Bio
Anthony De Marco
After several years working with Kyle Russell as my client, I invited him on board with the Boston Web Group because of his casual inquiry into my business, it occurred to me that Kyle is business savvy, has many years' experience, and we shared a sense that he could contribute importantly to the development of the company. In many ways he has, and I continue to look forward to his role in the ongoing development of an exciting and fast growing business. Kyle thinks of the big picture - he looks at all aspects of the venture - and makes cogent recommendations about what needs help and what directions would be most productive. Importantly, Kyle is a very great communicator - staying in touch - and building the all important client relationship, which is really important to me. Last, but not least, Kyle's attention to detail means that we won't miss any details. I'm happy to have Kyle Russell on the team at BWG, and would recommend him most highly to anyone seeking to take their business to that "next" level.

I have known Kyle since the mid 1990's as I used to follow his band "Dub Station" from weekly gigs at Bill's Bar in Boston to large venues such as the Vermont Reggae Fest. Kyle's enthusiasm and professionalism are the same whether he's working with some of the largest names in the reggae industry or working with new up and comers. A top notch act all around!

My current work with BWG is a rebirth of work begun over a decade ago, as Anthony DeMarco was first building his web based enterprise. This incarnation of our collaboration expands my role (Kyle Russell) beyond Account Manager to be included in the highest level business development and management decision-making, client service, and organizational directives.

Feb 2011 - Feb 2013
My connection with the Boston Web Group began in 2007, through principal Anthony DeMarco, with whom I worked on Graphic & Web Design projects for my KRucial Reggae (and then KRucial Arts) projects. We worked very closely during the period indicated, on developing the business to the point where it was ready to bring in multiple support staff, and expand into its new offices in Boston proper. My specialty was in client relations - helping them shape their vision into what I could pass along as a work order - I very much enjoyed my project management duties. Show less

Not beholden to any one singer, but serving several hundred Artists over the years, Dub Station is a perennial brand, having won the Boston Music Award for Outstanding Reggae Act (and several other accolades). The group has backed, opened for, or toured with a key segment of the greatest artists in the industry.

Director of Marketing and Sales

May 2010 - Dec 2013
Although we had a good run and excellent working relationship, the challenges of securing online advertising made my ongoing role as Director of Marketing & Sales unproductive. While there, on the team, CEO Raoul Krakowski and I worked on a number of projects, including the launch of BigUp's new web site, coordination of advertising outreach, and the building of relationships with DJ's and our Social Media audience. . I continue believe that BigUp Radio offers unique and outstanding access to an avid listeners' market, and that Advertisers, Sponsors, and Collaborators have MANY ways to plug into the opportunity that this powerful brand represents.
