Brian Hasenkamp
Principal Strategist & Advisor
Everything began to gel when the digital market started to take off around the millennium. Brian started off on the path of all things digital, without leaving his past behind. Brian started Asenka in 2002 and has steadily grown with the technology. He’s quite content now to be able to leverage all the creative training along with the digital tracking tools which have evolved into his own matrix for analyzing the effectiveness of digital campaigns that include a key focus on quality, not just quantity.
Brian most enjoys family time with his wife and two young boys. When time beyond that avails, you’ll find him on the mountain bike trails, in the garage working on his Mustang restoration project, or on a rare day, even at the race track. Brian and his family are active in their church as well, leading a couples ministry, teaching children’s church and anything else they might lend a hand in.
Mike Harrigan
Senior Developer
Visual Communications is in Mike’s DNA. Working in his father’s printing business after high school he learned digital prepress and graphic design techniques. During this time the web was in its infancy. Mike was able to start learning basic web design and coding. He was able to grow his skills as the web became more and more complex.
Fast forward to modern web development, Mike built a framework based on WordPress Multisite to rapidly build and deploy 52 sites in 52 week in a niche industry. Launching a site is a feat in and of itself let alone one per week. He has also developed a custom marketing dashboard that aggregates data from various sources through API connections that displays a complete overview of the companies’ marketing initiatives and results. Currently Mike is working with modern JavaScript frameworks to create ultra fast and secure “headless” web applications.
In his free time Mike enjoys going on camping trips with his wife and 3 boys. Together they hike, mountain bike, fish, and relax by a campfire at night. One of Mike’s personal accomplishments was completing the Spartan Race Double Trifecta, this is a series of 6 outdoor obstacle course races, ranging in distances of 5k to 20k, usually taking place on the side of a mountain.
