Brittany Tapparo

Brittany has been with Better Marketing since day one, bringing creative strategy, big energy, and a genuine passion for helping local businesses grow. She’s our ultimate hype queen and loves creating content that connects, builds community, and gets results.

She’s also a proud mom to baby Mason and loves soaking up every moment with him. When she’s not with Mason, you’ll often find her supporting local community events or bringing heart, humor, and enthusiasm to the office.

Chenin Rowe

graphic designer / Marketing account manager

Chenin is a Vacaville local and our design-obsessed creative with a passion for turning ideas into memorable visual experiences. Chenin holds a BFA in Art & Design from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, with an extensive background in graphic design, branding, photography, UX/UI, and digital media.

She loves helping passionate business owners bring their ideas to life through intentional, engaging design—whether she’s building a brand, designing a website, or creating content. When she’s not designing, she’s probably visiting an art museum or working on her bookbinding.

Dewy oversees office morale, brand paw-sitivity, and all campaigns involving treats. A certified 100% Good Boy—according to actual emergency care paperwork—he once sprained his tail from wagging it too enthusiastically. If that isn’t commitment to customer engagement, we don’t know what is.

As one of the featured winners of the 2026 Dogs of Vacaville Calendar, Dewy already knows a thing or two about successful personal branding. He’s also a devoted big brother to Mason, although he prefers not to share the spotlight—or anyone’s attention.

At 80 pounds, Dewy considers himself the ideal lap dog. He keeps spirits high, ignores all professional boundaries, and specializes in French-style client relations, meaning he may try to make out with you. His marketing philosophy is simple: be authentic, generate enthusiasm, and never underestimate the conversion power of a handsome face.
