At Hot Corner Digital, our mission is to do great work for good people.
We’re guided by these 6 core values:
We take our work seriously, not ourselves.
We’re proactive, not reactive.
We are curious and take joy in solving problems.
We are present in all aspects of our lives.
We are intentional with our time and our work.
We strive to do good and make an impact.
Behind the Name
The name “Hot Corner” is a lighthearted reference to baseball, where third base is considered “The Hot Corner.”
We consider great digital marketers to be a lot like great third basemen — multidimensional, highly skilled, with lightning-fast reflexes.
Great digital marketers are both creative and analytical, and can quickly turn data into actionable insights. We are willing and able to adapt to new technologies, new platforms, and unexpected changes in our accounts.
Plus, we’re expected to consistently deliver great results… and occasionally hit some home runs.
The Hot Corner Roster
We are a small but mighty team of digital problem-solvers — each with a defined role, a shared playbook, and a commitment to doing great work for good people. We get excited about brainstorming sessions, love developing fresh strategies, and can’t wait to hit the ground running with new ideas. We work quickly, efficiently, and effectively – and always manage to have a few laughs along the way!
Ross Tudor
Co-Founder
I stumbled into the digital marketing world in 2012, getting my start as an SEO Copywriter for some large, national brands. I quickly took an interest in PPC, and spent my formative years in the industry working for a small, tight-knit paid advertising agency. I love working with clients across a variety of industries, and get genuine joy out of helping people grow their businesses.
I’ve been incredibly lucky to work for some brilliant people who invested in my development, and who demanded exceptional work without sacrificing life’s more important things. My goal with Hot Corner Digital is to pay that experience forward.
Outside of work, you can most often find me at a playground, park, or river with my beautiful wife, our hilarious daughter, and our beloved family dog (the aforementioned “more important things” in life). Regrettably, I’m a huge sports (SPORTS!) fan, and will occasionally invest a nominal amount of my discretionary income into predicting the outcome of certain games. When time allows, I also enjoy taking aim at flagsticks around Central Virginia, and am on a mission to reclaim the single-digit handicap I once held near and dear.
Stephen Drisaldi
Co-Founder
With over 11 years in digital marketing, I’ve had the privilege of seeing the industry from every angle—sometimes all in one day. I started out with a small team, grew with them into a large, very cool agency, and eventually went in-house, where I got an invaluable look at things from the client side. Testing and optimizing are my bread and butter. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of making a change and letting the data confirm that we’re onto something… or not!
I love helping businesses grow and every project is a chance to stoke that fire. But work shouldn’t consume us entirely—we’re here to live, too and that’s something I’m proud of our team for embracing. That’s why I’m passionate about creating a culture that balances achieving great results with living well. I’m proud that our team not only delivers for our clients but also takes the time to pursue passions, and the things that make life meaningful.
A proud University of South Carolina alum, I now call Charleston, SC, home, where I live with my amazing wife and our three very energetic girls. Outside of work, you’ll find me lifting objects and putting them back down at the gym, cheering (sometimes loudly, most of the time sadly) for Manchester United and my Gamecocks, hitting the slopes, exploring new places with the family, or deep into a dystopian novel or video game—depending on how much time the kids allow me that day.
J’Tanya Idiodi
Digital Strategist
My digital marketing journey started at a small social media agency 13 years ago. After working with clients as an account and project manager, I became intrigued by the rise in Facebook advertising. After many months of trial and error, I launched the agency’s Paid Social Media practice. Since then, I’ve traveled extensively and immersed myself in all aspects of digital marketing and advertising.
I’m truly passionate about the way digital marketing sparks curiosity, creativity, innovation, and collaboration. Having worked with companies from small businesses to Fortune 100 companies, it was important that I find a place that allows me to pursue my passions both personally and professionally. Hot Corner Digital makes it easy for me to show up each day knowing that I get to do what I love while also giving back to my family and community.
Outside of work, you’ll find me MUbering (Mom Uber) my kids around the city, exploring the world by plane or train, attending Broadway shows, collecting an obscene number of coffee cups, and cheering for our beloved fourth quarter Falcons. RISE UP!
Nate Cleveland
Account Manager
After 6 years in marketing, doing everything from paid social to large-scale event planning, it’s rare that I’ve had two workdays that were the same!
I kicked off my career in the logistics industry and worked alongside excellent people, gaining valuable insights into the role digital marketing plays in growing a business. In 2023, I felt the push to expand my reach and work with a diverse group of clients in a small agency environment, making Hot Corner Digital the perfect fit. I love learning from our clients, stepping into their world, and developing unique digital strategies to help them grow.
After graduating from JMU (Go Dukes!) and spending a few years in the Shenandoah Valley, I now call Richmond, VA home. When I’m not working, you might find me hanging with my wonderful wife and our giant orange cat (he’s on a diet!), playing guitar and jamming with friends, cruising down some mountain bike trails, or cheering for my beloved Patriots on Sunday (we’re back baby!)
Mackenzie Scully
Account Manager
I kicked off my career in the home building industry, where I learned how to see the world through the consumer’s eyes, especially during the biggest purchase of their lives. That experience, combined with my focus on data and behavior, now guides how I create digital marketing strategies that connect with people, anticipate their needs, and drive real results.
I always knew I wanted to dive deeper into digital marketing, and Hot Corner Digital was the perfect place to make that leap. Here, I get to combine my passion for research and strategy with creativity, curiosity, and a genuine love for helping businesses grow. My favorite motto is “you learn something new every day”, and that’s exactly what my days are like.
After bouncing around a few cities, I now call Suffolk, VA home with my two dogs, Penelope and Skipper. Outside of work, I am probably baking (sourdough has taken over my life), attending a concert, hanging out with friends, and on Saturdays I’m cheering on (okay, yelling at) my alma mater, the University of Alabama. ROLL TIDE!
