Jonathan Kamin

I relocated with my family to Raleigh over a dozen years ago from the Boston suburbs. My career in the business automation and efficiency space started over 20 years ago and have worked with businesses of all sizes.

With my father and 2 grandfather's who were entrepreneurs, I made the decision to start, Preferred Digital Solutions and focus on small to medium sized businesses in the Raleigh area.

Preferred Digital Solutions is a full service digital marketing agency that is structured to work with businesses of all sizes and budgets. This structure and an analytical approach to digital marketing gives me the flexibility to work with the wide array of businesses in the Triangle NC region. I would be happy to speak with any business owner about how to grow their business regardless of their current budget.

Boost to Local Economy. Money spent at local businesses stay in the local community and boost the local economy.
Strong Local Non-Profit Community. Local businesses invest and support much more greatly in local non-profits than national companies.
