We don’t have employees of the month here, we’re all stand outs. This is where we share a few of our recent wins and highlight from some of our awesome team!
Congratulations to Melissa Carrick on her promotion to Director of Social Media! Melissa joined AR Marketing in February 2021, and has been contributing to our success through educational public/industry speaking, agency representation at trade shows, superb client management and, of course, self-assigned CFO (Chief Fun Officer).
From one of our great clients to Chelsie: The show guide was shipped off to the printer on Friday, right on schedule. I just wanted to share how amazing Chelsie was through the process. It felt like the whole association was reviewing the document - there's a lot to track and sometimes you're undoing edits you've already made. Chelsie was so responsive and patient. Everyone commented on how smooth the process felt this year. Chelsie deserves a lot of the credit.
Thanks again for being a great partner.
Shout out to Lindsay Smith and Chelsie Nye for being selected as a 2024 NGA Creative Choice Awards Honorable Mention for their work on Neiman's Family Market Mayville Location Grand Opening. Lindsay, Chelsie and team promoted the event through digital ads, Facebook ads and emails. These campaigns resulted in an increase in impressions online as well as increased shoppers in store.
Congratulations to Lindsay Ginter for being recognized as an Emerging Leader by The Shelby Report of the Midwest 👏🤩
Lindsay started her career with AR in 2014. In less than a decade, she has become a thought leader in grocery marketing. She now manages the grocery industry's most knowledgable digital marketing team, focusing on digital display advertising, social media and reputation management, texting, email, digital couponing and OTT/CTV marketing serving about 1,000 grocery retail rooftops.
Thank you to our interns for a successful summer! Our accounting intern Zack was a huge help this summer completing special projects and reporting for our clients. Patrick, our social media intern, jumped right in and helped our social media managers make TikToks, write blogs and create and schedule content. Audrey had her hands in all things digital and social including Google Ads, Trade Area Data Analysis and reporting, and she is now officially a part of our team!
Congratulations to Brian Giangiordano! He is officially a graduate of the 2023 Hancock Leadership Class. AR Marketing sponsored Brian into the program, which started in 2022. After 9 months of dedicated participation leading to graduation, Brian and his classmates rocked a brand-new Hancock County-benefited program called "Hancock County TAPS," connecting local TAPS trumpet players with veteran funerals in need.
Chelsie was out on maternity leave which left a big hole in our design staff. While she was out the team picked up while she healed.
From Chelsie “Shout out to my design teammates, Krystin, Allie, Lindsy, Rosebelle, Blake and Baylie for seamlessly covering all of my work when I was on maternity leave earlier this year. I'm grateful to be on a team that has each other's backs! Krystin took on the bulk of my work and I am thankful.”
AR Marketing prides itself in serving independent business owners nationwide. Recently, Lindsay Smith, Brian Giangiordano, and Jen Call led efforts to assist two clients win National Grocers Association Creative Choice Awards for advertising. Efforts were based on holiday shrimp sales and community connections. The entire AR Team is involved with this process, (led by Lindsy Warnecke) and it means a lot to the agency to help our clients get recognized on a national scale.
