Willow Ascenzo is a Content Writer and Specialist at Intuitive Websites.
Willow Ascenzo is a storyteller. As a content writer and specialist at Intuitive Websites, Willow weaves ideas and concepts into compelling stories. She creates original content that captures mindshare. Whether it’s an impactful new blog, optimized pillar page copy, a captivating email, or a splashy headline. Willow’s writing helps Intuitive Websites’ clients spark conversations, build communities, and connect with their customers and prospects. In addition, she enjoys the challenge of learning about new industries and clients and creatively telling their stories to the world.
Before joining the powerhouse team of storytellers and content strategists at Intuitive Websites, she worked as an in-house copywriter for six years. She counted many Wisconsin-based startups as her clients. That work prepared her well for the rigors and challenges of writing for Intuitive Websites’ diverse roster of clients and their audiences.
Willow earned a Bachelor of English from Loyola University Chicago, where she majored in English and also minored in physics. As a result of her various studies, she possesses that rare combination of Right Brain and Left Brain talents and perspectives. Her singular approach informs her writing and infuses it with a unique and winning perspective.
When Willow isn’t working hard on formulating, fetching content, and telling brand stories, she’s traversing the bike trails in her lovely city of Madison, Wisconsin, building Gundam figurines, working on writing her own fiction, and reading the masterful works of acclaimed authors Stephen King and Terry Pratchett. And, as if that weren’t enough, she is an ordained minister in the Church of the Latter-Day Dude and officiates the occasional wedding.
Her favorite quote comes from one of her favorite authors:
“Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can.” – Terry Pratchett

Tim Lemke is a Content Specialist at Intuitive Websites
Tim loves ideas and enjoys diving deep into new concepts and areas beyond his expertise. No matter how mundane, every topic offers something fascinating that can deepen our appreciation of how the world works. Tim believes that exploring those concepts and being willing to always ask why allows us to broaden our horizons and find the magic inherent in everyday life.
As a content specialist, Tim uses his inherent curiosity and desire to learn to help Intuitive Website’s clients tell their stories. Compelling content helps to guide the reader through a narrative journey by making them feel a part of the client’s story. Gaining a better understanding of IW’s clients gives Tim the tools to create more meaningful relationships between clients and their customers.
When away from the computer, Tim enjoys traveling with his wife to places not found easily on the map. A film lover, Tim often confounds his family and friends by referencing obscure movies he watched as a child. That they don’t often get his references is more a reflection of their lack of appreciation for B movies rather than all of the time he spent cooped up indoors as an only child.
When summing up his view on life, Tim often reflects on a quote from one of his most significant literary influences, Hunter S. Thompson — Buy the ticket, take the ride. For Tim, this quote symbolizes the idea that once you’ve decided to do something, there’s nothing left but to see it through to the end, regardless of wherever it takes you.

Timothy Lutes is an SEO Specialist at Intuitive Websites.
Timothy Lutes is a master SEO mixologist. He lives to marry data and creativity, the Right Brain and the Left Brain, and produce winning strategies that deliver results for Intuitive Websites’ clients. His keyword research, competitive intelligence, strategy, and optimization efforts deliver superior results for Intuitive Websites’ clients.
Timothy, a self-taught SEO specialist, and web developer, was a precocious prodigy when it came to technology and the early days of the web. An early adopter, and as early as 1995, a fifteen-year-old Timothy turned his obsession and love of the Beatles into a very successful and popular interactive and multimedia website–beatlesonline.com. It was so popular, in fact, that the local newspaper editor offered a teenage Timothy a job. In addition, that same website was referenced by CNN in a feature on the Beatles. Timothy carries this passion and fascination with everything web-related to his SEO role at Intuitive Websites.
When Timothy’s not helping Intuitive Websites’ clients slay the competition and converting visitors into buyers, he’s banging the skins as a drummer in a punk rock band, listening to and collecting music, consuming sci-fi and physics books, and geeking out on Star Trek.
His favorite quote is:
“When the going gets weird, the weird turns professional.” – Hunter S. Thompson

Jenn Boedeker is an SEO Specialist at Intuitive Websites.
Jenn (with two N’s) is an open book – brimming with enthusiasm and positivity, but she also loves to judge – websites that is.
That’s because being an SEO guru means judging keywords and what others are doing all day, every day. Her mission is simple – create extraordinary websites that strike the right balance of being useful to visitors and being understood by search engines.
A master scrutinizer, she especially loves to look at unfiltered user searches to get to the root of user intent. She is a firm believer that not all users find a product or service in the same way and she gets especially excited when she makes a recommendation. With anticipation like that of waiting for the tooth fairy, Jenn can’t wait to watch her ideas move the needle and improve her client’s website performance.
Prior to joining IW, Jenn has worked for a number of leading agencies and attributes her professional success to the amazing mentors she’s had along the way who gave her the freedom to explore all of the areas of digital marketing to find her fastball – SEO!
When Jenn isn’t making SEO recommendations, she’s having fun with friends and family – walking her dogs, playing cards, singing karaoke terribly, and watching the birds and squirrels in her birdfeeder.
Her favorite quote:
“If you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.”
-God Entity from Futurama – Godfellas
