Tony Romeo Home Page

My name is Tony Romeo. As the web makes our world smaller and smaller, I realize it's not such a unique name anymore, but I am the Tony Romeo from Berlin, NJ. It's where I currently reside as well. My family is from Berlin, I have lots of friends in Berlin, and more often than not it's a nice place to
call home.

I have been a marketing professional for over a decade. I started as a writer for American Express because my first BA is in English and writing was my first passion. Graphic Art, however, was also a passion and as the web emerged as a viable place to make a career, I migrated to it. I got my first job as a designer based on the strength of my portfolio, but later returned to Rutgers for formal study. (I am a few credits short of a second BA in Graphic Art, RU Camden, and when life slows down I will get it!) After several solid years of design, both professionally and freelance, I began teaching classes in Web Design, Photoshop, and Flash in my spare time.

Around 2005, the web began to change once again and I changed with it. Elaborate design took a backseat to usability and optimization of content. In a way I had come full circle as the web once more became about findable content, or simply, copy. Web sites needed to include carefully crafted copy, intuitive programming, and navigable design. As one that understands the nuances and complexities of all those components and now they need to come together, my career took the natural progression of managing large web projects. I am currently the Director of Interactive Marketing for an agency in Pennsylvania.

At my core however I still consider myself a marketer. Whether it's copy for a web, proposal, or plan of action, or designing the graphics and layout for a presentation, web or digital video, to me, it all comes back to effective marketing. Regardless of the medium I am in, regardless of my position or title my main goal has remained the same; clear effective communication of ideas.
