The Deane Agency Principle Profiles:
Heather Deane, Chaos Director
Our very own fearless leader and resident "Godmother", Heather Deane has over twenty years of experience in printing, design and promotional products. With so many years in the business you'd think Heather must know everything about the world of marketing and advertising...and she does. Relocating to Florida after a childhood in the northern tundra known as upstate New York, Heather has built a reputation in the local marketing community as a consummate professional. As far as her non-professional reputation, this is neither the time nor the place to discuss such things...and quite frankly, you don't want to know.
As Chaos Director Heather oversees administrative functions of the business, leads the team in research and communication with all media partners and vendors and focuses on making sure each clients expectations are met fully every time within budget without sacrificing the best in product and design options.
A self-professed daredevil Heather owns jet skis, dirt bikes, two dogs, two cats and HER OWN BUSINESS! She considers traveling the most important use of her time other than her almost unnatural obsession with client satisfaction.
Tiffany Melanson, Marketing Maven
A seventh generation Floridian, Tiffany is familiar with what it takes to keep things hot. Once a secondary school educator, it takes a lot to get her rattled and she doesn't believe in lost causes. She was formerly Regional Director of Marketing for a successful real estate sales and marketing company where she oversaw the marketing plans and agency relationships for multi-family developments in Northeast Florida along with the local marketing staff and public relations. Tiffany brings her experience in the real estate marketing field to The Deane Agency along with a cunning sense of current market needs, stunning taste in shoes and excellent poker face.
As Project Manager and Marketing Maven Tiffany is responsible for media research and recommendations, marketing plan development and maintenance, orchestrating on-going client communication, helping to identify target markets to meet individual client needs and copy writing for collateral and public relations marketing.
Outside of her love of writing and reading poetry (yes, people still do that), Tiffany has a passion for the arts, education, hugs from her mother, and the great loves of her life, her husband Sean, daughter Mia and son Miles.
Dave Carden, Graphics Guru
Dave joins the Deane team with experience as a professional graphic designer in both an agency setting and as a staff designer for a local weekly publication. After several years in advertising design Dave’s skills have been honed with client’s as diverse as medical, restaurant, real estate and non-profit.
In his current role Dave is involved in all aspects of the design process for the campaigns of some of The Deane Agency’s most important clientele. When he’s not creating design genius (why else would he be working with us?) he's restoring his flippin’ sweet vintage Vespa, riding some un………………….believable Jacksonville Beach waves or tossing the ball with his pugs Lexi and Norman.
Deane Agency Team:
Tim Burris, Event Extraordinaire
Tim has a diverse and varied background in event planning and management including spending the last 5 years as a staff event coordinator for Alltel Stadium. Tim’s extraordinary attention to detail is highlighted in his continued selection as a freelance member of the event planning and execution committee for the Super Bowl the last four years.
Tim’s role as staff event planner includes the planning, coordination and implementation of all major events for Deane Agency clients. Beyond his natural love of a good party, Tim’s personal passions include shopping for the latest trends in men’s fashion (he’s so fine!) and spoiling his beautiful 5 year old daughter rotten.
Carrie Jackson, Promo Goddess
Carrie’s role as Promo Goddess includes supporting in the administration and delivery of all promotional and print based products for Deane Agency and Deane Direct clients. Her frighteningly accurate attention to detail makes us all wonder if she’s spent a little too much time watching CSI, but we can always count on her to solve any office mystery at a moment’s notice…now where did that Exacto knife disappear to?
Sally Donoghue, First Impression Specialist
As the first point of contact, Sally manages the administration of all major office tasks and general inter-office communication and coordination. When she can be torn away from the task at hand she enjoys cruising and world travel along with spending time with her two favorite children (no, we’re not talking about you Heather and Chris) her adorable shit-zus, Sasha and Spencer.
