Our Mission
To study and learn, to spark improvement in ourselves and those we work with, and to always respect our craft. (And after all that, to go outside and stay there.)
Tim Yeadon, Principal & Lifecycle Strategist
Tim Yeadon
Tim is a strategist (and former journalist) who learned long ago the best way to help his clients was to ask a lot of questions and then listen carefully. Tim also serves as host of Input Doc, our podcast.
He can also speak at your conference or podcast.
Before starting the agency in 2016, Tim was a Copywriter and Creative Director for the Oracle Marketing Cloud (Responsys), where he led email lifecycle marketing campaigns for Verizon, REI, Realtor.com, Intuit, and Safeway.
Tim lives with his wife and two very friendly dogs (one of whom is Mr. Golden himself, see below) in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, where in his spare time he repairs manual typewriters and builds wooden boats.
