Lansing Agency Hires Three to Expand Creative Team

October 4, 2011

LANSING ----- Since August, 2011, Motion Marketing & Media (M3) has hired three full-time team members to expand one of their two creative teams. Ryan Knott, Mary McElgunn and Samskee deBourbon join the ranks at one of Lansing's fastest growing full- service advertising, marketing, public relations and social media agencies.

Ryan Knott - The Jammer
Formerly employed by the Michigan Osteopathic Association (MOA), Ryan started with M3 on August 1 and serves as the Jammer (think roller derby and/or rock and roll). Ryan leads M3's shiny new creative team, comprised of M3 veteran Kelly Mazurkiewicz and recent hires Mary McElgunn and Samskee deBourbon. Ryan brings a wealth of marketing and communications knowledge to the table from his decade of experience in the field and also provides comic relief at meetings.

Mary McElgunn - Design Chica
Pronounced "sheek-ah," this resident fashionista started full- time in August after completing her summer design internship with M3. A graduate of Michigan State University, Mary earned her degree in creative advertising with an emphasis in graphic design. Her attention to detail, eye for color and savvy style make her a perfect addition to the already super chic team at 614 Seymour Avenue.

Samskee deBourbon - Internet Explorer
This multi-talented web designer started with M3 in August shortly after Ryan and Mary joined the ranks. Sam not only serves as a web developer but also our resident DDR professional and muralist (because you never know when you'll need one or the other - or both)! Developing websites since 1999, Sam earned his degree from Kendall College of Art and Design and is a wicked mix of old school finesse with new school style.
