Passion to push through a tedious project to see it come alive is something you don’t see very day. At Red Palm, we bring the passion, creativity and eagerness to work every day. Then we whip out the pixels, ink and mouse clicks to bring your ideas to life. (Texting, video chats and speaker phones optional.)

TARA VINCENT
DIGITAL MARKETING ROCK STAR
Tara brings energy and a fantastic sense of diligence to our modern social and video efforts. With her natural millenial ability as an “html-whisperer”, she is managing website content, creating entertaining videos and teaching clients how to use Instagram and SnapChat. Most days, Tara can be found with her head buried in her one of many monitors, SnapChat going bezerk in her iPhone and up to her #eyeballs with video transitions!
As a full-time digital marketing student at St. Petersburg College, Tara is in her third year as the President of the campus media club and second year as a campus Senator. Although her primary focus is on video production, her responsibilities extend to oversight of the many digital students (photography, illustrators, video, advertisers) and engage them in campus projects, oversight with the campus TV studio which broadcasts on Spectrum. Tara’s greatest leadership strength is her ability to tap into a person’s best method of learning and get them to excel on projects.
