Julie Martinez hired as Creative Director; Meredith White joins the team as Account Executive.

WILMORE, KY. August 4, 2008 – Two new hires will fill key roles at the Wilmore, Ky. based media communications firm.  Julie Martinez, formerly of Los Angeles, Calif., will be filling the role of Creative Director, while Meredith White, most recently of Jackson, Ms., will be the company’s new Account Executive.

Martinez moved back to her native Bluegrass state after almost a decade in Los Angeles, where she co-owned New Link Media. Her company’s primary focus was on documentary videos, as well as other media communication tools for a variety of corporations and non-profits.  Julie also launched and still runs the non-profit organization, Circle of Hope, which provides relief and care for orphaned and vulnerable children in Malawi, Southern Africa.  Martinez feels that this experience has given her “an insider’s understanding of the needs of socially active organizations.”

White recently transferred to nearby Danville, Ky., with her husband, a new addition to the football coaching staff at Centre College.  Most recently White has served as the Director of Online and Graduate Admissions and Marketing at Belhaven College in Jackson, Ms. Other experience includes serving as the Marketing and Public Relations Coordinator for a regional blood center in Texas, as well as the Director of Fundraising and Public Relations for political clients.
