About

Adam Broetje

Founder & CEO
@abroejte |   Adam Broetje on LinkedIn

Background
Adam is a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder where he majored in Marketing and Entrepreneurial studies. Luckily he and a business plan team only managed to create one death-trap while in school, an Electromagnetic Snowboard Binding prototype. It was a great mix of “cool” and “ridiculousness” with just a dash of “crazy”…but it worked!

Over the last 10 years, Adam has been involved in Online marketing for a couple of successful internet startup companies. Handling everything from top-level strategic concepts to the nitty-gritty detail of Search Engine Optimization, this is where he first saw the value in companies looking at their Online Marketing as a whole.

John Broetje

Developer/Community Manager
@johnbroejte |   John Broetje on LinkedIn

Background
A man once asked John to solve the riddles of the Rubik’s Cube… after about 20 minutes of staring at the contraption, he decided it would be best to instead, head off to college. The next thing John knew he had moved to Bellingham, WA, started living in a house people called “The Crayon Box”, and was studying business at Western Washing University (WWU). A little over four years later John finished his reign in Bellingham, WA graduating from the WWU, majoring in Business Management with a concentration in International Business.

Recently, John has spent his time settling into city life having recently moved to Seattle. Much of John’s professional career has been spent in sales but he has always had a knack for creative thinking which shines through in his website designs. John has also recently gotten a Golden Retriever puppy named Yogi. Here’s a picture of Yogi with his ball!

Likes: Beer, dogs, guitar, and those long Summer nights

Dislikes: The Pitsburgh Steelers (although his angry feelings towards 2006 Superbowl loss have gotten a little less severe with the recent comments made by the head official). I also dislike soggy nachos…

Nickname:J-Bone, although the Kiwi believes it’s J-Bomb.

Lee Peterson

Designer / Developer

Lee is the guy that puts the professional touch onto all the designs OddDog produces for its clients. He can usually be found applying his many years of print-design background to websites in the form of pixel-perfect designs in Photoshop, or geeking out over a server setup that is meant to eek out every last ounce of performance. So far the only thing we’ve found that Lee can’t do is get us his profile photo and bio info, thus we have included his doppelganger for your enjoyment at left.

Likes: rust, pixels, paychecks

Dislikes: writing his own bio

Nickname: Wild Thing (which is French for “Kim”)

Chris Kampfe

SEM Extraordinaire

Background
Chris is an Omaha native, who made his way out to Colorado (where he and Adam worked, but more importantly played kickball, together) as soon as he possibly could. His career has been devoted to helping small to mid-size businesses develop successful online media campaigns. He has worked in Colorado, England and Ireland on web-marketing teams within a variety of industries, both in B2B and B2C verticals.

He is an experienced online marketer, a self-proclaimed chef and a credentialed Search Engine Marketing specialist. When not tweaking SEM campaigns, Chris is likely learning carpentry, making a fool of himself on skis, or teaching his 6 lb. Maltese-Shiatsu puppy “Brutus” to attack.

Likes: Johnny Walker Black Label & the AM Gold Collection, together… and not much else really.

Dislikes: The combination of: neon clothing accessories, misplaced cultural cynicism, and a feigned interest in arrhythmic/atonal music. Or more simply, hipster culture.

Nickname: The Fridge, Grampfe (he has tendency to sport clothing styles from the 1950′s)

Annie Durkin

Marketing Manager
@anniedurk

Annie is a recent graduate of the University of Washington where she studied International Relations and Communication. She settled into the online marketing and tech community as an intern at Odd Dog back in the day, and she can now be found helping Adam and Chris in all things business development. Annie helps keep the Odd Dog team supplied with fresh new projects and marketing campaigns, as well as handling the public relations. Like all of the Odd Dog team, she’s not afraid to dig right in and get techy wit’ it, either. As the only female in the company, you can also credit her with reminding the rest of the team how to interact with girls on a daily basis.

In her free time, you can find Annie adapting to the post-college world and wreaking havoc on the quiet residential neighborhood of Queen Anne. She’s also an outdoor enthusiast, shoe addict, and passionate cook.

Likes: dinosaurs, cooking, witty banter, whiskey

Dislikes: bike cops, Internet Explorer, mini shrimp

Nickname: Ginger
