Kevin HarperResidential & Commercial Real Estate Sales
Digital marketer with expertise in SEO & media relations
I’m a disciplined and strategic digital marketer, problem solver, and lifetime learner. I love marketing for clients and nonprofit organizations of all sizes that want to grow their public exposure. Formerly an architect and director of marketing, I help get properties and companies in the national, regional, and local media to compete aggressively in the marketplace. I have done this in part by earning media coverage in print, radio, and TV, as well as trade publications. My clip file includes the Wall Street Journal (and here), Los Angeles Times, Architectural Record, Idaho Statesman, and many more. I have won multiple awards from the Idaho Press Club for my work.
