BLASTmedia is obviously very proud of all of our client successes, and one way to measure that success is with the growth of our own company. On that note, our team is growing again and we’re excited to introduce everyone to new account executives, Molly Monceaux and Alyshia Kisor! Molly joins us on the B2B side of the house, while Alyshia is the latest addition to the consumer team.
As both Molly and Alyshia are seasoned PR veterans, we couldn’t be happier to have these two new faces in the office. We’re having a great time getting to know them, but we’re not the selfish types, so we want you to be able to get to know them as well. Here’s the scoop:
Nickname: Ritter (Maiden Name)
Alma Mater: Saint Mary’s College (just like our Margie!)
Random Fact: My husband’s response was “you married a badass” and my best friend said “you might be the coolest person I know”…neither of which were helpful. But for real, I lived in Ireland for a year, my best friends name is Molly, and I love my two Springer Spaniels, Monaghan and Donegal.
Favorite Quote: “Love More, Worry Less”
Hobbies/Interests: I like to sing. I’m a beer enthusiast. I love spending time with my nieces, nephews and god-daughter (all between the ages of 2-4). (We’re wondering if she practices all of these simultaneously…)
Next up, meet Alyshia Kisor:
Nickname: Lardita Von Cheese (okay, so that’s just one friend). Other common ones are A, Kisor (like the roll only spelled differently!) and KisorSoze (we’re not asking any questions…)
Alma Mater: THE Ohio State University (the “THE” is very important to include – gooooo Bucks!)
Random Fact: In a former life, I worked at a radio station and we were doing a video skit with the Jonas Brothers (yes, Ashley is green with envy!). It was about training for a competition and they couldn’t find any training equipment to use during the video. I had some free weights and bands at my house (which was only about 10 minutes away) so I brought them in and they were used in the sketch. Yes, you read that right – I had belongings touched by the JoBros. Sadly I didn’t put them up on eBay and turn a profit afterward.
Favorite Quote: “I have had good experience and trial of this world…I know what it is to be a subject, what to be a sovereign, what to have good neighbours, and sometimes meet evil willers. I have found treason in trust, seen great benefits little regarded.” (Elizabeth I’s speech to Parliamentary Delegation, 1586)
Hobbies/Interests: Tudor history, consuming as much cheese and hummus as possible (though not together), dog-momming, saving the arts (Center Grove Arts Assistance Fund), punishing books on my Kindle, collecting souvenir pennies (the cheesier the location, the better), attempting to container garden, trashy television, Anne Taintor art, Fleetwood Mac tunes
As you can all tell, we’re on to something good with these ladies! Keep checking back for more updates on the BLASTmedia team, as well as insightful posts on public relations and social media from our all-star professionals.
