Steve Gasser, President
I am always looking for ways to inspire new ideas with others so that we can continue to help others achieve their business dreams. Even after 17 years in business, I continue to be as passionate about inspiring possibilities for those around me as the day Vivid Image first opened its doors. As President of Vivid Image and a certified Social Media Consultant, I can often be found strategizing with business colleagues, experimenting with new technologies, or assisting our team with initiatives that will have a profound impact on how we will provide value to our clients and community.

Beth Gasser, Owner and Vice President
Anyone who has worked with me knows I am all about producing results and getting things done very quickly.

I love being the Vivid Image representative who is active in the Mom Blogger community, connecting, blogging, and putting into practice all the social networking tasks that I advise others to do.

Developing an Online Presence From the Ground Up.
Creating an online presence can be a groundbreaking task. Often, unsure of where to start, and already wearing various hats, businesses are looking for a reliable web foreman.

Ryan Villnow, Creative Director
Your website is one of the most important tools your business has. It not only represents who you are and what you do, but also helps shape an identity and reputation that your visitors will connect with. It’s my job to make sure that your visual brand, whether in print or online, captures who you are and inspires your visitors to become involved. We’ll work together to develop graphical interfaces and designs that are clean, professional, modern and easy to use.
Karlie Mosher, Graphic Designer/Photographer
Having an online presence is pretty important in this day and age. Having a solid online presence that expresses your company, identity, and mission is even more important. In today’s world with so many companies and products, it can be hard to get yourself noticed. As a graphic designer it is my job to help better your company and attract customers via web and print design, whether that is by website or by brochure. I want to help you make your company a successful and a visually attractive one. I don’t think there is any company that is too small to have a great designed identity and website.
Jackie Kaufenberg, Social Media Marketing Manager
Social media has changed how people are doing business. Marketing is no longer a one-way conversation. The beauty of social media marketing is how it lets people engage with brands, and then share their passion for the brand with others online. I can help your company determine the best strategy for social media, from researching what your competitors are doing, to developing goals and strategies, and creating content that aligns with your brand messaging. From there, we will determine how to measure the success of your social media goals, and how to continue to engage with your customers online to reach your company’s core goals. More about Jackie
Deanna Schwint, Programmer
The possibilities are endless with online applications but without taking the time to define requirements and take small steps, the goals of an online application may not be achieved. I spend my time learning the in’s and out’s of how businesses work in order to move these processes online. This can range from a simple contact form to a complex ordering system. Either one produces results that make a difference for businesses and that is what makes my position rewarding.
Mat Lipe, Director of Technology
I love using technology to make complex issues simple. Whether I’m optimizing our internal network or working with our external providers for optimum results, I’m always looking for ways to take advantage of technology on behalf of our clients. I’m a stickler for data integrity and security, and have no problem answering technical questions from vendors and clients. I love when everything goes smoothly, but I’m not afraid of a good challenge. IT is in my blood.
Eric Wegschied, Programmer
I’ve always been compelled by creativity and originality and I believe the Internet provides us with the perfect opportunity to take those attributes and really have an impact with our audiences. When I first started writing programs and creating my own websites, I realized that the possibilities for discovering new ways to display one’s ideas, communicate with others, and interact with information were virtually limitless and I’ve been excited about it ever since. In my world a website is not just a place to find information, but a gateway to experience what we have to share with each other.
