New Position to manage South Company Gas Account for Atlanta Media Firm

     ATLANTA, GA – Mobile Media Enterprises (MME) announces today the hiring of Kristin Turner as a new Account Director, based in Atlanta.   She will join MME on June 21 st and will fill this newly expanded position, with responsibility for managing event marketing for several new accounts. This will be the fourth account director position at MME, a 12-year-old, nationally recognized leader in the event marketing industry, headquartered in Atlanta.

“Kristin's versatility will bring a welcome addition to our team,” said MME President Bob Lewis. “For Home Depot, she scheduled in-store talent appearances, allowing her to work directly with her clients while preparing a show, similar to what we do here at MME. She has a vibrant personality, a proactive mindset, and her experience allowed her to gain an in-depth understanding of the business aspect of putting on a show.”

Ms. Turner previously worked in promotions for the Coca-Cola Company, directing a nationwide fitness program in conjunction with schools, and doing all of the public relations work for the program and brand. She has also worked for Cingular Wireless as a Corporate Sponsorships Manager and Chick-fil-A as the Atlanta Area Marketing Director. Ms. Turner earned a B.A. in Telecommunications & Film from the University of Alabama. “She is a very creative, motivated and talented individual, and we are very excited about this new addition to our staff,” Lewis said.

“I'm very excited to join MME,” Ms. Turner said. “The firm has grown quickly to be an innovative leader in event marketing, taking brands right to the consumer at venues all over the country. It's a growing segment of the advertising and marketing industry and MME is right on the cutting edge of it. .”

Headquartered in Atlanta, with regional hubs throughout the U.S., MME is America's most passionate provider of experiential marketing events and equipment. Serving such diverse national brands as Timberland, Cingular and Duracell, MME creates consumer-targeted “road shows.” These performances often involved custom-designed vehicles staffed by high-energy product representatives who invite prospective customers to engage in hands-on experiences with the products.
