Jenna! Fleur Roosdett – Graphic Designer

Jenna! Fleur Roosdett joined the Buzzbizz Creative team in 2014 after graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Alaska Anchorage, where she worked as a leader and designer for multiple student organizations: including Student Activities, The Northern Light Student Newspaper, and various student-lead clubs.

Jenna!’s love for the digital arts started early in life, as she awkwardly tinkered with Microsoft Paint and KidPix. From then on, her passion for lifelong learning centered around graphic design and her obsessive need for quality sparked her interest in illustration, photography, and ye olde art of printmaking. Jenna! is the type of soul who will go above and beyond all expectations to make someone’s day and strives to get her clients excited about projects that just /need/ to get done. She works best with one of her three kitties on her lap and a Disney blu-ray playing in the background, but throw her on any computer with Adobe and you’ll get some stunning designs.

Jenna! has brought her fine art background to many Buzzbizz Creative design projects, such as USA Powerlifting, Great Northern Cannabis, Christmas Towne, Kenny Creek Lodge, Orthopedic Research Clinic of Alaska (ORCA), American Lung Association’s Smoke Free Housing, Da Poke Man, Good Deal Magazine, and PJ’s Alaskan Wood Craft.

Kaylin Smith – Digital Marketing Specialist

Kaylin landed at Buzzbizz Creative as an intern who was new to the vast world of marketing. She has advanced into the adept Account Coordinator she is today through her practical experience and lessons from her mentors. With her background in client services from retail management and mortgage, Kaylin challenges herself to tackle a variety of daily projects and welcomes new marketing planning opportunities that come her way. Kaylin is currently in the process of obtaining her bachelor’s degree in Marketing at the University of Alaska Anchorage. As she is looking to further her career in marketing, she is applying her skills of consumer behavior and the basics of marketing research.

When she’s not in the bustling office at Buzzbizz Creative, Kaylin can be found spending time with family and friends and appreciating the great outdoors that Alaska has to offer such as hiking, camping, fishing, and snowmachining. She has a strong affection for coffee during the day, and is an aspiring wine connoisseur by night. Brunch is the most underrated meal in her opinion. Kaylin happens to be really good at Tetris which has set her up for success as an adult between efficiently juggling tasks, managing her time, and loading dishwashers.

Chris Snipes – Account Manager

If you were to describe Chris in only a few words, they would be “fun-loving” and “competitive.”  At heart, he is a hardworking hedonist, and while that is an oxymoron, it describes Chris perfectly.  He enjoys the hard work that life demands while also reveling in its pleasures.  Whether it is in his relationships with his beautiful wife Wendy, his incredible daughter Avarie or his other family and friends, or if it is in his work as a marketing consultant, customer service provider and a business partner, Chris approaches life with a need to improve, a desire to live positively, and a commitment to enjoy each day to its fullest.  His enthusiasm can be seen in everything he does.  From tackling a complex work challenge to taking on all challengers for a competitive game of Words with Friends or Disc Golf, Chris strives to be the best that he can be at everything he does.

 

Chris leads with his heart, and is motivated to succeed through commitment and dedication.  He strives to excel professionally, and he loves to learn and be challenged.  At the same time, he enjoys sipping a hoppy IPA with a slice of pizza (okay, a whole pizza) while contemplating his next move in a game of chess.  One of his biggest goals in life is to appear on Jeopardy! as he feels that is a great way to apply the hard-earned knowledge he has amassed over years and utilize it to fund a globe-trotting extended vacation.

Rylee Rudd – Account Manager

Rylee is Buzzbizz Creative’s Wasilla Account Manager and business development lead. Born and raised in the beautiful Alaskan Valley, Rylee lives and breathes the culture and way of life that makes the Mat-Su valley one of the most unique and stimulating places to live in the United States of America.

Rylee has a passion for finding the perfect story and campaign to effectively market her clients. She has created dozens of marketing campaigns on multiple channels for companies throughout Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley.

When not hard at work, Rylee loves spending time with her daughter Emma at her cabin in Big Lake. She enjoys the sultry sounds of Steve Winwood and Stevie Nicks around a campfire surrounded by friends and family.

Michael Buzinski – President & CEO

Bringing a “never say die” attitude to everything he does, Buzz founded Buzzbizz Creative in 2005 after serving in the United States Air Force for 10 years. He blends 25 years of marketing experience with a decade of world travel to create a unique knack for seeing unexplored perspectives when it comes to marketing.

Michael’s passion for helping small and medium-sized businesses comes from serving large corporations early in his career. Examining what makes the giants tick has helped him formulate a marketing process that can scale down effective corporate strategies while keeping in mind the ever-present limited budgets of small business.

Buzz is a community minded person who spends much of his spare time serving his community by serving on multiple non-profit boards, mentoring young entrepreneurs, and raising money for local charitable causes. Of course, he does sneak in an occasional trip down the Seward Highway on his motorcycle and always finds time to get some fishing done during the summer.

Lucille Ballzinski – Chief Morale Officer

Literally the company’s youngest and smallest team member, Lucy brings a smile to everyone she encounters and lifts spirits around the offices on a daily basis. She enjoys fast runs down the hall, long naps on conference room chairs, and chewing on any doorstop she can get her chops on. Be sure scratch her behind the ears when you meet her. She’ll return the favor with endless kisses.
