What does that mean to you?

Our passion for storytelling is what drives the branding and marketing campaigns that we create, because a great story is at the heart of all great marketing strategies. There’s a special kind of energy and passion that goes into running a restaurant or food related industry, and we just love working with people who embody that energy.

Our home is in Atlanta, GA, but we have worked with a wide variety of clients across the country, ranging from start up ventures to Fortune 500 companies. We’re ready to work with you to tell the story of your brand and business.

Learn more about us below, and send us an email or give us a call when you are ready to start on your next project. We can’t wait to hear about it!

Born into a restaurant family, the love for small businesses and entrepreneurship was instilled in Melissa at an early age.Fueled by her design education, Melissa now combines her love of storytelling with her marketing experience to create branding strategies for small businesses and nonprofit organizations.

When Melissa isn’t shooting away behind a camera or designing away behind a computer, you can find her writing up a storm at her food blog, Dash of East or daydreaming about her next scuba diving trip.

Paul is a native (upstate) New Yorker, and proud graduate of Auburn University.While he’s not at his 9 to 5 job analyzing corporate finances, Paul stays busy by helping to keep dotdot interactive running smoothly, both as head of finances and (thanks to his logical mind) lead developer.

Still, when not doing any of the above, Paul is most likely playing ultimate frisbee, cheering on his beloved Auburn Tigers football team or training for his next marathon.
