TQS Public Radio welcomes new personality [VIDEO]

TQS Public Radio presents: Alyssa Boczar, a blond-haired woman wearing a dark red-colored cardigan, sits in front of a radio station-style microphone. White letters over an orange, brown, and olive background form "tqs" in the style of the NPR radio logo. "PUBLIC RADIO" is printed in gray beneath the logo.

Is TQS Public Radio a real thing? No, it is not. Is Alyssa Boczar a real person? Most definitely, yes. As our new senior account manager here at Quilted Squirrel, Alyssa will be putting her 10-ish years of marketing experience to the test every Monday through Friday. But what will she be doing?

TQS takes on the supernatural

TQS takes on the supernatural: Tombstones and jack-o-lanterns sit beneath a full moon as a ghost rises amid the mist of a spooky cemetery.

Here’s what we think, believe, and want to believe. Lisa Hinterberger, Graphic Designer Sadly, I have no paranormal story to share. But I like to think people […]

Client Spotlight! WNY Tennis Clubs [VIDEO]

TQS web development: Tyler, a bearded man wearing glasses, a dark cap, and a Bill Cosby-style sweater, gives sideways glance into the camera in his home studio.

Who doesn’t love a good game of tennis? Apart from slow and slovenly buffoons such as myself, people seem to really like it. And for good reason. It’s classy. It’s competitive. It’s—from what I understand—an excellent cardiovascular activity. Our boss is actually a pretty big tennis guy, so when the South Towns and Village Glen […]

TQS says goodbye to Emily 🥲

Emily, a lovely young woman wearing a white and black striped shirt and black pants, rests her arm around a cardboard cutout of a man in a suit. The accompanying text reads: "TQS SAYS FAREWELL to our beloved Emily."

Who the heck are James and Jerry? Well, they both work for us, so that’s a start. James is our copywriter and, uh, content… guy. And Jerry is one of the original Quilted Squirrel co-founders; he bounced after a few years in the mix, but now he’s back! Why, you ask? The answer to that […]
