Taro Abarbanel-Uemura, Marketing strategist

Taro Abarbanel-Uemura

Marketing Strategist & Project Leader Fortified is headed by Taro Abarbanel-Uemura (try to pronounce it). When he isn’t downing espresso shots while devising marketing strategies in the “situation room”, he can be found at a coffee shop in Little Italy, or marathoning shows and documentaries on Netflix.

Kristina Asamoah, Social Media Manager & Content Creator

Kristina Dapaah

Social Media Specialist & Content Creator She’s best described as a ‘latte sipper’ with a knack for social results. When she isn’t scheduling content for a client’s social feed, she can be found blogging from her kitchen table while somewhat listening to a TED Talk.

Marika Escaravage, Social Impact & Project Leader

Marika Escaravage

Social Impact & Project Leader Marika is a business savvy bleeding heart. When she isn’t crafting plans and marketing copy for her socially-conscious clients, you’ll find her at the Pilates studio or embarrassing her husband with her obvious choice of puns.

Caio Vinicius Xavier Fernandes, Web Designer

Caio Fernandes

Website Designer & Developer Caio is Fortified Marketing’s go-to web guy. When he’s not working on your website, he can be found taking beautiful pictures of the city. He loves learning new things about science, design, technology and Roman history, just as much as tweeting about it.
