MindComet Corporation, a Full Service Interactive Agency,
today announced a sizeable reorganization, including naming Paul Lewis
as President/CEO. Lewis, who served as MindComet’s SVP of Sales and
Marketing for the past five years, has had an instrumental role in
shaping the company’s growth and service offerings.
Ted Murphy, former President/CEO, will maintain his position as
Chairman of the Board and continue to provide vision, direction and
inspiration to MindComet. Murphy will now preside as President/CEO of PayPerPost,
a spinoff of MindComet launched in June. "I have been in the process of
shifting greater responsibility to the MindComet management team over
the last year in preparation for this event," Murphy states. "I am
fortunate enough to have cultivated an outstanding management team. I
am confident that our team will continue MindComet's long history of
growth, innovation and dedication to our client partners."
MindComet has engaged over 20 new client partners in 2006 and has seen
sustainable revenue growth upwards of 80% year over year under the
direction of Lewis. "Paul and I have worked closely together to build
this company from the ground up. He has been a critical component in
our success and shares my passion for everything interactive," said
Murphy. "He is an experienced leader, a technology guru and an
inspiration to the team. My money is on continued growth." Murphy will
maintain his majority equity position in MindComet.
Each year MindComet embraces a new theme to serve as the organizational
guide light for team members. Lewis has decided this year's theme will
be "I Create". "We have built our business on creativity and change; we
love the fast paced online world, and enjoy developing something from
nothing," Lewis commented. "We want to create relationships. We want to
create technology. We want to create results. But most importantly we
want to create the continued passion in our organization that drives
all of these things."
In addition to the promotion of Lewis, several other MindComet veterans
will receive promotions as part of the reorganization. Promotions
include: Doug White, SVP of Sales; Scott Allen, VP of Experience; Ross
Yaeger, VP of Operations and Tara Lamberson, VP of Marketing &
Strategy. "I am delighted to have the opportunity to work more directly
with these talented executives," commented Lewis. " This is the
management team that will propel the agency forward in 2007 and beyond."
MindComet will continue along its path of strong and consistent growth
by focusing on adding and expanding service offerings and disciplines
including: search engine marketing, online media buying, mobile marketing,
HR communications strategies and online brand monitoring. Under
MindComet's expanded senior management team, the company is well
positioned to increase its notoriety as a full service interactive
marketing powerhouse.
To facilitate their rapid growth, MindComet will continue to seek out
top talent within the industry, open additional regional offices and
explore long-term relationships with client partners. MindComet broke
ground on a brand new $4.1 million dollar facility in August. The
facility expects to open doors in early Q2 to accommodate MindComet's
expanding team.
