Elissa Nauful
Elissa is Founder and CEO of Ballywho Interactive. Following a 15-year marketing, media and advertising career with top broadcasting corporations, Elissa started her own marketing agency in 2006. Her work with various clients made her realize a pressing need for specific social media and content management options. This idea was brought forward to now partner Scott Plumley and the two decided to team up and create Ballywho Interactive as a separate business venture in 2009.
Elissa’s vision for Ballywho is a nationwide company that utilizes its revolutionary business model to directly address the increasing and timely need for social media services for a variety of industries, individuals, and entities—regardless of size or location. Her Ballywho strategy combines marketing with social media to increase a client’s buzz through organic, grassroots expansion.
One of her best leadership traits is her strong belief in community. Along with being engaged and building strong community connections within the many social spaces she is emerged in, she commits her time to giving back. She contributes to a number of marketing, health, and veterans’ organizations throughout the United States. She is a member of the American Marketing Association and Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce, and she serves on the board of the national nonprofit “Our Veterans, Our Heroes.” She is also a Paul Harris Fellow and has previously served as the chair of the Tampa Bay Chapter of the American Diabetes Association and on the board of Wheels of Success.
When Elissa is not working or tweeting she enjoys spending her time with her two children. Family is a very important and integral part of Elissa’s life, and as a business owner and leader, she extends that to her staff. Her leadership, commitment, business savvy and marketing know-how all contribute to the success of Ballywho today.

Scott loves being his own boss and the freedom that comes along with it. When he’s not tinkering with a computer at the office or building a webpage for a client, Scott can be found at the gym getting buff for the impending zombie invasion or out spending time with his two kids.
