An introduction
Marketing is
more than
messages.
It’s the experience on the other side of them. I’m Mark Tillman: a digital marketer and web designer who cares about both the big picture and the little things that make it feel right.
My work spans web design, SEO, PPC, and email marketing. I bring those skills together with visual identity and a practical understanding of traditional marketing—from event booths and brochures to the digital experience that keeps the conversation going.
I've led teams and marketing initiatives as a Digital Marketing Manager, Marketing Manager, and SEO Manager. At Adelante Healthcare, I managed a new website, department-wide digital planning, and monthly reporting. At Digital Air Strike, I helped build SEO, PPC, and web services—and worked on early interactive Amazon video advertising.
My earlier SEO leadership at Gannett included growing a team from three to 15 and the department from $96,000 to $4.2 million in annual revenue.

I'm also a creator beyond the marketing world: I made an underwater survival game called Jameson's Fish and wrote Perceptions, a mystery novel. Different formats, same curiosity about how people experience a story.
Campaigns & creative
Good design.
Digital is the focus—but great ideas travel beyond the screen, from original album artwork to real-world campaign design.
