PRESIDENT: Vici French
Vici French
There is a whole wide world of expertise in marketing, marketing research, marketing strategies, and advertising and public relations programs packed into her forty-plus years of work across the marketing communications spectrum. And that stretches from Norfolk and Virginia Beach to Memphis and Houston to Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.

Little wonder then that Vici has been recognized time and time again in so many ways: Who's Who Outstanding Young Woman in America (Memphis); Past Officer of American Women in Radio and Television; Past President and Chairperson of the Houston Association of Broadcasters; Outstanding Business Woman of the Year (Governors Pacesetter Award for Northeast Louisiana); Silver Medal Award (Ad Club of Northeast Louisiana) and recipient of the Rivertown Award of Excellence in recognition of the agency's stature in the business community in Ouachita Parish.

What all that says is that Vici has long been a strong and incisive leader - helping businesses grow, helping them reach their full potential. Isn't it time to put such expertise in your corner!
CONCEPT/COPY CZAR: Richard Fournet
Richard Fournet
From the bayous of Louisiana to the beaches of California. From Young & Rubicam to Foote, Cone & Belding. From global shops to boutique shops. From before faxes to after texting. From hot and spicy pizza to frozen boar semen. From General Electric to McGaw Labs. From outdoor lighting to spinal anesthesia trays. From the AAA to 5-star banks. From Sun-Maid Raisins to Kaiser Aluminum. From movie ads for MGM and Warner Brothers to movie voice-overs. From floor decals to websites. From CD and college professor to dancing virtuoso. He's a long-time ad guy all right - but he still thinks he's just starting out. And he's, ahem, ours.
SENIOR ART DIRECTOR: Heath Poole
Heath Poole
In a world where time is seldom your friend, where deadlines pop up like weeds on a summer day, where stress is usually a constant companion - meet Mr. Calm, Cool & Collected. And all the while, he's pulling down Addys, national Telly awards and other accolades by the hundreds (literally), working adroitly in all media - for over 15 years - on accounts from the likes of Skeeter boats to bariatric surgery and even finding time to run the Ad Club of Northeast Louisiana as president. Oh, and let's not forget he's also Dad to three boys, two of them twins! Grade A Class Act? Nothing less.

OFFICE MANAGER/PRODUCTION MANAGER: Pam Chapman
Pam Chapman
The copier's in a jam. See Pam. Need a quote by the am. Get Pam. Seems like your computer's on the lam. Call Pam. Get it? Pam's our go-to gal. Which is good for us. Cause she gets things done. It's nice to have her around because she comes up with answers, knows answers, finds answers. She helps us run a tight ship. And helps us produce great work - from print through digital media -- in a timely, cost-conscious way for our clients. So when clients come to us for work, they're getting a smart, marketing-driven creative product - and a touch of Pam in every job.
ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE: Kristy Statham
Kristy Statham
Monster Mantis cranes at the South Pole. Nurse-patient ratio in hospital care. Personal and commercial banking. Nursing homes and birthing centers. Eye care - it's all in a day's work. Consulting with clients. Working out marketing strategies, plans and budgets. Following up on projects, starting new ones. Kristy does it all and does it all very well, thank you. But she's been there before, hailing from an ad agency in Texas. So she's quick on her feet and can tackle the toughest jobs, wrapping them up, with a bow, on time and on budget. A restless tyke in her life named Parker, we must acknowledge, has probably fostered some of that deftness.
MEDIA BUYER: Stacy Lewis
Stacy Lewis
Getting the most out of your media budget! Sounds simple enough. But just the opposite is true. Getting a message to the right target in the most cost-effective way - that's the catch. And that's what Stacy does. The planning, buying, fee negotiation and post analysis. She does the whole thing. With the experience, technology and creativity to make sure the marketing-driven creative we produce is delivered with maximum impact for your dollar. From regional or national outdoor, broadcast or newspaper to posters in malls in a distant state to digital and social media, she's right there on top of it. Which is presumably to be expected. With two straight A kids at home, you have to stay on your toes.
ACCOUNTANT: Marsha Bearden
Marsha Bearden
Numbers. Numbers. Numbers. Numbers. Numbers. And more Numbers. Vendor bills. Vendor bills. Vendor bills. Vendor bills. Checks. Checks. Checks. Checks. Receipts. Receipts. Receipts. Receipts. Taxes. Taxes. Taxes. Taxes. Taxes. Billing. Billing. Billing. Billing. It's a challenging job, no matter how you figure it. But with some thirty-plus years in major accounting and bookkeeping roles, she constantly stays ahead of all her tasks, keeping accounts up-to-date and accurate. How do we sum her up? Numero uno.
