Kevin
President/Founder
Kevin Gottesman founded Gott Advertising in January of 2007 with the hope that keywords could slay dragons. Quaker Schools, an early Scrabble obsession and a family full of card carrying liberals, language professors, artists & musicians set him on an inevitable path of starting an Online Advertising Agency for nonprofits.
After gaining print and radio advertising experience at UNC Chapel Hill and in New York City, he migrated to San Francisco in 1993, waiting patiently for internet advertising to be invented. He enjoys whale watching, hummingbird races, crisp volleys, swing jazz, egg nog ice cream & traveling to places like Vietnam, New Zealand, Japan or a warm tennis tournament.

Eric
Analytics Director
Eric Squair has captained the Analytics & Tracking ship for Gott Advertising since early 2014. The Big E started his non profit career dressing in a furry koala suit to solicit donations in the Sydney subway at age 19. Sadly, there is no photographic evidence.
Since then his tenure at Greenpeace, and as an independent consultant for hundreds of nonprofits has helped Gott Advertising clients untangle Analytics & Conversion Tracking. Based in Toronto, Eric can be found sailing on Lake Ontario, which explains his fondness for seagulls.
