Comprehensive Media Marketing Services by Brain Jar
Web Development
If you don’t have a website, we can help you build one from scratch. If you already have one that needs fixing, we still got you. We know the language to develop websites that attract, engage and convert. We specialize in several technologies, including LAMP stack systems, including WordPress and Drupal, and MERN stack technologies, including React.js. Others include .NET and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM).
Social Media Management
When your brand shows up on social media, you’ve pulled a seat up to the table. Social media is where your clients learn, talk and have fun! So if you want to stay top of mind, you need to be where they are. Brain Jar knows how to get your brand into their conversation.
Photo/Video Production
There’s no better way to tell your brand’s story than through video, and Brain Jar will make that happen. We create social media posts, promotional videos, vlog content and even some commercials for TV (so you’ve most likely seen our work!) Our team of professionals have decades of experience in Hollywood film production, and we bring that to your project.
Ad Campaigns
Google and social media ads can be overwhelming, and it’s so easy to take a wrong step and waste money. Brain Jar knows these ads inside and out and knows how to maximize your return, so not a single penny of your budget is wasted. We’re so confident in our abilities that we guarantee that we’ll double the money you invest in your campaign, or you don’t pay!
Old-School Cold Outreach
Cold calls and cold emails are the friendly handshakes of the business world. They let you reach out to potential customers you might never bump into otherwise. And Brain Jar is great at it! We guarantee that we’ll book 20 meetings with qualified prospects, or you don’t pay!
Research & Analysis
Brain Jar conducts a variety of research and produces reports that are clear, easy to look at and even enjoyable to read! The studies we can do include:
• Website/web app usability studies
• Focus groups
• Web traffic/ad campaign analysis
• Marketing strategy review
Process
Define
Our team will first understand what your needs are and ensure that we understand your brand
Design
Our designers will create a plan. For websites, this is wireframes and mockups. For social media, this is a content calendar. For video, a storyboard. For ad campaigns, it’s a project board.
Refine
We want to make sure the plans is just right, so we’ll hold two sessions to review every piece of planning material and get your approval before putting the plan into action.
Build! Record! Launch!
With plans approved, our web developers will build your website, our director and crew will film your video, our ad specialist will launch your campaign, our social media expert will start posting. All you have to do is nothing!

TEAM
Dr. Rhiannon Little-Surowski

Rhiannon’s the brains of the operation. She does everything research related. When she’s not analyzing web traffic or accessibility audit results, she’s conducting usability studies and focus groups. She has a doctorate degree, she’s a data junky, and she’s an expert at getting results. You can reach her at rhiannon@brainjar.net.
Peter Surowski
CTO
Peter is the muscle behind Brain Jar. He’s been in web production for more than 20 years and has worked for AOL, WordPress and some other great companies. So there’s a good chance you’ve visited a website he’s helped build or manage. He has a master’s degree in Communications and a black belt in PHP from the School of Hard Knocks. You can reach him at peter@brainjar.net.
Liz Dieterich
Web Developer
Liz excels at both front end and back end development, but most of her time is spent on the backend detangling piles of server-side logic. You can reach her at liz@brainjar.net.
Rachel Solov
Web Designer / Developer
Rachel is Brain Jar’s head developer and project manager. A true React fanatic, she manages projects from concept to launch with a keen eye for detail and efficiency.

Justin Witmer
Director of Visuals
Justin is the man behind the camera. He does all the photography and videography for Brain Jar. He’s been working in the film industry for 20 years and has produced visuals for many of Brain Jar’s biggest clients. You’ve almost certainly seen his work on TV without even knowing it.
