Meet the Presenters:

Carrie Rollwagen

Carrie wrote the book on small business — literally. Her book and blog, The Localist, delves into the life of American small business owners, and she uses that experience to help our clients take their businesses to the next level online. Carrie has been copyediting and writing for fifteen years. Her skills were forged in the newsroom at The Birmingham Post-Herald and she’s a huge book nerd (she cofounded Church Street Coffee & Books), but a love of paper and ink hasn’t stopped her from mastering the digital world as well: She’s had a blog pretty much since they existed, and she’s run social media for companies big and small. It doesn’t stop there — Carrie’s also our resident podcast host for One Quick Question with Infomedia, and she hosts her own podcast called The Localist.

Alana Harmond

Alana has always had a love for writing and all things creative. She’s a UAB alum with a degree in Marketing and a concentration in social media management, and she now carries her passion into her position at Infomedia as Marketing Manager. Alana’s responsibilities vary from day to day, and she wouldn’t want it any other way. Whether she’s planning our social media strategy, producing our podcast or optimizing a paid ad campaign, Alana’s always working her marketing magic (and having fun doing it). Outside of work, you’ll often find Alana hanging out with her friends, her mini goldendoodle, Demi, and her cat, Rosy. She also enjoys singing and playing guitar, taking care of 50+ houseplants, and compiling “one second every day” videos (she’s been making them since her 21st birthday!).

Taylor Davis

When you think of the ideal Account Manager, you probably picture someone who’s personable, efficient and truly cares about helping clients grow … Well, someone like Taylor Davis! She has all those qualities and more, making her a valuable asset to our Account Development team. Taylor has a background in marketing, and she moonlights as a wedding videographer on the weekends — both contributing to her apt understanding of our clients and their needs. But Taylor didn’t always dream of working for a website company — as a child, she dreamed of being an actor, and she keeps that dream alive today by doing freelance acting. While we’re not sure how she has the time or energy to excel in so many different arenas, we know younger Taylor would be proud.

About Anna

As a self-proclaimed “non-athlete” who somehow managed to play every sport you can think of during her time in school, Anna knows a thing or two about getting outside of her comfort zone. Anna joined Infomedia as Content Specialist, meaning that she handles all sorts of content from website copy to blogs to social media captions (and lots of things in between). Her background in both traditional and digital marketing, combined with her passion for writing and strong organizational skills, means that Anna thrives in this writing-focused role. Outside of work, you’ll probably find Anna hanging out with her husband, Jacob, and their three fur babies: Oliver (a cat), Noodles (also a cat) and Onix (a black lab).
