Believe it or not, the seed for OddVARK was planted in a dating app.
It began with a meeting for coffee.
Coffee lead to lunch, lunch lead to us talking about our journalism backgrounds. We even worked at separate newspapers within the same company at one point and didn't even know it.
After leaving newspapers we both started our own small businesses in the marketing world. Vicki started Buckshot Media and Mark started Mark Leffingwell Photography. Being a writer, Vicki focused on copywriting, developing branding stories and growing social media engagement for her clients. Mark focused on capturing photos and video in a documentary/journalistic way to help his clients develop visual content for their websites and social media.
What are the Odds? A former journalist and former photojournalist starting a marketing business based on their skill sets, after meeting on a dating app. We discovered that not only are we really good together as a couple, we work really good together as a team.
Our clients love our energy, passion, and the way our synergy pushes results to a new level. This is where Vark came from. Our clients lovingly use this to refer to us as one dynamic entity, as we are always better together than apart. .
Today we share a home, raise our kids and run our business together. Such and odd start, such an odd and silly couple, such odd senses of humor. Odd and Vark came together forming OddVARK Media. We haven’t met a client yet who hasn’t become a lifelong friend. We can’t wait to meet you and bring your brand to life!
