As they say, all the assets of an agency go out the door at night. Often the last out are the members of our core leadership team.
Kerry McClenahan, CEO
The keeper of the strategic vision, the roadmap and the cat-o-nine-tails. After all, accountability needs to start at the top. Keeping her eyes on the big picture, Kerry’s not afraid to challenge your assumptions or, through her innate curiosity, her own. She balances a passion for technology marketing with a devotion to her business, her kids and supporting the local community. After geeking out with clients during the day, she likes to unwind with Battlestar Galactica reruns.
Jody Breiland, Director of Operations
Kerry’s consigliere as well as our partners’ and vendors’ scourge and best friend. McBru’s first employee, Jody has managed the business nearly from the beginning. Her conservative instincts continue to keep McBru a strong, vital agency. You’ll find her knowledgeable, helpful and friendly — just don’t even think about falling behind on your invoices (you won’t!). Once you get to know her, you’ll see that the business side of the agency is as accountable and fun-loving as the rest.
Lissa Forsterer, Business Development Director
A thinker, a doer, a force of nature. Lissa brings more energy, enthusiasm and passion into the room than the entire American Idol cast from any given season. Her abiding love of tech BtoB is matched by her genuine interest in connecting with the people she works with. A masterful diagnostician, Lissa listens closely to clients and prospects, assesses their needs and delivers a prescription for marketing success. Away from work, Lissa loves hanging with her wonderful daughters and being the number one fan of her husband’s rock and roll band.
James McIntyre, Director of Client Services
A big idea man, the deliveryman, the main man of analogies? You’re looking at James. He’s like a 400HP Evinrude attached to an even keel. His integrated marketing experience spans several agencies serving high tech and consumer markets, so strategic ideas practically fly out of his head. As client services’ quarterback, James is obsessed with over-delivering on our commitments while handing off encouragement and credit to his team. You’ll enjoy how he makes sure your marketing investment converts to real results.
David Smith, Creative Director
Study in contrasts, Renaissance man, a doer who will not be denied. Both a technologist and a writer by training, his sense for how to engage while informing has consistently put David in marketing leadership roles. Innovation and commitment to results set McBru’s tone: whether spearheading industry-first awareness campaigns, crafting heroic headlines, or devising lead-nurturing programs, David solves creative challenges without the burden of “that can’t be done.” Born a New Yorker, David shames the natives with his embodiment of the Northwest lifestyle.
