Why are we called NameSpark? It’s because we know your business name is important to you and you want it to be known, trusted, and found.
You’ve worked hard to build a brand and everything it represents. You invest time and resources back into your community, treat customers well, and often go the extra mile.
A good name should be easy to find. 82% of local searches online are followed up with a phone call.
So why is your name and information not visible? We can help you diagnose and solve that problem – at a price you can afford.
Kris is passionate about helping empower small local businesses and nonprofits to market themselves successfully online. Starting his own business has always been a dream, so Kris started NameSpark in 2016. Kris has been working in business development and digital marketing since 2007 and sent his first tweet on behalf of a small business in 2008. He returned to school in 2012 and earned his M.S. in Internet Marketing from Full Sail University.
Kris is also involved in the community and volunteers his time with several organizations including the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, Lancaster City Alliance, Lancaster & Lebanon Habitat for Humanity, AMA of Central PA, and the One World Festival Planning Committee.
Kris enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, attending concerts, spending time outdoors soaking up the sun, traveling, and watching sports.

Dawn is thrilled to be a part of the Namespark team, crafting social media ad copy that helps brands rise above the noise and pique their audience’s interest. As a human writer, she writes content designed for the human readers businesses want to build relationships with — while following best practices to help elevate performance in search results. On a personal note, Dawn is a self-described “vegan-wannabe” who loves to work out, go camping with her husband (in their “hotel on wheels,” a.k.a. Travel trailer), hike, hang out with her super-cool daughter, and implement ways to make her home more eco-friendly. She currently serves as vice chair and board member for Ephrata Area Rehabilitation Services (EARS, Inc.), a local non-profit organization providing services and programs for adults with autism and intellectual disorders.
