Mary Smucker has been a search marketer since 2004, working both agency and client side. She started Simple Search in 2016 and is proud of her team and company’s dedication to client success and digital marketing excellence. Mary has always loved words and spent many of her grade school days at the library reading through almost the entire children’s section. Search marketing was a natural progression. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her family, including a dog, 2 cats and a crazy kitten.

Launching into her digital career in 2010 after a degree in Advertising from the University of Maine, Katie quickly fell in love with SEO and Local Search working at agencies in Portland, Maine. Opportunities called her to Boston where she continued to work at agencies as well as in house for the travel industry and non-profit sectors. She thrives on working collaboratively and digging deep into data sets to simplify storytelling and get to the nitty gritty “so what?”

She currently lives in Boston with her family, including a very fat cat named Squeaks and a rambunctious puppy named Tonks.

Jamie has over a dozen years of experience in the digital marketing realm with a particular knack for SEO and content creation.

That passion still persists today and she enjoys sharing that excitement with clients, helping them to understand best practices and strategies to improve their online visibility.
