About IMS
From New Jersey Roots To Tampa Bay.
Innovative Marketing Solutions was built around a simple idea: businesses deserve websites and marketing that work as hard as they do.
Founded by Timothy McGuire, IMS combines more than two decades of website design, digital marketing and business experience with a modern approach to SEO, responsive development and emerging search technology.
Founder / Designer / Marketer
Timothy McGuire has worked in website design, digital marketing, business operations and customer-facing industries for more than two decades.
He founded Innovative Marketing Solutions in the early 2000s and has continued evolving the business through major changes in website technology, search engines, social media, mobile design, e-commerce and now AI-assisted search and discovery.
That experience shapes the way IMS approaches projects today: understand the business first, then build the website, search structure and marketing around what the business actually needs.
Tim works directly with clients throughout the project rather than handing communication through layers of account managers.
Tim’s professional background extends beyond websites.
More than three decades of hospitality, restaurant operations, management and customer-facing experience provide a practical understanding of how businesses operate, how customers make decisions and why communication matters.
That perspective influences IMS projects today.
The goal is not simply to create something that looks impressive. The website must make sense to the customer, support the business and give visitors a clear next step.
Business Evolution
Timothy McGuire founded Computer Doctors in 2002, providing computer repair, networking and IT support alongside growing web and online-marketing work.
As website design and digital marketing became the stronger long-term direction of the business, Computer Doctors was eventually merged into Innovative Marketing Solutions.
Tim chose to move away from computer repair and networking services and focus IMS on website design, digital marketing, SEO, online visibility and helping businesses build stronger digital platforms.
That earlier IT and networking background remains part of the technical foundation behind IMS today.

Where IMS Started
Innovative Marketing Solutions grew out of Tim’s work with small businesses in New Jersey, particularly throughout Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
Early IMS projects included website design, website redesign, SEO, e-commerce, social media, online marketing and print/graphic support for local businesses and professional service firms.
Over time, the client base expanded beyond New Jersey to businesses in other states, while Tim’s own path eventually brought IMS to Florida.
Today IMS is based in the Tampa Bay area while continuing to work with businesses wherever the project is a good fit.
Tim’s long-running LinkedIn profile documents years of website design, SEO, marketing work, articles, professional recommendations and business activity that predate the current IMS website and recent portfolio.
Community & Benefit Work
Community involvement has been part of Tim’s professional life for years.
Beyond nonprofit website and social-media work, Tim has supported benefit events, local organizations, radio personalities and fundraising efforts throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other communities.
His involvement has included website support, digital promotion, networking, event promotion, media outreach and hands-on participation in charitable events.
Tim’s volunteer history includes work as Webmaster, Social Media Director and Donations Coordinator for We Who Care Of Marion County, an organization serving adults with special needs.
His work included website development, social-media setup and online support intended to help the organization increase awareness and donations.
Over the years, Tim has also worked alongside and supported radio personalities, musicians, community organizers and benefit events.
That history includes community work connected with Philadelphia radio personality and longtime friend Pierre Robert of 93.3 WMMR, as well as events receiving coverage and support from 105.7 The Hawk in New Jersey.
Tim has also appeared as a guest speaker on Brookdale Community College’s 90.5 The Night.
Music, Community & Giving Back
Tim has also donated time in support of the Light Of Day Foundation and its music-driven charitable efforts.
The Foundation uses the power of music to raise money and awareness in the fight against Parkinson’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases.
Tim’s involvement with Light Of Day fits within a broader history of donating time, digital skills, promotion, networking and event support to community causes throughout New Jersey and beyond.

Thank you for all of your support at the High Socks for Hope benefit at Foley's on 07/27/11! Thanks to you, $14,000 was raised for The David and Erin Robertson foundation: High Socks For Hope!
The Stone Pony — Asbury Park, New Jersey
A community benefit held at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park to help support Bob H. Smith with wheelchair-related needs.
The event was one of numerous charitable and community efforts Tim participated in throughout the years.
These examples represent only a portion of the nonprofit, benefit and community work Tim has participated in throughout the years.
Building Business Communities
IMS has never been limited to building individual websites.
Tim has also created and managed business communities designed to help local professionals connect, promote their work and build stronger referral relationships.
Tim founded the New Jersey Business Directory as a networking and promotional platform created to help local New Jersey businesses showcase their products and services while building professional connections.
The project reflected the same small-business focus that continues through IMS today.
Tim is also the Founder and Administrator of the St. Augustine Professionals Facebook Group.
The group was created as a place for local business owners, professionals and entrepreneurs to connect, network and support one another.
The community has grown to more than 1,800 members.
Tim plans to continue developing professional networking communities as IMS grows its presence in Florida.
The tools have changed, but the objective remains familiar: help good businesses become easier to find, understand and trust.
The IMS Approach
Work directly with the person designing and developing the website.
Design decisions begin with the business, audience and goals rather than a prebuilt template.
Search structure, content relationships and technical foundations are considered during development.
Desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile behavior are treated as part of one system.
The finished website should be practical to update, expand and manage.
Projects are built with future services, content, marketing and search visibility in mind.

Today
The technology changes constantly. The business objective does not.
A website still needs to explain the company clearly, build trust, help customers take action and create a foundation the business can continue using.
