The Team

Jay Bailey, CEO and Creative Director, has more than a decade of hands-on experience in aggressive (but friendly!) online marketing and web site design. Jay's early career in developing and implementing digital technologies for newspaper kicked off his obsession with fonts, color balance, and advertising design.

Most recently serving as the long-time Director of Marketing at the well-known Answers.com, he comes from a
family of psychologists and thus recognizes the importance of creating marketing tools that focus on the user's ego and need for empathy.

RapidFire Video began as a casual project to help out a couple of friends whose websites' homepages simply didn't tell their story. What Jay created for them was short. Clean. Direct. Inexpensive. Entertaining. Word got around and it quickly turned into a business with a long list of happy customers.

Shara Grifenhagen, VP Operations, has nearly a decade of experience in traditional and online marketing. She began her marketing career coordinating advertising and marketing campaigns for a mom-and-pop restaurant, working closely with a team of freelance designers and programmers before moving on to various non-profit organizations where she developed and implemented branding and marketing plans.

Most recently she transitioned into the technology world, helping craft and execute the marketing plan of Answers.com and later, an online Web security technology company. Her varied background allows her to understand products and services, enabling her to better pinpoint the consumer's pain and articulate the provider's solution.

Joe Urso, Graphic Designer, began his career fifteen years ago in desktop publishing. He is a graduate of Sessions College for Professional Design in both Graphic Design and Advanced Digital Arts. In addition to working digitally, he also enjoys doing traditional pencil and charcoal drawings.

...And a team of talented graphic designers, photographers, voiceover artists and animators chosen especially for each project.
