In this episode, we talk to one professional who followed a pathway to purpose with a marketing focus and built a national company that focuses on serving its customers and having an engaging culture.
In his junior year at the University of Northern Iowa, Marc Reifenrath studied sales and advertising and decided to start an internet company with his friends as a resume builder. Unbelievably, the company was hugely successful and has grown for over 22 years, now employing 165 people. Spinutech is a web design company that focuses on high-end development.
Key takeaways— When leading a company, be open to change and create a positive work environment you want to work in. Spinutch never says, “that’s how we’ve always done it.”
