Joshua Traubert - Website Design
Joshua Traubert
Website Design
Josh Traubert has done a little bit of everything at Third Marble Marketing and these days, he's putting all of those experiences to work behind the screen. From meeting business owners face-to-face and talking marketing to building the websites and landing pages that help those same businesses grow, Josh has come a long way in his three years at TMM.
As a Web Designer, Josh specializes in websites, SEO, and landing page optimization. He loves taking something that can feel intimidating to business owners, like the digital world, and making it easier to understand. Whether he's building a new website, fine-tuning a landing page, or digging through an audit, Josh is focused on one thing: making sure the work actually helps the business.
Josh's path to web design started on the other side of the marketing conversation. While attending James Madison University (Go Dukes!), he became involved with AEPi and found himself organizing philanthropy events. Sponsorships gave him his first real opportunity to connect with local business owners and talk to them about marketing, and he quickly discovered that he really enjoyed it. After graduating with a BS in Communications and a minor in Music Industry, Josh joined Third Marble Marketing, where he spent time networking, meeting one-on-one with business owners, and helping them understand how Google Ads and SEO could help them compete with the big guys.
Three years later, Josh has made the jump from talking about digital marketing to building it. One accomplishment he's particularly proud of is his work with Universal Hot Tubs, where a landing page he created helped triple their conversions. Not a bad return on a page.
Josh is known around TMM for being efficient, helpful, and quiet, although his willingness to jump in and take something off a teammate's plate tends to speak louder than he does. He's also learned an important lesson during his time here: ask questions and don't be afraid to say you don't know. For Josh, there's always something new to learn, and there's always another problem to solve.
Outside of Third Marble, Josh's definition of “quiet” gets a little more... flexible. He's a die-hard sports fan, spends plenty of time at the gym and shooting hoops. Apparently he decided that wasn't enough excitement, so he also moonlights as Flingo, the wacky flamingo hot dog vendor for the Richmond Flying Squirrels. Yes, somewhere between web design and SEO, Josh found himself wearing a giant flamingo suit and selling hot dogs at baseball game. And honestly, we're here for it!
Josh grew up in Pittsburgh, spent his later childhood in Simsbury, Connecticut, and eventually landed in Richmond after graduating from JMU. The combination of Pittsburgh's city culture and Connecticut's outdoor lifestyle made Central Virginia feel like a pretty natural fit.
At the heart of Josh's work is a belief he's carried with him since his early days at Third Marble: everyone should have the opportunity to succeed. Whether he's sitting across the table from a business owner, building their next landing page, or cheering them on from the sidelines, Josh enjoys being part of the process that helps local businesses get that opportunity.
And if his favorite quote is any indication, Josh is pretty good at keeping things in perspective: “Tomorrow is a mystery; yesterday was history, but today is a gift. That's why we call it the present.”
