Our Team

The Wild Iris Marketing (formerly AlphaPixel Reach) team hail from diverse backgrounds and that is deliberate! We have expert writers, graphic creators, analytic experts and more! No two clients we serve are the same so why should our team be the same?

Mindy Hanson

Mindy Hanson is the founder of Wild Iris Marketing. She often says she came to digital marketing because no one else wanted to step into the lava pit. Working as a Sales and Marketing Manager for a computer technology company in the 1990’s she saw a need to enter the digital marketing area to get one step ahead of the competition. She developed her first website handwriting HTML code in 1996! She later went to work for small non-profit organizations. It was there she saw the desperate need for budget-friendly, message-driven marketing and outreach. She made it her mission to learn everything she could about these new “social media” channels that were popping up and take full advantage of them to benefit the organizations she was working for. And, Wild Iris Marketing (then AlphaPixel Reach) was born!

Her early experience does not mean her ideas are “old school” or stagnant by any means. Mindy is passionate about staying on top of marketing and general business communication trends. Her ability to bring messages to life and think outside of the usual boundaries makes her clients’ messages unique and impactful. She thrives when working with small businesses and non-profit organizations and prides herself on her ability to optimize their budget.

When Mindy is not working she enjoys traveling, hiking, gardening, reading and having coffee with friends. She is passionate about her community and is an active volunteer and serves on multiple Boards of Directors.

Chris Hanson

CTO Chris Hanson is a technophile with over 40 years of experience with computers. He specializes in graphics, photography and digital media. He has a knack for solving difficult problems effectively and efficiently.

Chris brings years of experience with the “back end” of websites including a thorough understanding and mastery of SSL certificates, DNS records, servers, web mapping and more!

When not in front of a keyboard he enjoys photography, skiing, bicycling, hiking, solving puzzles and searching for lost and hidden things using logic, science and technology. His goal is to someday ski all seven continents.

Jennifer Parrish

Digital Content Creator and organizational mastermind, Jennifer Parrish is originally from the great state of Colorado, but she has lived in Kansas, Nebraska, Mississippi and South Carolina. She currently lives in Illinois. She enjoys reading sci-fi, watching Star Trek and going to GenCon. She retired from the Air Force in 2015 after serving for 20+ years. She is now creating custom jewelry and learning more about social media and how it impacts our daily lives.

Katie Burgoyne

Katie, originally from Florida, moved to Denver in 2009 with her husband, Damon. An accomplished college golfer at Coastal Carolina University, Katie transitioned her love for the sport into a successful career as a golf professional. Seeking new opportunities upon moving to Colorado, she ventured into human resources, a field she excelled in until the birth of their twins in 2015.

In pursuit of a quieter lifestyle, Katie and her family relocated to Pine, CO, where they purchased Amramp Accessibility in January 2019. Under their leadership, the company has been dedicated to enhancing accessibility across Colorado and beyond. Now, Katie is eager for the next chapter in her career. Her passion for connecting small businesses and her expertise in social media make her an excellent fit for the Wild Iris team.

Outside of work, Katie and her family are avid outdoor enthusiasts, enjoying activities such as camping, hiking, and skiing. Additionally, Katie is a certified stand-up paddleboard instructor, always on the lookout for the perfect lake to share her skills.
