Our Story

A Las Vegas agency that designs and ranks, not one or the other

Crown Marketing was started by Todd and Michelle Farino, both born and raised in Las Vegas. The idea was simple. Most shops build sites that look good and never rank, or rank sites that look like 2011. We wanted to do both, in house, for businesses in our own city.

How it started

Todd has been designing and coding websites since 1999. That started with fixing computers in the Air Force and running an eBay business on the side, then a five year USAF enlistment, then the GI Bill and a Management Information Systems degree from UNLV. Michelle spent two decades in Las Vegas hotel and casino marketing, rising to Director of Hotel Operations, before moving to the agency side as a Marketing Director.

How we work

We are small on purpose. The owners are on your account, not an intern and not an account manager relaying messages. We report on leads and revenue rather than impressions, we do not sell you services you do not need, and we do not lock you into long contracts. That approach is why our longest running client relationship is now twenty five years old.

CROWN MARKETING TEAM

The people who will actually be on your account

Five of us. No account executive passing your work to someone you never meet, and no offshore content mill writing in a voice that is not yours.

Michelle Farino

Owner, President, Chief Marketing Officer

If you like gritty, honest and fierce, you will love working with me. I have been a marketing professional for over 20 years and my passion is helping businesses hit their goals.

Born and raised in Las Vegas, I started in hotel marketing, graduated in 2002 and was promoted to Director of Hotel Operations after years in the hotel and casino industry. After taking time off to have my son I came back as a Marketing Director on the agency side, and I have worked with businesses worldwide since. I am a strategist and digital marketer who actually cares about the outcome.

Todd Farino

Owner, Web Development Director, Consultant

Born in Las Vegas and here for over 40 years. I have been designing and coding websites since 1999, starting in the USAF where I was fixing computers and building my own on the side. After five years in the Air Force I took the GI Bill and graduated from UNLV with a degree in Management Information Systems.

Since then I have worked in HTML, Visual Basic, ASP, PL/SQL and eventually PHP and WordPress. I have sold millions of dollars of product online since 1997 and designed over 200 websites. My job is turning a site into something that actually sells, and I also run the servers and email, so there is very little about your digital setup I will not touch.

Kesha is an Account Manager at Crown Marketing with more than 10 years of technical SEO expertise. She works hands on inside client accounts, so the person you talk to is also the person who knows what is happening on your site.

Her focus is the technical side of search: site audits, crawling and indexing, site speed, schema markup and the fixes that help Google read a site correctly. When a site is not ranking the way it should, she is usually the one who finds out why.

His job is making sure each client looks like themselves, not like a template, so the design supports the message and gives people a reason to keep reading.

He also serves as Support Manager for one of the top selling WordPress themes, where his technical depth and customer service have measurably improved the user experience. If something on your site needs to be built rather than configured, it lands on his desk.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Twenty five years with one client

The relationships tend to outlast the campaigns. Here is one that started with a Major League Baseball site and never ended.

“

We started working with Todd 25 years ago when he designed a Major League Baseball website for Fred. Web design for retired MLB players was fairly new then. Todd was extremely knowledgeable and talented about web design and how to monetize it. He was also a long time fan of Fred’s, and it was an immediate friendship and partnership.

Ever since, we have worked hand in hand with Crown Marketing on scaling and improving our website. We have seen a lot of success from it and could not have done it without them. I would 100% recommend them to anyone.
