“It’s important to me that we continue to deliver exceptional intelligent inbound marketing services and partner in our clients’ success,” Spencer said. “As a former two-time client of SmartBug and then as an executive-level leader within the organization, I understand the intricacies and challenges that we face day to day as a very successful, high-growth agency. My goal is for SmartBug to continue to innovate and lead by example so that we remain attractive to top talent and continue to exceed expectations as an industry trailblazer.”
