Motion Marketing & Media grows account department

Lansing agency hires three executives to grow business

October 26, 2011

Lansing ----- If you've been paying attention, then you know Motion Marketing & Media (M3) is growing. Since July, M3 has hired two fulltime account managers and a new business director to manage sales for the agency, its publication Capital Area Women's LifeStyle Magazine (CAWLM) and surrounding CAWLM events. Among the ranks include Marilyn Hamlin, Colette Evangelista and Taylor Kelsaw.

Marilyn Hamlin - Account Executive

Focusing her time and talents on sales growth for CAWLM, Marilyn sold her first ad within hours on the job. Prior to joining the team at M3, Marilyn worked as a PartyLite sales representative, personally ranked #14 in the nation for sales in February 2011. Her warm personality and decade of experience in direct sales make Marilyn a wonderful (and profitable) addition to our sales team.

Colette Evangelista - (Sassy) Sales Ace

The most recent (and sassiest) addition to the sales department, Colette brings with her a bag of sales skills and the personality to match it. Colette's role focuses on sales growth for a variety of M3's clients as well as CAWLM events (including the annual Lady Classic golf outing and 80s Flashback Fundraiser). Colette joined the team in October 2011 and is allowed to attend brainstorming only if she meets her monthly sales goals.

Taylor Kelsaw - Executive Producer

Hailing from sunny Calif., Taylor joined the team in August 2011. Having worked in product placement and marketing in Hollywood for more than a decade, his sales talents are matched only by the contacts in his little black book. Taylor's focus at M3 is new business acquisition and account management. Taylor also co-hosts M3's radio show Michigan in Motion (on the Michigan Business Network) with Tiffany Dowling, M3's chief conversation starter.
