The Team

Our Story

Tom and Sue first met at the Kansas City Art Institute and became good friends. Tom graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design, Sue with a BFA in Painting. Life happened, and they lost touch for, well, a long time.

Tom

Tom's path led him to agencies big and small, including behemoth McAnn/Erickson, honing his skills in art direction, graphic design, content creation, and producing and directing TV commercials. Along the way, he collected a boatload of awards, too. Eventually, his titles included Creative Director, and at his last agency stint, Executive Vice President of Business Development.

Sue

Sue's journey was more winding. She freelanced for production studios, publishers, and small agencies in NYC, Connecticut, and Arizona, creating graphics and layouts for print and multimedia. All the while, she continued exhibiting her multidisciplinary art in solo and group shows in NYC, Seattle, Chicago, and the Hudson Valley. Eventually, she launched a hand-sewn, hand-painted clothing line on Etsy, teaching herself web design and social media to promote both her fashion and mixed-media art.

"How 'bout Detroit?"

When Tom and Sue reconnected, Sue was looking to relocate from New York's Hudson Valley. Tom made her a three-word offer she couldn't resist: "How 'bout Detroit?" Sue responded with a two-word, "Why not?". They became life partners.

Tom and Sue

Tom had built his own freelance practice, offering marketing and advertising services, graphic design, social media, logo creation, and whatever else clients needed — everything but web design.

Sue, meanwhile, had been sharpening her web design chops, going from self-hosted sites to custom WordPress builds.

Maniaci Marketing

That was the last piece of the puzzle. Eighty-plus websites later, they’ve evolved into the two-person agency they are today.

We hired Maniaci Marketing for our Logo design, Website Design, & Constant Contact eblasts. Within the span of a few weeks, Maniaci Marketing coordinated creating our logo, and website, development. They set our small business on an accelerated path to establishment. Sue possesses an impressive knowledge in website implementation and excels in the coordination among various third-party entities involved. We are happy that we have a local team that cares about the success of our website and marketing. We highly recommend their services.

I have been using Maniaci Marketing for several years. They have been an absolute pleasure to work with. They have taken a time consuming area that I am not familiar with and used their expertise to make my life easier. Recently they have taken over my website and are maximizing its potential. I have recommended them to many of my business associates and now they are helping them. They are experts and really know how to take care of business!!

Steven G. Blair, President | Murray’s Parts City

I've been working with Tom Maniaci, for years, leaning on him for artistic recommendations and contracting him for all manner of logos and presentations. Having vast experience at ad agencies and independent work, Tom has expertise in many areas, from artwork to ad content and design.

It has been my extreme pleasure to work with Tom and Sue on the long overdue update of my two websites, and creation my new logo. I could not be happier with the results. My new logo is stunning, and this is high praise from a former nit-picky graphic designer like me. Tom was particularly helpful with my social media, helping me bump my presence to top of page. Sue patiently held my hand through the entire website process. I trust her completely to maintain and refresh both my sites. Together they make a formidable team...A one-stop marketing shop.

The services I received from Maniaci Marketing were website design and maintenance, logo design and business cards. They had to hold my hand throughout the process because I didn’t know much about design, logo, website and how to approach the public. Working with Sue and Tom was really a great experience.  They were very responsive, they helped me put together a plan so people knew about me and the services I offer. They are very well informed about the industry and what works best. Overall, it was a great experience and I would not hesitate to use them for any other project I have.

Jogue receives marketing, and website services from Maniaci Marketing. Maniaci Marketing has helped us streamline updates and problem-solve. Not only are Tom and Sue exceptionally talented at what they do, they truly put in the extra effort to make sure they deliver a high-quality, personalized package. The Maniaci Marketing team is so easy and pleasant to work with. They never fail to respond with patience and excitement to share a new range of their skills. I would definitely recommend Maniaci Marketing to others. Even if you have a baseline knowledge of website design and management, Tom and Sue’s experience and knowledge of the industry is worth every penny!
