Grant Pace
|
Grant Pace - Executive Creative DirectorGrant’s big break in advertising came in a very big way. The Super Bowl, where a series of his spots for Anheuser Busch ran in a promotion called the Bud Bowl. It’s one of the most successful promotions in the history of advertising, so you may have heard of it. Since then, Grant’s creative reputation and ideas have only gotten bigger. His refreshing work for Miller Genuine Draft helped make that Cold-Filtered brew even cooler. He single-handedly put Audi back on the road in the US. He and Michael Jordan put plenty of Hanes underwear on all of our behinds.
Oddity: My middle name is misspelled. |
Mark Bappe
|
Mark Bappe - Creative DirectorIf you are a dog, cat, a homeless person or a child in need, you’ve probably benefited from Mark’s creativity. He’s done award winning work for The Pine Street Inn, The Home for Little Wanderers, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and currently sits on the board of two animal welfare organizations, AnimalKind and The Massachusetts Animal Coalition. Mark also finds a little time to do some work for many For-Profit clients as well. He’s done award-winning work at several agencies in the Boston area as well as others in San Francisco and Raleigh, NC. His experience ranges from healthcare to high tech.
Oddity: I love redheads. |
Michael McCrary
|
Michael McCrary - Interactive DirectorMichael is a true craftsman, on and off the computer. Over the years, he’s been a gardener, landscape designer, glazier, and even a restoration carpenter. Always a handy guy, Michael got into technology by building his first computer from spare parts, and never looked back. For ten years, Michael’s been using his trade skills to build websites, develop software, architect information, and construct online media for nationally broadcast television programs, formal education products, and museum and outreach projects.
Oddity: He’s completely normal. |
Angela Bassiri
|
Angela Bassiri - Workflow, Wellness & Broadcast GuruLeave it to Angela, a Yoga instructor, to keep our office in a calm, centered place. She always keeps our work flowing. And when it comes to TV and Radio production, she brings us great clarity. Just ask Continental Airlines, Herbal Essences, KitchenAid, McDonalds, Celebrity Cruises and PBS to name a few of her past clients. Whether she’s shrinking our waistlines, solving broadcast dilemmas, managing our daily meetings or simply dazzling clients with her natural warmth, Angela always keeps things in a healthy balance. And that’s a breath of fresh air.
Oddity: Spends time upside down every day. |
Jay Courtney
|
Jay Courtney - Associate Creative DirectorTo put it briefly, Jay is a good writer because he’s a good listener. In fact, if you’re in a meeting with Jay and he isn’t speaking, that’s because he’s listening. About your brand, your competition, your marketing philosophy, or your daughter’s soccer game. Whatever you happen to be talking about. Jay has put his well-honed listening skills to work for a plethora of clients. From international giants like HSBC Bank to American icons like General Motors to passion brands like Steinway & Sons and Sam Adams.
Oddity: Knows location of every 7-11 in 20 mile radius. |
Amy Silva
|
Amy Silva - Senior DesignerAmy’s visual style was honed in the Arts program at Endicott College where she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a concentration in Visual Communications. That figures because concentrating on visual communication is what she does best. Amy is well known in our offices for her ability to shut out the rest of a busy day, go deep within and come out the other end with breathtakingly original solutions to our clients’ needs. For those of you who recall Maxwell Smart, we call it going into the Cone. You’ll simply call it brilliant.
Oddity: Tap dances. |
Scott Williams
|
Scott Williams - Senior DesignerSome might say that Scott’s years as a bicycle messenger did nothing to prepare him for a career as a designer, but anyone who’s ever driven in Boston knows the creativity required to get through traffic. When it comes to his work, Scott never puts on the brakes. He’s handled the messages of big clients such as Gillette, Duracell, Wal-Mart, The Breeders’ Cup, and Eastern Bank and every time, he’s shown that he truly knows how to deliver. No matter what kind of work you try to hit Scott with, you’ll be surprised at his ability to ride it to the finish. He’ll be sure to bring you what you need.
Oddity: Profoundly terrified of bees. |
John Ediger
|
John Ediger - Associate Web DeveloperJohn has always been hardwired to work with computers. With basic computing embedded in him early on in college, John launched into the world of web design and obtained a degree in CS: Multimedia. After logging in hours at several jobs, John finally upgraded to an internship at Pentad Systems where he worked over a year. Eventually, John decided to take a byte out of the Ad Industry, and CTP was glad to attach him to the company. His amiable personality is a real refresher around the office, and his vast knowledge of computers and design together make his work a real plus plus!
Oddity: Is from the West Coast. |
Susan Schneider
|
Susan Schneider - Junior Art DirectorWith a Major in Advertising Design and Minor in Spanish, Susan has kinda got the whole “communication” thing down pat. Not only can she answer “Donde esta la biblioteca?” but she can really make the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” mean something. Being able to speak through designs and graphics is a talent, and lucky for CTP, it’s one of Susan’s many.
Oddity: Hates things with wings. |
Jessica Ruggieri
|
Jessica Ruggieri - Junior Art DirectorBeing able to visualize great ideas and execute them is a gift, and lucky for us, Jesse’s came in a really, really big box. With a background in art and visual communication, and time spent across the pond in London, Jessica is always surprising us, and our clients, with breathtaking designs and groundbreaking concepts. And even while she pushes the boundaries of creative thinking, she is adept at adhering to client objectives and communicating with target audiences. Talk about the whole package.
Oddity: Dreams almost every night, and usually remembers every one. |
Erica Hara
|
Erica Hara - Junior Traffic ManagerWhen dealing with celebrities like Adam Sandler and Chris Rock, you gotta be cool, calm, collected and have excellent bladder control. Just ask Erica. In her days as a server at King’s, she’s dealt with quite a few stars and their shenanigans. Now she uses her coolness under pressure and sense of humor to handle the trafficking and characters of CTP. With a degree from Northeastern University in Media Communication and time as a Production Coordinator for a health and wellness magazine, Erica is as comfortable at the helm of an agency as she is with handling celebrity egos.
Oddity: Always puts ketchup on mac and cheese |
