Like every good success story, Sapphire Media Groups starts at the bottom. Back in 2017, It was Matt, Forrest, and their two offers. Just them against the world. After months of facing issues with offers not getting traffic, and money going down the drain, they decided it was time to take matters into their own hands.
They started running their own traffic; from here it was sink or swim. But not long after came Ben – their knight in shining armor whose specialty was running native traffic -, and he helped bring them out of their funk.
This power trio quickly became successful. After a few years of working by themselves, they decided there was nowhere else to go but up; and Sapphire Media Group was conceived. During the height of the Pandemic they began the arduous process of hiring staff, and within the last year have built an office of 12 and counting.

I work hard 9 to 5 then head home to spend time with my wonderful family and friends. Whenever possible we pack up the brood and travel the country or explore the great outdoors.

Work is easy when you enjoy what you do. When I’m not working, I like spending time with my family at the park, zoo, aquarium, and riding dirt bikes in the desert. I am a child at heart, so I do enjoy playing video games whenever I have time.

Life is too short to only be good at one thing – Specialization Is For Insects! I fly airplanes, play instruments, speak two languages, and the rest I’m still working on!

Carlos B.
Developer
As a Full Stack Developer, I am as adept at restoring databases as I am restoring peace after Wi-Fi outages cause household meltdowns. Whether it’s mastering the latest JavaScript framework or mastering the art of the latest teenage attitude, I try to tackle each project with a coder’s precision and a dad’s perseverance. Quote “Fix One thing, make everything else worse.”
Trey Y.

I love the opportunity to grow and become a better business leader, but when I am not working I am hanging out with my girlfriend, friends, or my bulldog Elliot. Where you can find us out golfing or at home watching the Suns play.
Kaylee N.
Offer Manager
As an international nomad, I’ve called the UAE, Bahrain, Sweden, the UK, and now Arizona home. In my spare time, I moonlight as an unpaid Uber driver for my two brilliant yet spirited children, who are enrolled in more extracurricular activities than I can count. I also dance like nobody’s watching, which is accurate since everyone is too busy checking their phones.
