicked cool people who are dang good at what they do. Here is a little more about our team!
Adam Green – President
Adam’s start in the world of internet marketing is a funny story. As a favor to a friend who was working a recruiting contract, he went for an interview for a Google Pay-Per-Click manager. Not knowing a thing about Google PPC, Adam attended the interview as a favor and found himself interested in what this relatively new area of marketing had to offer. When Adam returned home, he found the Google certification training materials online, wrote the test and passed. Two days later, in a follow-up interview, Adam was hired.
After working at two agencies, Adam started Maple North as a full service internet marketing agency. Since its inception, Maple North has had the pleasure of working with some amazing clients in industries ranging from food services, to class action lawyers to inventory management systems.
Adam’s expertise includes:
- PPC Management
- Search Engine Optimization
- Google Analytics Implementation
- Web Testing and Conversion Optimization
John Rampton – Internet Marketing Specialist
John’s background includes some incredible affiliate marketing successes as well as experience in Google PPC management, search engine optimization, blogging, and social media management.
John is a passionate business man who got his start young. He opened his first business at the the age of 10 where he sold candy from his front yard. He grew his “candy stand” business to 3 locations, expanding to have his friends manage his growing candy empire. Over the next four years, John managed to raise enough money to pay for his 4 years of college. John’s management experience helped one online company grow from a small 5 person staff to a small army of 150 in only 3 short years. This was one of the main reasons this company earned a top spot on the INC 500 list.
John has a bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Utah. John enjoys buying and selling websites online, frisbee, watching movies, and a variety of other things. Some of John’s personal projects that he’s working on are PPC.org, Blogging.org, Pixloo, and CouponSlap.
