Bio
Susan Sherman
Cam has become an invaluable part of my extended sales team. He seeks first to understand our route to market and potential obstacles to success. He is always cognizant of the strict guidelines during an RFP process and never acts in a way that could jeopardize our being awarded a contract. He has mastered the art of navigating legislative, political, and regulatory issues to help us better understand the intricacies of working with government entities. He is highly communicative and there’s never any doubt he is acting on our behalf. What makes Cam extraordinary is his integrity. He would never violate a trust. He is highly respected and there’s never any doubt as to the validity of his information and guidance.

Cam volunteered for the National Parents Organization on getting a law passed that presumes equal time with both parents is in a child's best interest if the parents are healthy. His communication ability showed when Senate Bill 463 passed both chambers with overwhelming majorities. Further, Governor Justice signed the bill too. Cam demonstrated the ability to work with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle while doing so as a volunteer. I had the pleasure of seeing Cam's work first hand in 2021. He coordinated my testimony on child custody legislation at a House committee meeting. I personally witnessed his comfortable style leading to personal relationships with many lawmakers. Cam was so effective and professional that the National Parents Organization asked him to help advise volunteers in other states. Cam is as effective a volunteer lobbyist as I've seen in all the states in which I've worked.

We think it’s time to make internet marketing more stable and predictable when it comes to your return on investment. But effective internet marketing (ppc, seo, web design, content marketing) requires a disciplined approach if you want to realize maximum results. Our expertise: We're an SEO company: Like everything in the digital world, SEO is in a constant state of change. Our goal is to stay one step ahead of the current universal understanding of SEO best practices. This means we do our best to understand what the search engines are working towards so we can build an SEO foundation that aligns with both current and future SEO best-practices; ensuring the continuity of results for our clients. We're a PPC company: Adept can handle virtually any pay-per-click advertising medium, from search engines to social networks and even mobile. Our mission is to generate as many new leads as possible while maintaining quality leads. We're a Web Design company: Marketers first, we approach web design differently. We aren’t into creating fancy websites for the sake of being fancy and showing off our skills. That’s a showroom tactic that doesn’t work very well in the real world. It takes a spunky, savvy, inspired group to pull our design philosophy off. We're a Content Marketing company: We are here to ensure that your voice gets the platform it deserves because your voice is the answer to your consumers passions and problems. www.marketingadept.com What We Do Video
