If you’re looking for a marketing experience that’s almost completely hands-off, Just Digital is place to do it. After some initial setup, my personalized team managed everything from website building, social media for my business, email marketing campaigns, monthly blog posts, and continuous SEO improvements. All I have to do is sit back and make sure the marketing continues to go in directions I approve. The time of a business owner is precious and Just Digital gives me all the benefits of marketing with minimal demands on my own time in a simple and efficient manner.

My business, Andrin Tax Relief, is less than a year new to the field of tax resolution. However, with Just Digital’s help I’ve moved on from only acquiring clients through mailing campaigns and I’m now having new clients call in from my website. Definitely could not have done that on my own. Highly recommend their service. Ask for Ashley 100%. Thank you Just Digital!

Melanie holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Western Washington University as well as an MBA from Western Governors University. When she’s not rocking her role at Indigo, she enjoys cooking (trying out new recipes every week), painting, and discovering new restaurants with friends. She and her husband, Dat, love to travel and go on walks with their dog, Brutus, a pomeranian-chihuahua whose personality is definitely not proportionate to his small size!

A born strategist, Jordan always starts with “why” when brainstorming marketing tactics with her financial advisor clients. With recommendations rooted in data and industry best practices, she loves growing advisors’ awareness of their strategies’ positive impact on their business.

Jordan obtained her bachelor’s degree in business administration (with an emphasis in marketing and management) and her master’s in communication and media management from Colorado State University. Before joining Indigo, Jordan already had 6+ years of financial services experience and 8+ years of marketing/project and campaign management experience under her belt—making her a powerhouse addition to the team! Outside of strategizing for her advisors, Jordan’s hobbies include pottery, hiking (when she’s in shape), and ordering delivery or takeout. She is happily married to her husband, Max, and a dedicated dog mom to her oversized golden retriever, Kai.
