April Wilson

I was born and raised in Iowa. I continue to reside here with my husband, Wayne. We have 3 children and 2 fur babies, Ruby & Pippa. I bring over 15 years of direct mail experience to the table and over 20 years in marketing. I am so lucky to have such positive, outgoing people to surround myself with – from clients to teammates. It is what keeps me passionate about what I do.
When I’m not busy helping my clients develop creative ways to bring in new customers and market their brand, you will find me teaching Jazzercise classes, binge-watching Netflix, or playing Farkle with my family.

I was born in England and have lived in the United States since I was just 9 months old. My wife, April, and I have 3 children and 2 dogs. I have over 13 years of marketing experience with a primary focus on direct mail and postcards. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, golfing, playing pool with my dad, reading, walking my beast of a golden retriever, improving my health, trying to make a positive impact on my family, and making people laugh. I’m also a big Vikings fan. It’s easy to be really positive right before the season starts…
I’m proud of the company that April, Bruce, Andrew, and I took a leap of faith on together to create in 2015 and everything we have created for our clients and our families since. We have a great group of people, working together to make a huge impact for our clients, their families, and their communities. What’s not to love about that?

I was born in St. Louis but was rasied in Springfield, Illinois. Because of my husband, Cam, of 32 years, I have had the opportunity to live in Florida, Utah, Georgia, and ended up in Iowa 3 years ago. It’s nice to be closer to home. We have a daughter and a grandson that I love to spend time with.
I have over 34 years of experience working in the printing industry. I have worked in customer service, management, and sales and I love taking care of my customers and making their job easier. When I am not working, I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time with family and friends.

I reside in Cedar Falls, Iowa with my amazing wife and two teenage sons. The boys keep us very busy with their various sporting schedules but we wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m blessed to work for a company that values family over anything and allows me to be flexible with my schedule when needed.
I have 20 years of experience in the graphic design/advertising/problem-solving arena. Whether the job is big or small, my goal is to deliver the client’s message in an efficient and effective way all the while staying on brand standards. Success is based on results and we’ve proven we can deliver!

I grew up in the North Iowa farming community of Osage. Like a lot of eager college grads, I fled to the heartland for what I thought were greener pastures. But, I realized after my daughter, Emma, was born that those pastures might just be the best place to raise my most precious crop. So, I moved back to Iowa 16 years ago.
When I’m not finding ways to help my customers increase their revenues with postcard and direct mail marketing, I’m reading, pecking away at my version of the great American novel, or spending time at the car races where you can always find Iowa’s signature food item – the pork tenderloin sandwich.

Born and raised in Kansas City, I lived there until August 2019 when my wife and daughter, and I decided that if we are going to work hard, we were also going to play hard. What better place to play than the beach? In August of 2019, we moved to Bradenton, Florida to be close to great beaches.
I have been in the restaurant business all of my life working every position from dishwasher to owner and working for a small mom-and-pop owned restaurant/bar to one of the largest restaurant companies in the world. I bring the experience as an Owner/Operator to Inside the Box Marketing and I am excited to tell you how this marketing tool helped me as a former customer with 2 different brands.
