Laurel Burton, Traffic & Production Manager
Laurel has many whips to crack at The Shop
and she does it with
a smile and serious efficiency. She interfaces with vendors, manages
budgets and sees to it that jobs flow smoothly through both the account
and creative departments to ensure all client deadlines and expectations
are met. If you looked up multi-tasking in Wikipedia, youd likely
find her photo.
Georell Bracelin, Account Director
A true marketing strategist, Georell collaborates with clients to create
and manage marketing campaigns that generate and increase visibility,
credibility and esteem. All with what seems like superhuman powers
much like Superman, her monikers namesake. So its no surprise
shes managed a slew of local, national and international accountsfrom
Sprite to ESPN to Tony Roma to Morrow Snowboards (and many more!).
Ryan Crotty, Design Director
Another East Coaster, Ryan came to The Shop via The Big Apple, where
he worked on national brands like Hennessey, Ricoh, Hasbro and Sag Harbor.
Equipped with a bachelors degree in illustration and a masters
in graphic design, Ryans a force to be reckoned with in the design
world. With his stable of bikes and battery of snowboarding gear, hes
a dominant contender on the mountains as well.
Elicia Putnam, Principal & Wordsmith
The Shops founder, Elicia is a copywriter and brand development
expert. Once a horse trainer, now a grammar fanatic, Elicia has a zest
for words and a passion for solving marketing challenges. Elicia began
her adventures in the advertising world as a freelance copywriter. Responding
to the need for a different type of agency, she soon launched The Shop
in 2001 and built a team of creative folks around her.
Mike Simmons, Advisor
Every company needs a Mike. The co-keeper of the bottom line, Mike is
no stranger to the art of running a business. Just ask the farm dealerships
in Eastern Washington who tried to compete with Mikes powerhouse
of a business he built from scratch. Once he reached the pinnacle of
success, he cashed in, moved to Bend and entered the world of advertising.
Now when hes not counting dollars at The Shop, hes counting
vertical feet on the slopes of Mount Bachelor.
