a little back story
About GSM
Branding • Website Design • Social Media Management
Howdy, I’m Greg Scott
The name makes sense now, right?
I’m a Front End Web Developer, Creative and Digital Marketer with over 15 years experience. I even went to school for it! I have Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology concentrated in Web Development.
Before taking my freelance full-time, I co-managed Frito-Lay’s corporate website (along with a few of their brands) for 8 years (2008-2016). About half way through that 8-year stretch, I joined the team that managed the Frito-Lay branded Social Channels too.
During that time, I’ve worked with many web design/development, design and marketing agencies all over the country. I also did some of the photography for the Frito-Lay social media accounts along with the graphic design too! Sometimes you gotta wear a lot of hats. Good thing I like hats!
I’m not your typical IT guy. Hell, I’m not really an IT guy.
I might sit behind a computer most of the day, but I take every opportunity to get outside whether it’s at the house, driving the side-by-side under some East Texas pine trees or up on the East side of the Kiamichi River.
I like to think that my country roots give me the ability to be able to communicate well with those who aren’t technically savvy. I’m not your typical IT guy. Hell, I’m not really much of an IT guy. I’m a creative that… learned a very particular set of skills, skills I have learned on my computer over a very long career…(Taken (movie), LOL).
Most IT folks only have one way, the technical way (insert techno-mumbo jumbo here), when working or communicating. I’m here to change the game, and stand out from the crowd (the bor-ring crowd).
When I’m not coding or creating, you’ll find me smoking a brisket or some ribs for my beautiful wife and 3 boys. I enjoy getting lost in Pinterest trying to find a way to give our house some Great Scott flare. If we’re not at the house, we’re out on the side-by-side getting lost on some red dirt trails of East Texas or up by the Kiamichi River with a couple col’beers!
About GSM
Digital Marketing seemed like a natural career choice in the progression of my life - the touring heavy metal band did NOT pay the bills. Trust me, I tried for many years.
After the band well, disbanded, I started focusing on the other work I did while in the band - maintaining the website and creating content on MySpace (lol). Thankfully around that time, a spot opened up to help manage the FritoLay.com website (yes, the chip and tater company). So I took it and ran with it for years. I learned a ton from other Marketing agencies and finished my degree in Website Development.
Fast forward a few years and I really noticed I was on the wrong side of the creative team - corporate world is not creative, that's why they hire marketing agencies.
So in 2016, I took the leap, a big leap, a scary leap out to working for myself. And here we are in [*insert current year] and I'm still at it. *yes, that was intentional. 🙂
