CULTURE FIRST

Hi, I'm Stephen, the founder of Wit Digital. I always knew from an early age that I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I didn't have anybody in my family that was an entrepreneur. I didn't have any mentors, so I kind of had to figure it out all on my own. But I knew deep in my blood that that's what I wanted to do. Over the years I had multiple businesses — some were very successful, some sold, some were not so successful. I owned a mortgage company in 2008, and with that one I learned some very valuable lessons about making sure that you have perspective and you're paying attention to things bigger than just what's going on in the day-to-day of the business. And so I've taken all of these entrepreneurial lessons over the years into founding Wit in 2014 and building what I believe is one of the best digital marketing agencies for home service that exists today. And it's not just because we care about results, but it's because we care about the relationship — and not just the relationship with our customers, but also the relationship internally with our employees. I'm a huge believer that if you take care of the human side of things, everything else is going to work out exponentially better. And one of the things that I spend most of my time with at Wit is working with our team. What are their goals? What do they want in life? What type of personal development and professional development do they need to become the next best version of themselves? So that whether they stay at Wit for the rest of their life or they move on somewhere else, they can now have a much better life. And this is one of the things that's really important to me and that I'm very proud of — is how much we've put into each of the employees and how much we've been able to impact their day-to-day lives.

Hi, I'm Andrew. I'm the CEO and co-owner of Wit Digital. I am super excited to be at Wit. I initially started out in private aviation. I went to school for it. I'm a pilot. I thought I would never leave that industry. And what I found was it was fantastic work — it was a lot of fun to buy, sell, and manage airplanes — but something was missing. I didn't feel connected to my clients. I didn't feel connected to the work that I was doing. I found that I was just going as fast as I possibly could to make as much money as possible. And in meeting a good friend of mine who was helping me kind of navigate how to best look at my career and my future, he offered me an opportunity. And that individual is Stephen Christopher, who is the founder of Wit. And when he offered me the opportunity to come over to Wit, we wanted to do something different. We wanted to build a company that not only piggybacked on the amazing results he's been getting in this industry, but also really focus on the client experience. And coming from the private aviation world, I had the opportunity to really work on a high level of client experience and attention to detail. And so coupling those two together, we have built something really, really exciting at Wit that is growing our clients' success and really building out an amazing culture and a team.
