Bio
Marshall Johnson
I worked with Cass for almost 2 years at Hivewyre and he is hands down one of the most knowledgeable and intelligent individuals I've met when it comes to all things digital media. Cass is an incredible teacher and his communication methods foster an environment for learning and growth for those that work directly with him. I've personally learned a great deal about display marketing from Cass, specifically best practices to leverage inside of programmatic media buys. Cass is extremely detail-oriented and really knows the ins-and-outs of campaign strategy and projections. He ran over 40 different campaigns for me and was instrumental in many retention calls and optimization strategies geared toward client KPI's and ROAS goals. I fully recommend Cass for any position related to digital media/marketing and would jump at the next opportunity to partner with him again.

Cass is the type of person that makes an entire office better off just for being part of it. Ask anyone who's ever worked with him and I guarantee they will begin their first words with a smile across their face. Cass has the kind of demeanor that is not led by ego, but rather delves for ways to make your day (and your life) better, whatever that may mean for you. His work reflects that positivity and he brings an added dimension of an entrepreneurial spirit that is always looking for new and innovative ways to make an impact. I'd recommend Cass to any team looking for fresh ideas and a fun-loving attitude that is absolutely infectious.
