Senior Graphic Designer

**Company Overview**

Adam Miconi, founder of Rebel Ape Marketing, and Jonathan Lauer, owner of Lightchild Media, have joined forces to create XYZ Marketing, a full-service marketing agency that combines their expertise in website development, branding, SEO, video production, and advertising.

Prior to establishing XYZ Marketing, Adam and Jonathan had been collaborating on projects, referring clients to each other to provide a comprehensive marketing solution. Adam’s websites were generating significant traffic, but engagement was low. Meanwhile, Jonathan was producing exceptional videos that often remained underutilized on hard drives due to the lack of a proper platform.

As their working relationship grew, they realized that their skills were complementary and that by working together, they could create highly engaging and converting websites and landing pages. However, clients were questioning the need for two separate invoices. To streamline the process and provide a seamless experience for their clients, Adam and Jonathan decided to merge their businesses and form XYZ Marketing.

Since its inception, XYZ Marketing has become one of the leading marketing agencies in Utah, thanks to the combined expertise of its founders and their dedication to delivering exceptional results. The company has grown into a powerhouse, serving clients nationwide, from California to New York and everywhere in between.

With a strong foundation and a commitment to excellence, XYZ Marketing has ambitious plans for continued growth and success in the ever-evolving world of digital marketing.
