Co-Founder of LovelyPixels, Trent is generally known as the “big brain” around the office.

His never-ending understanding of data and big-picture strategy started at an early age, where he gained an interest in technology (by playing hours of Number Munchers and The Oregon Trail) and trying to suss out what makes people tick. 

Having been a part of LovelyPixels since 2008, Trent’s role has evolved over the years. Beginning as the programmer and coder for a majority of the web design and animation projects that came in the door – to more advanced marketing infrastructure buildouts that spanned Google Ads, SEO, CRM setups, deep dives into markets, customer lifecycles, and more. Prior to joining LovelyPixels full time, Trent served as Director of Marketing for ThompsonGas, managing a marketing team and overseeing 20+ brands across 28 states.

Trent’s never been accused of being a dunce.

Tapping into his natural curiosity and making sure it is fed properly, Trent has directed and collaborated with teams that tackle design and marketing challenges of just about every size. His primary duties at LovelyPixels boil down to helping the team be more pragmatic in their approach to launching new products, creating holistic marketing roadmaps and interpreting client data. His ability to think critically about each business, treating their marketing like a puzzle that needs to be solved – makes a world of difference for our clients.

On the personal side of life, Trent is married (to Jessi) and loves to spend his weekends on outdoor adventures with his boys. He finds working on outdoor projects in the forest and chopping wood incredibly cathartic. 

The future of marketing isn’t big data. It’s big understanding.

Brands Trent's Worked With

LovelyPixels focuses on small business, but our team has national brand experience

CORE PRINCIPLES

  • Visual Audits

    Feel like your brand presence is hyper-disconnected? Maybe you're constantly throwing stuff together to post online, your website is just a hodge-podge of outdated information and no one seems to be able to really figure out where to start?

    Jessi and her team love diving into a business and really looking at the holistic problems that affect how your marketing sounds, looks and feels. All of which impact your bottom line and ability to do lead generation.

  • Web Design

    Focusing on creating websites that go beyond #PixelPerfect, Jessi hones in on developing products that promote your brand and help convert more visitors to customers.

    And not only do the websites built here look great, but they are molded to solve some of your unique strategic challenges and marketing needs. Blending beauty and brains, our website packages include content strategy workshops, marketing infrastructure and ideal customer journey mapping.

  • Marketing Infrastructure

    As your business grows, so does your marketing strategy. Along with Summer and Amber, Jessi helps align aspects of your operation, digital assets and staff to thread together a holistic marketing map.

  • Local SEO

    Search Engine Optimization is the art of aligning your brand and website as the best possible authority on a subject. Whatever your trade or business is, SEO will help you build reputation and generate new business when done intentionally.

What are three things left on your bucket list?

just for fun.

  • To horseback ride through the grand canyon.

    Like, a true cowboy experience,. Multiple days, no showers, surviving on just bags of beef jerky.

  • Do a cross-country RV trip through the US with my family.

    Bonus points if it’s in a tricked-out bus that we rehabbed ourselves!

  • Turn our 9 acres of woods into a big ole family playground.

    Complete with a gold mine, zip-line attraction, an old town main street.... Ya know, just the normal stuff.
