MEET THE TEAM

Eric Elkins
CEO, Chief Strategist
Eric brings more than 20 years of writing, marketing, ePR, social media, and communications expertise to WideFoc.us clients.
A former teacher and scientist, Eric was youth content editor at the Denver Newspaper Agency, and served as co-founder and publisher of Bias Media before joining PR and venture strategies firm Metzger Associates as New Media Practices Manager. In 2007, with companies struggling to understand the value and potential of effective, strategic social media planning, Eric formed WideFoc.us to consult for agencies and corporations, gradually building a team to manage all aspects of community management and content development. Eric serves on nonprofit boards, is an author and keynote speaker, and writes about his food and travel adventures for magazines and online media.
Katie Seiffertt
Director of Operations
Katie is an introverted extrovert who loves a good rum drink and all mysteries except those involving her children’s homework. Being a mom to four kiddos has given her the many necessary skills to manage an office of creatives (having a degree in psychology from Regis University helps, too). When not coordinating mascot Pluto’s demanding public speaking schedule, Katie keeps the firm organized and the staff on deadline. Her (albeit, minimal) free time consists of binge-watching her favorite shows while working on one of her many art projects.


Amanda Dunlap
Director of Strategy and Relationships
Amanda is a free-spirited Pisces from Dallas, Texas who received her BA in Communications from Baylor University. Having worked in social media for nearly a decade, her expertise ranges from diverse client management and effective content strategy to establishing engaging online presences for brands and public figures through digital storytelling and aesthetics. Her extroverted personality enjoys working with people and helping to bring their visions and goals to life. Outside of the (home) office, you can find her sharing her favorite culinary creations, spending time in nature with friends, or tracking the latest astrological forecast.
Molly Deaver
Senior Ad Strategist
Molly was adopted from South Korea when she was four months old and grew up in Roca, Nebraska. She graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in three years with a degree in advertising and public relations and minor in textiles, merchandising, and fashion design. After working as a Communications Director at a small nonprofit, she ventured to Denver to join the WideFoc.us team. Molly uses her deep ad strategy experience and organizational skills to create and manage paid social campaigns that are constantly optimized for performance.
When she’s not working, Molly stays busy being a new mom and enjoys hanging out with her two dogs, online shopping, decorating cookies, and lettering.
