About

Ted planted the seeds of Scout Digital from his college dorm room when he created Middkid.com, a more fun alternative to Middlebury College’s official website. Over twenty years later, he still relishes the creativity and entrepreneurship that comes with building websites and digital marketing. He’s also the President of Union Street Media, an agency that develops custom digital marketing and website solutions for real estate.

Jason is our VP of Accounts who embodies our shared ethos of “continuous transformation” and “knowing your numbers” because once you do, you can drive more sales. Jason is responsible for building and managing our team of Account Managers that deploy cutting-edge strategies to attract, acquire, and keep customers for less money.

Jason’s career was unlike a lot of marketers where he had the advantage of being in sales, running a business, and knowing what it was like to lose money on failed campaigns. His empathy translated into online marketing, flawlessly, where landing pages, paid media, and marketing funnels became his new digital cold calling.

When Jason isn’t at work, which is funny enough as his hobbies are blogging and selling stuff on the internet he is just like most employees spending time with his wife, daughter, and their little dog, Stella!
