I'm Hans, CEO of buzzFanatic. I like helping others get their businesses heard. Here is a little on how it all came to this. My work and life experience is quite varied, and all compliment each other well. I graduated from Kent State University with a degree in business administration, majoring in marketing.

From there, I went on to do such things as working as a business administrator for the fraud department of May Company, handling fraud claims and calls from people panicking from the stress of being fraud victims. From there, I moved on to web programming and design, and buzz marketing on the web. I expanded my design and business knowledge further by doing print design, printing, and data processing for Miller's Presort.

Now, I have taken all the skills I learned and started my own business, buzzFanatic. I dedicate my time to helping other businesses with their marketing. This is mostly done with social media marketing, a.k.a. buzz marketing on the web. You can also talk to me if you would like a simple website or print piece done for you. Just send me a message and I will be glad to work with you and your goals.
