Our Story

Where does Buzz Partners come from?

​

Rather than trying to define marketing, we looked for a simple way to describe the outcome of our partnership with companies. A strong marketing and communication strategy elevates a company’s reputation by using a variety of tools, channels, strategies, and ideas – and the outcome is a “buzz” with clients, employees, and the industry. 

​

“Creating buzz” means more people know and trust your company and you. And it’s even more effective when marketing partners with sales professionals to drive sales, improving the odds that prospects, investors, or potential employees will take a call or schedule a meeting.

​

While reflecting the company's collaborative approach, and the outcome clients can expect, the name is also memorable and easy to spell. Bonus points because "Buzz" is also Martha’s husband Brian's longtime nickname.

​

By partnering with Kristi, Martha has the collaborators that have always driven her career. Kristi brings both the financial acumen and operational experience to complement her marketing expertise. They both thrive on creating business development programs that truly drive business – from events and campaigns to finding the best real estate talent.

 

Justin and Laura joined Buzz Partners in June 2024 to expand the team's breadth and depth. Justin brings deep experience in digital design and marketing from nearly 20 years of agency and corporate experience. Laura comes to Buzz Partners with a strong track record of marketing campaigns, creative direction, and marketing planning.

 

Justin and Laura bring their unique backgrounds to complement Martha and Kristi and support the marketing strategies of Buzz Partners clients. The collaboration of the four partners elevates the "buzz" for each client, connecting innovative strategies that drive business results.
