Marge Buttray
I am your frontline contact to discover your business goals, offer suggestions, create a proposal, and manage your account. For over 25 years, I have helped businesses present their brand and services using print and digital strategies. In 1999 I began my career with Storey Marketing, our independent pharmacy marketing division and in 2021 I purchased the business. Shortly after my team and I realized that we needed a new company division to better serve businesses in other industries, Blue Canopy Marketing was born.
I earned my BA in Biology from Lycoming College and a minor in Economics. My biology degree was a strength when working with pharmacies and my years of continuing education in marketing have allowed me to serve my clients well. I recently completed my certification as a Digital Marketing Professional by the Digital Marketing Institute and the American Marketing Association. In addition, I listen to marketing professionals on daily podcasts.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband, three children, and our dog. When we are not running our children to activities, we enjoy spending time at the lake, playing games, and watching movies.
Natalie Shaffer
Digital Marketing Strategist
As a passionate communications and marketing professional, I thrive on connecting with people and diving deep into their unique stories and business aspirations. At Storey Marketing, I specialize in amplifying our clients’ online presence and optimizing internal processes. My expertise lies in crafting captivating content, developing creative campaigns, and spearheading strategic growth for both our company and our clients.
The dynamic world of communication and marketing is anything but mundane. I relish the challenge of staying ahead in this fast-evolving field, constantly adapting and innovating to meet the latest trends and demands.
Outside of work, I can likely be found taking photos, being a foodie exploring new dining spots, and spending time with my husband and our dog or our family and friends.
Marge buttray
Project Success Coordinator
Getting things done is my specialty.
I studied business administration and marketing at Edinboro University and have spent the last decade solving problems. I have a variety of experiences including building departments from the ground up, product development and launches, strategic business planning, creating and implementing marketing strategies, trade show planning, and more.
I believe in honest conversations, shared goals, setting expectations, accountability, and that everything is “figureoutable”. So, let’s talk about how we can work together to help your business or organization.
While I do enjoy managing projects, I primarily work to support my houseplant habit, two dogs, and the urge to buy another motorcycle. When I’m not in the office, I can typically be found doing something related to those or spending time with family and friends.
Josh Cool
Senior Software Engineer
I help bring your new snazzy responsive website to life and oftentimes, I get to create new business web-based software solutions that may never have existed before. One of the best things about working at Blue Canopy is that I have the ability to take the research and development I have learned and immediately apply that knowledge to help strengthen our technology services and enhance your website and digital services to be “next-level”.
Outside of work I enjoy composing instrumentals, gardening, going for walks, camping/exploring, finding new hobbies, spending time with my family, and going to the zoo.
