Four years ago Tim Edwards and Gary Bredow began working together, a partnership that has since spawned three startups in Corktown.
The pair now run Edwards Marketing Solutions,
Big Bang Films and Popcorn App, which employ four people between the three ventures. Big Bang Films has a full film production studio and office on Brooklyn Street. Popcorn App has focused on creating mobile apps for the Edwards Marketing Solutions and other customers.
"My passion is the app/website/marketing end of it," says Tim Edwards, marketing director of
Edwards Marking Solutions. "I want to increase our client base and keep working with the small businesses we have been working with."
Popcorn App has created a number of apps for local companies. Among those are the app for Bucharest Grill, which allows users to place their food orders through the mobile app. Edwards expects to continue creating similar apps for other local companies and expand its film work with Big Bang Films.
"I would love to increase my sales staff," Edwards says. "The difficulty is finding someone with the same fire as me to go out and do it."
