Social MediaDetails
At SocialSurge we understand that every business is unique and has their own story to tell. So unlike like other agencies, we pride ourselves on being on a first name basis with our clients, and we stay away from a one size fits all strategy.
Where It All Started
It all started with two high school friends who wanted to make a change. After graduating from high school in Racine and getting degrees from UW-Whitewater, our futures seemed set, however, after some time in the business world, we realized that the normal 9-5 wasn’t for us.
Once we realized that our talents perfectly complemented one another, there was no getting the idea out of our minds. So we created a marketing firm whose main mission was to help small businesses grow using our experience in social media marketing, sales, and analytics.

Hey there! My name is Eric Hess, and you can catch me hanging around downtown Milwaukee. Unlike most people in this industry, I graduated with a finance degree from UW-Whitewater, and I joined the investments field out of college.
I enjoy analyzing numbers, but I fell in love with helping people and building relationships during my first job out of college. That’s exactly what my role at SocialSurge Marketing is, and I’d love to grab a coffee or beer or just chat with you!

Jason Fogt
Content Intern
Hello! I’m Jason Fogt. I grew up in Racine, but now live in Milwaukee while I attend UW-Milwaukee. I’m working towards my degree in Information Science & Technology. My passion for technology is what found my interest in the creation process of digital art and designs. Now, I love working with programs such as Photoshop and Premiere Pro but the best part is learning everything these things can offer and build. Technology really is amazing and never stops surprising me.
