Fred Conover

Fred Conover

Fred Conover - President

If you’re looking for a fine example of integration, look no further than Fred. After all, he’s the guy who somehow had the vision to bring this ragtag group of talented miscreants together. His management skills come honestly. He worked his way up the ranks of the Boston ad community as an account executive, and he discovered early on an affinity for knowing the difference between what his clients were asking for and what they really needed. Fred never shied away from suggesting it either, even when it wasn’t in his best interest or even his agency’s.

Alison McCarthy

Alison McCarthy

Alison McCarthy - VP, Director of Account Management

Alison has a B.F.A in Art History that sets her apart from most account managers. Her flair for sculpting a strategy is breathtaking, and her attitude never fails to brighten our office. But it’s her nearly two decades of experience that clients find so inspiring. Alison has artfully directed campaigns for CVS/pharmacy, Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism, Sonesta International Hotels, Eastern Bank and Polaroid. And these are just a few of the clients in her impressive body of work.

Peter Winch

Peter Winch

Peter Winch - Account Director

The son of a well-known Boston Creative Director, it’s easy to say that Peter has the ad business in his blood. But we’ve asked doctors, and that’s medically impossible. Plus for him, advertising is more than part of his heritage. It’s a passion. And every day for the past 17 years he has combined this passion with his strategic skills to build brands such as Monster.Com, Titleist, Converse, Stanley, and Fleet Bank. Now he’s doing the same for our clients, and making sure they get the best creative product possible.

Kelly Frost - VP Management Supervisor

Kelly describes her idea of nirvana as The Container Store. This applies well to her impressive resume, which is easy to sort out. In twelve years in the business, she’s managed brands from both the agency and client-side. And in categories ranging from retail to real estate. Her organized approach has benefited many Fortune 500 companies, most recently Nextel Communications. Kelly’s past work also includes a large array of letters including NCAA, NHL, MLB, NFL, NASCAR and the NTRA.

Rosemarie Simeone

Rosemarie Simeone

Rosemarie Simeone - VP Management Supervisor

The list of high-profile accounts Rose has worked is miles long. Which is appropriate considering she is also a seasoned marathoner. Rose prides herself on the ability to create and manage a campaign with legs, to forge through the tough times, and enjoy the downhills. And while she always has an eye on the finish line, Rose is careful to emphasize the importance of focusing on each and every step.

Azurae Hood

Azurae Hood

Azurae Hood - Management Supervisor

Azurae has helped many a big brand take off, which is no surprise for someone with their Pilot license. A graduate from Colgate University, Azurae’s first job in advertising was at Arnold Worldwide, Boston, where she helped the “truth” campaign get off the ground. Years later, she took off for California where she helped position Hewlett Packard as a Top Gun in digital photography. Her insights and attitude even brought her the 2003 Golden Stake award (employee of the year).

Amy Fredrickson

Amy Fredrickson

Amy Fredrickson - Senior Account Executive

Amy is a world-class coordinator, literally. She received her B.A. in Economics from Colby College, but Amy has studied in Florence, Italy, and at Sydney University in Australia. Her cosmopolitan skills translate well to her diverse role supporting all our account teams. And although Amy’s resourcefulness and conscientiousness are hard to find anywhere, it’s her cheery optimism that’s really something to write home about. The reasons are boundless, but in short, we’re lucky to have Amy as part of our culture.

Oddity: No one is allowed to touch her elbows, ever.
Favorite Expression: “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass...it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

Sam Bartle

Sam Bartle

Sam Bartle - Senior Account Executive

Some would say that to get to CTP, Sam took the road less traveled. Well, we think that road sounds pretty awesome, especially since we’re used to Boston driving. Sam has traveled all over in her career, from the University of Maryland, to New York City, to Charleston, SC, to Barcelona, Spain. Now she uses her worldly knowledge to help connect our clients with their customers, no matter where they may be. And having covered so much ground already, it’s easy for her to steer them down the road to success.

Oddity: Can’t write with a pen that’s missing its cap – throws the balance and feel off completely.
Favorite Expression: “Seriously”
Most Bizarre Job: Dressed in a mouse costume and waved at traffic outside a store.
Karaoke Song: “Bust a move” by Young MC

Stefanie Hawkes

Stefanie Hawkes

Stefanie Hawkes - Account Coordinator

Being an account coordinator requires enthusiasm, dedication, and patience—so who better to fill the role than a lifelong Celtics fan? A Rhode Island native, Stef got one step closer to the big green machine while double-majoring at Suffolk University. And as luck would have it, she now works within three-point range of the Garden. Her diverse skills and team spirit make her the ultimate utility player, and much like the C’s recent acquisitions, Stef’s presence has helped take our game to a new level.

Oddity: Can clap with one hand.
Favorite Expression: “Right on.”
Most Bizarre Job: Frankfurter shack supervisor.
Karaoke Song: “Fight for your Right” by Beastie Boys

It takes a lot of skill to build a gingerbread house. You need attention to detail, creativity, and a lot of discipline not to eat the materials. Lucky for us, and our clients, Ali grew up building the best gingerbread houses in the land. Which prepared her perfectly for a career in advertising. Because whether it's writing a brief, studying the competitive landscape, or simply helping you grow your brand, Ali has the tool every client can appreciate. The fact she does it all with a smile on her face, well that's just icing on the cake.
