At Gargle, we believe strong relationships are at the heart of meaningful marketing. Behind every campaign, every post, and every phone call, there’s a real person who cares about your success. This Thanksgiving, we’re pausing to reflect on what we’re most grateful for: our clients, our colleagues, and the shared purpose that fuels everything we do.
Our team is made up of talented, creative professionals who live and breathe dental marketing. We work hard, we laugh often, and we genuinely care about helping dental practices grow. This season, we’re celebrating the people behind the product — the Gargle team — and sharing what we’re thankful for this year.
Meet the Gargle Team: The Real People Behind Your Dental Marketing
Jeff Richins – President
“I help oversee Gargle’s day-to-day operations and support our account and partnership teams. My role is about empowering our people so they can deliver real results for our clients.
I’m grateful for an incredible team that truly cares about our clients and one another. I’m also thankful for the trust and enthusiasm of our clients — you’re the reason we do this work. Personally, I’m thankful for my wife, children, and the gift of good health.”
Deidra Baker – VP of Process & People

This year, I’m especially thankful for Gargle’s emphasis on work-life balance. As a mom of two young kids, I don’t have to choose between my family and my career — I can succeed in both. That culture of care makes a world of difference.”

I’m thankful to work in a company that genuinely values its employees and supports work-life balance. I love my team, I love my job, and I’m grateful to be part of something that makes a difference.”

“I help optimize marketing strategies through organic and paid advertising. Coming from a dental family, I understand how impactful great marketing can be.
I’m thankful for my family, my girlfriend, and good health. Outside work, I enjoy painting, soccer, and staying active. I appreciate that Gargle encourages a healthy balance between work and life.”
A Year of Gratitude at Gargle
2025 has been a year of growth, creativity, and meaningful collaboration. We introduced new services, streamlined our processes, and supported hundreds of dental practices in strengthening their online presence. Through it all, one thing remained constant: our appreciation for the people who make it possible.
We’re thankful for the clients who trust us, the team members who bring our work to life, and the partnerships that encourage innovation. We’re not just building websites or running ads — we’re building relationships and success stories.
As Deidra Baker, our VP of Process & People, often says, “We want to be the last dental marketing agency our clients will ever need.” That’s only possible because of the culture of collaboration and care that defines our team.
A Note from KC Holmes

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Gargle.
