MICHAEL ROY

Not all websites are created equal.

Most paint a pretty picture of your brand — but the best carry the inventive touch of a gifted web designer. A designer who understands that a website should not just be informational, it should be transformational. A web designer who knows that a well-designed and maintained website gives your company a distinctive digital presence that attracts a company’s target audience and connects with potential customers.

A web designer like Michael Roy.

With more than a decade of experience in providing web design services to Connecticut businesses, Michael's bag of digital tricks includes a cornucopia of web services, such as complete web design, development, hosting and SEO.

As our resident storyteller, Judie fearlessly wields a Mac keyboard to create masterful original content that communicates a brand’s unique vision and voice across all media — i.e., traditional and digital social channels, websites, printed pieces, elevator pitches and the like.

Okay, maybe not elevator pitches.

With enough marketing and public relations experience to fill 20 seasons of Law and Order reruns, Judie draws upon her 35-year background as a speechwriter, copywriter, and magazine, newsletter, website and fiction writer to create impactful communication strategies that help companies weave a rich and compelling message that articulates their brand and captures their target market’s imagination.

To succeed as a writer, one must write, says Judie. And write she does. That is, when she isn’t rifling through the desks of co-workers for a hit of anything chocolate.

HOWARD MEYEROWITZ

Our Chief Happiness Officer directs visitors, answer phones, sorts incoming mail, prepares outgoing mail, stocks office supplies, photocopies and faxes, listens to complaints, bakes sinful treats…and you don’t have to wait till he takes a day off to take a handful of hard candies out of the front desk candy jar. As we like to say here at 2020 Media: Keep calm and let Howard handle it.

TIM KNECHT

To some, the work of a copyeditor may seem tedious ––reading, reading and more reading; correcting the minutiae of commas, periods and quotation marks. But not to Tim. A vigilant proofreader, Tim dissects the details of every page, not only dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, but also examining grammar, putting punctuation in its place, double checking numbers and dates. You get the picture.
