Emilie McGowan
Customer Success Manager
Our Sunshine Girl
Hi there! I’m Emilie McGowan with an “ie” and a big g! I am a lover of all things travel and adventure. I find much value in getting out of my comfort zone and exploring different things that I haven’t experienced yet. Such as moving to Twin (over a year ago) to marry my best friend Brian!
Growing up, I was the little girl running around making friends with anyone that would talk to me. Here we are 20 years later and that has not changed one bit! I have always been a lover of people. I enjoy being able to acknowledge the accomplishments that people have made and celebrate those victories with them! It is such a blessing to be able to be in a career that allows me to utilize my strengths and ensure that our clients are taken care of and pleased with the work we are doing.

Customer Success Manager
Can Strike Up a Conversation With Pretty Much Anyone
I’ve always been creative and analytical. In my youth I enjoyed art, sports, and music - still do. Weekend adventures and annual week-long camping trips were normal growing up. I’ve been in the area since ’08. My experience is scattered across the board - higher education, ministry, social work, agriculture, and web work to name a few. Excited to see the how the next chapter turns!
As the Client Marketing Manager, I’m here to make you and your team look good. Easy to understand expectations makes the world go round. Let’s break it down and get everyone on the same page.

Tiffani Ciciliano
Designer
Lover of Turtles and All Things Disney
My desire as a child was to go off to London, leap off the hour hand of Big Ben and travel with Peter Pan to Neverland. Eventually I recognized it would not happen, and only merely because I was a child growing up in Idaho, not because Neverland is not real. Eventually graphic design found me in a yearbook meeting and never let go. I worked hard for several years, got married, adopted two cats and two dogs, and moved to Utah and back. All this to discover something wonderful.
An opportunity came to be a graphic designer, help businesses achieve their dreams and live in the place I love. Neverland was an excellent dream as a kid, and not a half bad one as an adult, but I would never trade it for the life I live now. Truly, I cannot wait to meet you, help to create wonderful things, and watch life unfold.
Tiffani is a wizard here at Rinard Media. She excels at keeping up with our clients needs and making sure everything works the way you expect it to. Design & Development of websites, logos, and branding systems are her specialty.
(Although it's not part of the job description, she always laughs at Eli's puns. Even when no one else does.)

Corry Damey
Designer
Board Game Master
As a kid, I loved to draw and was determined to be like my father who taught me all he knew. I eventually supplemented pencil and paper with a mouse and keys as I pursued a career in graphic design. My eyes were suddenly opened to a world where everything we interact with is touched by design - good and… less good. And I resolved to do my part in navigating businesses through it.
Bringing relevance and restoration to brands is one of my greatest joys. I have opportunity to partner with businesses and serve people who believe that what they do brings flourishing to the lives of their customers. And that’s an amazing story to take part in.
I am a Designer and Developer here. You bring value to your customers. I want to help you realize your visibility through your brand. I hope we can make beautiful art together!

Ashley Ausere
Designer/Developer
Rinard Media's Plant Mom
Growing up I was constantly designing and doodling. I was always the one with extra sketchbooks and the outrageous abundance of pencils in my bag. In the past I have designed t-shirts and logos for friends simply because I enjoy doing so. Moving into my adult years I’ve expressed my creative side through photography and the graphic arts. I actively pursue new techniques and skills that I can incorporate into my craft to better suit the needs for my clients.
I'm one of the website designers and developers here at Rinard Media. I enjoy creating a personal relationship with my clients and being able to cater to their needs in a unique way that reflects them, both as an individual and as a business.

Quin Marlow
Operations Lead/Digital Marketer
His Book Collection Rivals the Library of Congress
In my free time, you can find me reading, taking walks with my 3 kids, helping with way too many chores around the house, or trying to figure out how to communicate the ideas bouncing around in my head. I have always tended to live in my head, processing abstract ideas, and uniting them together to form a mosaic of understanding. One of my greatest joys is to take that information and then help other people to think well and deeply in their own lives. I am so excited to be jumping into the world of data analysis and learning the art form of how to read the data and make lasting change.
I work as a Digital Marketer here at Rinard Media. Data analysis, Google optimization, and ads are what I am all about. Your business lives in a world of constant noise and louder and louder information. I am here to help cut through that noise and bring stability and growth to your business.

Carl Lawrence
Digital Marketer
Tallest Person in the Office
I recently moved to Twin Falls after making the decision to leave my previous career in retail management to be able to live closer to family and spend more time with my wife and young son. You may not notice upon first meeting me but I am super competitive. I try my best to hide it but I spend a lot of time trying to think of ways to get better at how I do things. I love exploring new places and experiences and often feel like I don’t have enough time for all of my hobbies.
Problem solving has always been a great joy. I picked up programming as a hobby when I was a kid and love playing around with different methods of solving difficult problems. I greatly enjoy tinkering with data and trying to find hidden trends in numbers.
I am grateful to be in a role that allows me to utilize these strengths to help others further their business. Each partnership provides a new opportunity to learn and grow.

Allie Knight
Social Media Manager
Rinard Media’s #SocialButterfly
Heyyy!! I’m Allie Knight and I am an intern here at Rinard Media. I currently go to CSI where I am studying Business Management and Entrepreneurship. I grew up watching my family take part in different kinds of businesses, including our family business, Apple Barn event center! I love business, and I understand how much dedication goes into running one as well as how important each different aspect is.
I am the biggest fan of summertime and absolutely dread winter each year. I love being warm and enjoying the sunshine. I also love to travel and go on spontaneous adventures! Outside of work I enjoy playing tennis, dancing, walking the canyon rim trail, watching the sunset, and stopping to pet every dog I see. I’m also a huge supporter of having random dance parties! If there is music, I WILL be dancing to it. I’m kinda shy but once you get to know me I have multiple sarcastic comments waiting for you and will probably give you just a bit of sass.

I'm a Twin Falls local, born and raised! I graduated summa cum laude from the College of Southern Idaho in 2019 with a degree in Communications (I’ve gotta brag about that SOMEWHERE or all those sleepless nights were for nothing.) I have an academic and professional passion for understanding the way we humans communicate with one another. I love puzzling out how we can do so more effectively!
As a copywriter, I’m here to help businesses clearly communicate who they are across different online mediums. I have a hand in pretty much every department — video scripts, web copy, blog posting, email campaigns, print media, and more. If your project has words, it will come across my desk at some point!

Scott Whipple
Director of Video
The Office's Sarcasm and Meme Expert
I love making things with purpose. Whether it's through woodworking, metalworking, filmmaking, photography, or painting, my drive is to creatively solve problems. Creating something from nothing is so wholly satisfying and is why I love filmmaking. Being able to tell a story that compels and moves people is a difficult task, but extremely rewarding to deliver. I always hope to produce work that resonates with people and makes them have to look a second time.
I am excited to deliver the highest quality of content to my community that empowers them to better tell their story.
I work in Video Production here at Rinard Media. I create meaningful video content for clients, everything from Instagram Stories to looping trade show videos.

Zach Ferguson
Videographer
Taco Bell Connoisseur
Hanging out with family and friends, making music, skateboarding, and snowboarding/skiing are my favorite ways to spend time. I am convinced that the chicken quesadilla was created on the 8th day based on its inherent perfection.
Enjoying special moments is important, and capturing those with a camera allows a great shared experience with everyone involved. This is what I use to help connect businesses to their communities in a way that they can have a positive impact.
As a member of the video production team, I help businesses express themselves through video. Each business has a unique story to tell and reaches their audience in a different way, and I love helping them along that storytelling journey.

Kris Rodgers
Vidographer
Rinard Media's Resident Hipster
My wife and I recently moved to Twin Falls at the start of 2022. We moved here from Knoxville, Tennessee when I was offered a job as a videographer at Rinard Media. My wife and I love to spend time together in the outdoors with our black lab, Keeta. We go hiking, mountain biking, and exploring together any chance we get. Part of why we chose Twin Falls was all of the opportunities to get outside and adventure here locally.
I enjoy making things with my hands and I do a lot of leatherwork in my spare time. I love being a videographer because it allows me to help people tell their stories in creative and engaging ways.

Project Manager
Still Believes in Non-Motorized Mountain Biking
I get a feeling of accomplishment hearing a client express their appreciation for my work. Being an approachable and friendly team player - one that looks for ways to make my peers successful - is important to me. My family is a highlight to me - I always enjoyed coaching my kids in hoops and teaching science classes. A favorite hobby for me is mountain biking, followed by ice-cold soda water and a deluxe burger.
As a Project Manager, my role is to understand our customer’s digital and business needs, and then relay them accurately with all members of our project team, including our Designers, our Content Writer and our Digital team.

Eli Stonemets
Design Lead
The Office's Dad Joke Extraordinaire
As a kid, I often existed in my imagination, creating elaborate pretend worlds usually filled with super heroes and crazy enemies for them to defeat. As I got older I began directing that imagination toward things like design and photography. It was a way for me to take what was only in my imagination and make it something I could actually look at and interact with. Fast forward to today and I am still using my imagination for design and photography but now I get to pair it with telling the story of a successful business. Every business has a story to tell and there is always a creative and imaginative way to tell it.
I am the Design Lead at Rinard Media which means I work closely with our incredible designers to produce beautiful work. I love hearing the needs of our customers and helping create a plan that will showcase your business in an impressive way.

Zach Rinard
CEO
The Ringleader of This Monkey Show
I come from a family of entrepreneurs who have worked hard and succeeded in serving their local community. As a young kid, I recall sitting in many meetings listening to my dad build businesses, serve people, and provide great service to his customers. When he was on the phone and I was nearby, I wasn’t to make any noise because he cared about that person and the experience they had.
That same dedication has been instilled in me. I love serving small businesses. Seeing clients grow, get more opportunity, and expand their business is the reason I started Rinard Media. Our digital agency does exactly that; We help small businesses win because the jobs they provide, the services they offer, and the people they effect matter.
My ultimate job function is to make sure our customers achieve their marketing goals and I work with our team to ensure the best marketing services for our awesome clients. When I’m not doing that, I’m selling, hiring, or casting vision.
