Anthony Tanner
Anthony started his first agency in 1995, building dynamic websites wired into mainframes, phone systems, and proprietary platforms. Clients included U.S. Bancorp, Honeywell, Polaris, and United Healthcare. In 2011 he ran technology and marketing for an e-commerce holding company that Inc. ranked the second-fastest-growing retailer in the country, doubling year-over-year sales of one of its stores in four months and nearly tripling them in five.
Marketing and engineering have never been separate disciplines for him. He has personally built the landing pages, funnels, ad campaigns, email programs, and long-form copy behind direct-response work that produced 1,000+ new members in under three weeks for a national membership association, repeated it six months later, and moved more than a third of the existing customer base to renew early at a higher rate.
At TopHands he owns solution architecture and the delivery methodology: how work gets defined before anything is built, how it gets verified by a different model than the one that wrote it, and what has to be true before it reaches a client.
