Meet the Team, Aaron Simmons, Marketing Ideas For Printers

“Success is found in those moments where you are being the best possible version of you – followed by having more and more of those moments.” ~Aaron Simmons We’re blessed to have Aaron as part of the Marketing Ideas For Printers’ team. His philosophical, reserved, and conscientious nature means he’s in the perfect position to ask some of those hard questions when it comes to developing software. As a Use Case Writer, Aaron is in charge of determining what software does, why it does it, and how it does it. When you combine the information Aaron gleans with his ability as a developer, well, you understand why we said we’re blessed to have him. Then and Now Aaron began his career at Marketing Ideas For Printers in the customer service department, but quickly learned he had a knack for writing code and creating routines and processes that just worked. I had very basic web development skills, but had an opportunity to learn through fulfilling periodic requests from customers for customized code. So, little by little, I’ve learned quite a bit of coding over the years! When I was building uDesignIT! templates for customers, I developed a methodology that allowed me

Here at Marketing Ideas For Printers, we value marketing content. Because we value content so highly, we value the people that create and manage that content. That means we value Rachel a lot! Now it’s time for you to meet Rachel, the Marketing Director here at Marketing Ideas For Printers, and find out why she’s such an important part of our team.

My first connection with Marketing Ideas For Printers began in the late 80s when my mom worked for Mike Stevens (the founder of Marketing Ideas For Printers) at Express Press as a typesetter. In the late 90s, I, too, went to work for Mike and Dave Hultin at Express Press, both in the high-speed copy department and then as a project manager.

Kim is one of the graphic designers here at Marketing Ideas For Printers. Her creative eye for design and artistic talents have been instrumental in our direct mail content for the past two decades. A Unique History Kim first learned about what would someday become Marketing Ideas For Printers when she attended some of the Express Press Walk of Fame events in downtown Fargo throughout the 80s and 90s. The Walk of Fame was a concrete walkway outside of Mike Stevens’ Express Press print shop where celebrities would press their hands and feet in the wet cement and greet fans when they were in the area. Seeing Stevie Ray Vaughan at the Fargo Walk of Fame in 1990 was something I’ll never forget. I went to work for Mike Stevens at Ink Inc. in 1997, and Marketing Ideas For Printers evolved some time after. A Worthy Craft Currently, Kim uses her talents on the direct mail packages, the custom design projects that come in, and our own in-house marketing. She is also playing a role in the built-in marketing that Odyssey, our new Print MIS, will offer. I see printing as a craft or art form capable of stirring emotion and
