Hi, my name is Mike.
I’m the Founder & CEO of Red Button Media, a video content agency that specializes in creating authentic, professional video content and marketing strategies that get you, and your brand, the attention you deserve.
Before diving completely into video content marketing, I kept myself busy in the Mortgage and Real Estate industries by creating educational curricula, developing product offerings, and building content-driven lead generation platforms in order to support my addictions to Diet Coke, golf, Star Wars toys, and comic books... in that order.
