AdShark Marketing is a Digital Marketing Agency with headquarters based in Fargo, North Dakota. It began with two young entrepreneurs who were passionate about Internet Marketing and wanted to build something awesome. It’s fitting that the two founders met as the result of a Google search. Rick Berg, the original founder of AdShark Marketing, looked to Google to research other local companies that were offering similar services. He found Fargo Web Strategy as one of the Google’s top results. Sean Maki was the proprietor behind Fargo Web Strategy, and Rick reached out for a meeting. The two realized their skills complimented each other well. They shared a vision of building a company that delivers revenue-driven results. Three days later, their two companies merged and a new AdShark Marketing was born.
After merging in August 2013, the AdSharks were fortunate enough to see some early success. They were able to deliver amazing results for their clients and started to grow. Now their team is larger and looking forward to adding more. The AdSharks strongly believe in two things: driving sales and leads for their clients and creating an awesome work environment. They believe that if they can do those two things well and hire the best people, then everything else will fall into place.

Executive Events panelist 8.16.17: Cash Flow Luncheon Executive Expo Breakout Session presenter 1.24.18: Raising Capital
Neil is a serial entrepreneur, a natural problem solver and business leader. 
After a successful career in engineering and infrastructure development for the University of Washington, Neil moved into sales. Two years of selling medical services to physicians uncovered a new opportunity as laser aesthetics were just becoming popular. Neil’s company Laser Advantage, LLC worked with doctors in seven states to jointly open and operate laser aesthetics clinics. After selling the line of clinics, he recognized the next opportunity: to consult with physicians and help them better manage, grow and operate their practices and clinics. He successfully grew Laser Advantage Consulting to a multi-million dollar business operating across all 50 states and 7 provinces.
After years of working with medical practices, he understood the broader challenges facing many small and medium business owners: businesses owners are generally not versed in finance and how to interpret standard financial reports. Upon realizing that half of small businesses fail after 4-5 years – even if they are profitable, Neil knew there had to be a better way. And so, Profit Pros® was born. Neil worked with local businesses in his home town of Fargo to develop and refine the concepts that are now codified in his SAAS product, Profit Pros® Profit Recovery Analysis Platform. Working with business advisors and CPAs, Profit Pros® has served over 200 businesses, and has ingested around 3 billion dollars into the Profit Recovery Analysis Platform, generating over $200,000,000 in profits recovered and counting.
Neil has served on the Fargo Rotary International Board of Directors as well as the Fargo Business Network International Board of Directors. His interests include golf, travel and spending time with family.
