Letterpress Communications

It’s time to meet another one of our #CommunityPoweredPeople: Our newest full-time team member, Account Executive Ronda Gentry! Ronda knows a thing or two about leadership, learning and community impact — and she has the credentials to prove it. She was named a 2019 "40 Under 40" honoree by The Business Journal of Tri-Cities TN/VA. With degrees in math, divinity (from Duke University, where Letterpress Owner and Founder Ilsa Loeser is now pursuing an MBA — go Blue Devils! ??) and organizational leadership, Ronda brings a unique mix of data-driven thinking, thoughtful storytelling and deep understanding of what makes people and organizations thrive. Let’s celebrate Ronda in the comments! #MeetTheTeam #CommunityPowered #Marketing #LetterpressCommunications

We’re sharing the story behind another one of our #CommunityPoweredPeople: Meet Megan, our project manager! Before she was breaking down marketing strategies, Megan was breaking down brain science — specifically, opioids’ effects on the minds of mice. (Fun fact: mice cannot fly, but they do like to swim. ????) As she spent long hours in the lab and presented complex research, Megan learned to organize information, solve problems and communicate big ideas clearly — skills she now uses to keep projects on track and help our clients succeed. At Letterpress we believe great marketing is a mix of creativity and strategy — and Megan brings both. Let’s give her a shoutout in the comments. Then stay tuned for more fun facts about the people behind our #CommunityPowered #Marketing! #MeetThe Team #LetterpressCommunications

At Letterpress we believe great marketing starts with great people. That’s why — in honor of #NationalEmployeeAppreciationDay — we’re launching #CommunityPoweredPeople, a series celebrating the passions and talents that make our team great! Our team members are so much more than their job titles. They’re deeply involved in their communities, bringing unique skills and experiences that shape the way we work. First up is our COO, Lyndsie Blakely! From marketing to ministry, Lyndsie does it all. When she’s not guiding our work at LP, she also serves as a doula and as an ordained deacon at Farmville United Methodist Church. She’s spent years supporting people during some of life’s most meaningful moments. That same sense of service, connection and care is exactly what makes her an incredible part of our team. Give Lyndsie a shoutout in the comments. Then stay tuned every Friday this month as we highlight our amazing team! #MeetTheTeam #CommunityPowered #Marketing #LetterpressCommunications
