Ross Wittenberg provides the creative direction for Greetingz. He was born and raised in Miami, Florida.

His dad grew up in Asbury Park, where he met his wife-to-be at Monmouth College. His tales of driving a taxi in Asbury during its heyday are legendary.

Ross has worked both as an independent designer and as an Art Director for such advertising agencies as Wells, Rich, Greene; Benton & Bowles; Ketchum and Grey. His accounts have included: Arts & Entertainment Network, Bulova, Cotton, Inc., DuPont (pharmaceuticals), New York State, Philip Morris, Proctor & Gamble, Schering-Plough, Showtime and the Sundance Channel.

He has won both national and international awards for his design and typography.

In 2001, after 20 years in Manhattan, Ross decided to buy a home in Asbury. He has been photographing the area ever since and continues to offer his design and illustration services to a variety of corporate and individual clients.

Barbara Grant provides the sales, marketing, and production expertise for Greetingz. She was born and raised in New Jersey.

She has many fond memories of day trips to Asbury with family members — meeting down the shore for picnics with family beach umbrellas laid out in a row and the cousins chasing waves. And at the end of the day there was always a trip to the carousel followed by a visit to the arcade where many a coin was lost by trying to retrieve a toy in the plastic squares there.

Barbara has worked both as an independent print production consultant and as a Production Manager for such agencies as Ogilvy & Mather, Muir Cornelius Moore, and The Quantum Group where she recently produced the Levitra outdoor campaign for that product’s launch. She has an extensive background in pharmaceutical advertising and promotion. Her varied consulting clients have included the NBA, Showtime, Prudential, and Jim Hinchee Design, with whom she produced a hardcover coffee table book for Ricky Lauren.

In 2001, Barbara bought a home in Asbury. In addition to her work for Greetingz, she continues to provide her production consulting skills to clients on a project basis.
