There’s smart marketing. And then there’s Extreme Marketing. And Chip Borkowski is the Dean of the Extreme.
Chip started The ALB Group in January 2008, applying what he’s learned—and taught to a generation of marketers—during a 20 year career as a leader in strategic marketing and advertising. For Chip, class is always in session—he’s constantly looking at the marketing world in new, engaging and dynamic ways, offering clients a refreshing and revolutionary way of thinking about their products and services. And, in turn, that new way of thinking sparks greater heights to marketing strategy, tactics, creative, campaigns and accountability.
What’s more, The Dean of Extreme ensures that his clients study from the same textbook—one focusing on Return On Investment, brand enhancement and superlative results. He also expects his team to do the same. (It helps that he wrote the book.)

Jon Hardin – VP/General Manager

Jon Hardin feels your pain.
After all, he’s worked client side—and has experienced the same pressures, demands and tribulations clients have. He knows the constraints clients are under to produce more, with greater results—and in a way that’s faster, smarter and better. He knows because he’s done it himself.
Prior to joining The ALB Group, Jon was the Marketing Director for a leading residential developer with more than a billion dollars in real estate holdings. And that tenure allowed him to become expert in brand management, SEM and strategic marketing. Better yet, it’s allowed him to bring the balance of creative and analytical thinking to every task. In fact, he now oversees both online and offline graphic teams as well as client services. So you never have to feel that pain again. |

Scott Fell – Strategic Marketing
scott@thealbgroup.com
Steeped in the virtual. But grounded in the reality of client expectations. That’s Scott Fell in a nutshell.
As a marketing strategist, Scott pushes the boundaries of what’s technologically possible, offering ALB clients new and better ways of interacting with their customers. Before dazzling The ALB Group with his diverse talents, Scott led Mueller Investments as Director of Marketing, where he oversaw all aspects of client relations and communications, concentrating on interactive initiatives.
Before that, Scott amped up his interactive acumen with a 10-year stint at Sun-Times News Group, where he created the Strategic Marketing division that’s now part of Digital Chicago, the newspaper's interactive and marketing division. As Manager of Strategic Marketing, he built the interactive and direct marketing units from scratch and was key to tapping the power of database marketing for advertisers, via both print and online media. |

Blaine Raab – Director of Business Development

As a sales strategist, he brings more than 20 years of sales and marketing experience to The ALB Group—experience that includes working with everyone from start-ups and small business owners to major multinational corporations.
His mantra: Honesty, responsiveness, responsibility and business acumen. That translates to a clear understanding of client business objectives. And that translates into business success. Yours. |
