Anthony Angell, Founder and Chief Marketing Officer

After leaving the worlds of Finance and Educational Marketing for 11 years, Anthony took a couple of years off to hang out with his dogs and decide on his next career move.  Having a passion for small businesses and entrepreneurial spirit, his expertise in human nature (aka Psychology) and marketing paid off as launched his consultancy for small businesses to the beauty and wellness industry.  After appearing in more than 10 magazines with his business partner Tiago, some International, the clout and idea for StickyStreet came to life. Anthony’s vision of transforming inaccessible technology jargon into intuitive, accessible ideas with personality (ie: making the machine friendly) can be found throughout the platform. An avid Mac user and natural-born “marketeer”, he is the driving force behind StickyStreet’s buzz (you’re reading this aren’t you), ease of use, and agency-centric feature development. He can often be overheard telling Tiago and Tim,  “I know it’s harder to make it work this way, but it’ll be easier for our agencies and their clients to work with”.

Interesting. Anthony has 3 three Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, Ch. Bradberry’s Chauncey Blueboy, Seamus and Keifer.  He thinks they are easier to talk to than Tiago. But don’t tell Tiago that!

Tiago Soromenho, Founder and Chief Experience Architect

Tiago stepped behind the green curtain at StickyStreet after guiding many Fortune 500 companies’s presence on the Internet during the early stages of the digital age. A graduate of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and one of the first web designers anywhere, Tiago worked and learned from such iconic advertising personalities, as Jay Chiat and Marcio Moreira. At Chiat/Day, Tiago created some of the very first web sites for Nissan, Sony, and Energizer. Driven by the capability of the Internet to revolutionize the way brands interact with their customers, Tiago was a key part of the team that founded Zentropy Partners as Sr. VP, Creative Director, in the Interpublic group of companies, playing a key part in leveraging the international footprint of McCann Erikson for such clients as General Motors, Reebok, Nautica, Dean & Deluca, Men’s Wearhouse, Avery Denison, Ameritrade, EMAP Publications, Park Place Entertainment, and many others. Tiago was often seen from Los Angeles to London judging advertising award shows and giving speeches about marketing in the digital space. Seeing the opportunity to bring his experience working with large companies to enable small businesses around the world to be able to compete on equal footing, Tiago founded StickyStreet with Anthony after moving to the Washington D.C. area. As Chief Experience Architect, Tiago works tirelessly to improve the user experience and functionality of the StickyStreet platform as well as its integrations across the world with many other SaaS platforms.

Hmm. Tiago still has an original Apple Macintosh with the square mouse, and can’t wait to test the iBrain interface when it comes out.

David Bixler, Partner, International Biz Dev & Loyalty Incubation

David joins StickyStreet full time after a successful career running his own StickyStreet agency. Involved since the early days of StickyStreet, David has witnessed first hand the tremendous International growth. His passion for our product and its power has led him to jump in the back of the StickyStreet van with us full time.  He will be leading the charge for our global expansion and also developing our in-house Loyalty Incubation Division where he will help shape the direction of new features to our product through his work with young entrepreneurs in addition to his full-time job in International Business Development.  His experience working with the StickyStreet platform puts him in a unique position to help Agencies ramp up their loyalty business. Fulfilling his role as StickyStreet’s adventurous Global Jetsetter, David has traveled as far as Australia on behalf of StickyStreet, and looks forward to discussing loyalty in your country next. David will also be intimately involved, while not in Seat 3F on British Airways headed off to some exotic locale to spread the StickyStreet word, as the Administrator of our new Agency Forum which will allow our global agencies to have a place to share and learned from each other.

Wow.  David was the youngest agency on the StickyStreet platform and had clients across 3 countries.  He is also the self proclaimed Curator of the StickyStreet In-House Music Program and can be found changing songs usually 43 seconds into the current one.

As the Jefferson’s say… We’re moving on up!!

Ok, it’s just to the 4th floor, but to start 2012 we’ve moved into our new offices at the AMAZING 2200 Penn Complex, located surprisingly at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue – where we share space with some of the hottest dot.coms, and hip new folks! We’re following in the footsteps of Zendesk and others and surrounding ourselves with other creatives to feed off their energy – no, not in a Vampire way – but to make sure we’re being challenged and among technology peers.

Our new digs are a dynamic mixed-use development strategically located on Pennsylvania Avenue at Washington Circle, presenting an iconic gateway to Washington’s Central Business District. We’re adjacent to George Washington University campus, where we hope to find some free interns, or some that will be paid in donuts. We’re a hop, or really more of a skip to Georgetown, West End, and Foggy Bottom, 31 hotels (we counted, well David counted, I’m sure he was supposed to be doing something more productive but it sounded like a challenge to him) including the Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons, as well as the Kennedy Center and Georgetown’s neighboring shopping district.

We won’t have our name on the building just yet, but our name is in lights (well, LED actually) on the Building Marquee in the Lobby. Sometimes I catch Tiago just staring at the words StickyStreet.com. (Embarrassing)

If you are into this kind of stuff ––– we’re not really, we just love the location and the way it looks!!! We’re just adding it of for filler and we got a gift card for the holiday from our web designer and this is what we are using it for — this space rocks. It was designed by the world renowned (like almost as famous as us) architectural firm of Pelli Clarke Pelli, 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue is a true “live, work, play” urban environment, with 452,000 square feet of trophy office space (don’t get a big head for us, we can count our space using our own feet with socks on), 330 upscale residential units and 80,000 square feet of prime retail space. So, if you’re visiting for a meeting or a class and get bored, you can just go downstairs to the gym, or drop the significant other off for shopping on the first floor!

If you’re taking us to dinner (hint, hint), Fine dining, unique cafes, an urban grocery store, and the retail services are all around our new place. We’re also flippin’ right NEXT to the Foggy Bottom Metro stop. If not, we’ve got snacks, an open fridge stocked with goodies and coffee and teas from more countries that we are in! (That’ a LOT!).

Senior Advisors

Tim Barnes, New Technologies

Tim didn’t start out as nerdy as he is now, but instead began his career in mental health as a therapist in outpatient recovery specializing in behavioral epidemiology. He moved onto Charlottesville, Virginia where he studied health care management and medicine. Shortly after his move to DC, the geek within finally took over and he started the successful design firm, DesignMe, LLC. Tim brings his advice, talents in technology design and programming to StickyStreet where he will help guide the next generation platform for customer loyalty. He holds an MPH from the University of Virginia and an SB from George Mason University and other various acronyms.  He is also the inventor of the revolutionary medical device, pEMR.

Curious. Tim’s other claims to fame include being the previous owner of CardStar, the most prolific mobile loyalty card management app on the Apple App Store.
