Clay Tyler
Managing Partner

I was born and raised in the small town of Elkmont, AL, and had a very early love for all things digital. I attended Troy University, and I continued to be imbued with all things technological. After leaving Troy, I started in traditional media and quickly adapted to the ever-evolving digital ad landscape. I’ve continued to expand my knowledge of digital ad technologies and strategy, and I’m excited to be at the forefront of it.

I’m also a husband to a patient and loving wife and father to two wonderful boys, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

What do I feel is unique about CTR Response?
CTR Response will always focus on solving client’s needs with a high degree of transparency. Our transparency goes beyond clear reporting of results, but rather a complete understanding of why we recommend the strategies we use and how they are implemented. We want our client’s to benefit from our advertising efforts and develop a new understanding and knowledge of digital advertising.

Ryan Meisch
Managing Partner

I was born and raised in Illinois and got my start in the media industry in 2012 as an account executive for a local television station in Rockford, IL. From there, I’ve worked in various advertising sales positions in Chicago and eventually worked my way into leadership positions at various television stations. Seeing the media landscape shifting quickly into the digital space, I spent many years working in traditional media and immersing myself in different digital ad technologies that drive forward commerce. As a result, it allowed me to have a deep understanding of the media landscape from all sides, giving me the ability to provide the perfect solutions for our clients.

Client Focus/Partnership vs. Vendor:
At the end of the day, I want our clients to understand that CTR Response’s focus will always be education first, strategy second. Digital advertising for a client shouldn’t be calculus, but many of our peers in this space present it as such. Digital marketing is a vast wilderness with many hurdles and an ever-changing landscape. We’re here to simplify the process and deliver results. Our process is a complete team effort, and we’re ready to go to work for you.

Mason Thornton
Digital Media Specialist

Hi, my name is Mason Thornton, and I was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama. After attending Ashworth College, I discovered my passion for digital marketing. During my time in college, I learned how to find creative and innovative ways to promote products, and it was then that I fell in love with this field. At just 19 years old, I started my own business, providing social media and advertising services to various companies in the South Mississippi region. I am thrilled to have recently landed my dream position at CTR Response, where I am excited to continue growing and learning in digital marketing. In my free time, I love spending time with my wife, and together, we are planning for an exciting future.

Mary Helen Bethune
Paid Search Specialist

Being from Birmingham, Alabama, naturally I attended the University of Alabama where I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree. Shortly after, I found myself landing my first “big girl” job at a local advertising agency. I learned all the ins and outs of paid media and fell in love with how fast paced the industry is. With over five years of experience in the digital ad space, I have always been drawn to paid media-especially Google products. Do they change almost daily? Yes, but that is part of the challenge and creates growth. It’s a never ending puzzle, and I love that in my role at CTR Response I have all of the pieces to it-I just have to put them together. Outside of my professional life I enjoy spending time with my husband, crocheting, hiking, and baking. My husband and I have two cats and a dog who are our whole worlds (i.e they run our worlds).
