Kevin Creighton

I'm Kevin Creighton, and my Dad had no idea that the gifts of his old Brownie camera and a Commodore 64 would eventually lead to my careers in online marketing and commercial photography.

Kevin Creighton has been described as "The living, breathing embodiement of NAFTA": A Canadian living in Arizona who speaks fluent Spanish. Kevin's also pretty good (REALLY good, if you ask his clients) at online marketing, including things like web strategy, email marketing and social media.
