Here We Grow Again

It is with great pleasure that I announce several new appointments at Cleinman Performance Partners.   

Michael Hanbridge, who has most recently been a part-time marketing consultant, has been appointed Vice President, Marketing and Client Development.  Michael has over 15 years of broad-based marketing experience, with particular expertise in the marketing of financial information; direct mail subscription promotion; “guru” marketing and web-based marketing.  He was most recently the Director of Marketing for Value Line, the venerable subscription-based financial publisher.  There, he was responsible for a marketing budget of $15 million and initiated a number of key projects, including partnering with their sales team to develop collateral materials for a new product launch; working with the IT team on website redesign; and development of new subscription promotions involving over 1 million mailing pieces per month.

Prior to Value Line, Michael was, for more then seven years, the Manager and then Director of Marketing and Communications for Domini Social Investments, where he directed the development and implementation of this “guru” investment fund’s marketing plan; including major shifts in direction, strategies and tactics.  Prior to his work in the investment community, Michael spent six years in a variety of capacities for several marketing and communications consulting firms, where he was responsible for everything from producing creative to account management.  Michael holds a BBA in Marketing with a concentration in Advertising and Promotion from Pace University and an MBA in Marketing from Baruch College.

Sebrina Brown has been promoted to Managing Coordinator of Education and Meetings.  Sebrina has been transitioning to this new role for the past couple of months (which was opened due to the promotion of long-standing and valued Cleinman Team Member Diane Tisserand to Client Development Coordinator), balancing her new role with her duties as Assistant to the President.  Sebrina came to Cleinman Performance Partners in late 2006 and took on the monumental task of keeping me organized.  Thank you, Sebrina, for your hard work and commitment to excellence.  You’ve been a great partner.    

Christine Miner joins our firm as Assistant to the President.  Chris was most recently with The Haworth Press, a Binghamton, NY based publisher of scholarly books and journals.  There, she finished her sixteen year career (upon the sale of the business and closing of the operation) as Manager and Associate Editor.  Chris rose from a receptionist position to include stints in Advertising Management, Promotions Management and Event Planning.  Chris holds a B.A. in Communications from SUNY Cortland and has an extensive communications background.      

 

Thanks to our clients for your support and confidence as we continue to build a world-class organization dedicated to helping you reach your goals.
