After 2 years in the hospitality arena, Matt set out to sharpen his skills in another industry. He was hired as an art director at Chico’s FAS, an upscale women’s retail corporation which operates over 1,000 specialty stores. At Chico’s he played an integral part in national ad campaigns and was responsible for point-of-purchase creative materials for all stores and outlets.
In early 2002 Matthew left the security of a salaried position with benefits to venture forth on his own. Boost Creative was successfully born!

Madi was born and raised suburbs of Washington, DC, growing up in the northern Virginia area. After graduating high school, she attended Radford University in southwest Virginia. While in school, Madi took a special interest in digital marketing and how tools such as social media and paid search advertising can reach audiences in ways traditional marketing cannot. Madi graduated with her Bachelors of Business Administration in Marketing, with a concentration in Analytics, in 2015.
After college, Madi worked in the northern Virginia area for a small business and later a trade association as part of their in-house marketing teams. On the side, she also assisted various small businesses in the area with their social media and search engine marketing strategies, helping them grow their online presence exponentially. Through this experience, Madi decided that she needed to make the switch from in-house marketing to a creative firm where she could better hone in on her talents in digital marketing. It just happened that at that same time, her fiancé’s work had relocated to Fort Myers. The stars aligned and Boost offered her a position, to which she gladly accepted. Madi is very excited to be a part of the team at Boost and looks forward to helping clients expand their businesses through digital marketing.
Madi now lives in Fort Myers with her fiancé and their shepherd-husky mix, Max. Outside of work, she enjoys teaching various styles of dance at a local dance studio in Fort Myers. She is an avid DC sports fan, loves all things Disney, and is excited to live where it never snows.
I’m a Floridian since childhood, when my family left Michigan to live first in Miami, then in the Fort Myers area. My introduction to web development came via Flash and Dreamweaver as a student at Fort Myers High School, but I decided to set that aside to pursue a degree in history at Florida Gulf Coast University.
While in college I worked at a local travel agency and helped them get their first site online. It wasn’t the prettiest thing ever, to put it mildly, but it felt great to help the company take a step forward. From there I started researching more modern methods of web development and made some cool things, like a client database for the travel agency, and a tool for nonprofits to build their own websites with donation functionality. I would create things I thought people might like, release them for free on open source focused websites, and hope somebody got some good use out of it. Through this process I got feedback from more accomplished people and was able to learn from their work. Eventually I decided on making career of it, and that has become reality at Boost Creative.

Prior to moving to sunny Southwest Florida, Taylor lived in New Jersey for a few short years.

After graduation, she moved up to Savannah, Georgia with her husband for the military. While in Georgia, Taylor started school again virtually at Southern New Hampshire University, where she’s pursuing her degree in Marketing with a concentration in Social Media Marketing.
While in college, Taylor got a taste of the industry while interning for a small cafe in Georgia doing social media work. After her internship, she began working for a nonprofit organization as a social media coordinator. In her position, she created social media content, photographed events, implemented campaigns and fundraising events, and even found a liking for email marketing.
