Felisha Midgett - ball of fire
Felisha is a ball of fire. Well not literally, because then we’d have to up our property insurance, but you get the idea. She is a can -do, get-it-done, but make sure it’s fantastic kind of person. She learned her p chops at AutoTrader, Crispin, Porter, and Bogusky and then at McKinney all of which taught her not only project management but a fluency in the digital space.

The Gang (So Far)
This is the core group. If this were Hollywood Squares does that mean David is Paul Lynde?
Oscar Zabala, alchemist
Oscar is perfect for Baldwin&. He’s a hell of a good designer/art director/thinker and he’s completely web 2.0. But it may be his non-advertising life that makes him even more interesting. He’s been a designer, photographer and animator for years and also a scout for Columbia records, all while touring with his band, Rodeia. How good is Oscar? He’s so good he almost didn’t finish school because he had so many job offers months before he was due to finish.
Jerry Bodrie, superconductor
Not your typical suit, Jerry is our kind of account guy. He digs-in, learning everything he can about the product, the brand, the customer and the category because he knows that we can’t do our business if we don’t know your business. He contributes at every stage of the process, and he can foster a meeting of the minds without threat of abacination. As a leader on the team that tripled Audi’s business when the automotive press had already pronounced the brand dead, Jerry is always up for a challenge.

Bob Ranew, day dreamer
Bob can do anything. He’s one of those guys. He’s an amazing illustrator, Photographer, Art Director, Designer and even an early online Viral Pioneer. (Click here to see Bob Ranew and Grant Pace’s spot for Smart Beep, Blind date on youtube. You’ll see why teenagers signed up in droves for the service.) Bob has won every award there is to win but is maybe most proud of setting sales records 6 years in a row for Audi when he was a creative director at McKinney.

Erin Bredemann, digitess
Erin is a veritable fount of knowledge on all things digital. Before Baldwin& she worked at McKinney, Agency.com and Temerlin McClain helping those companies establish themselves in the digital space. Over the years the teams she’s collaborated with have produced work that won a Cannes Lion, two One Show pencils, an Andy, two Yahoo! Creative summit Purple chair awards, four IAB Mixx Awards, two Buzz Awards, and an effie.

Jennifer Barresi, relationship counselor
Jennifer has made great use of her psychology major at Oneonta State University by creating new and innovative ways to engage consumers. In fact, she viewed media as a creative discipline long before it was en vogue. Her impact has been felt the most on Audi, Polaris Industries, Southern Comfort, Qwest and Volvo Trucks. Her work has been consistently recognized for both creativity and effectiveness. Two things Jenn believes go hand in hand.
Dave Alsobrooks, human interests activist
Dave splits his time between advertising and fine art. He was showing works in a number of mediums from Charlotte to Chicago to New York and London when he realized he was still merely solving communication problems in creative ways. What he realized, too, was he missed solving the problems of other people. You see Dave has a bleeding heart for brands in need — and dogs, paper samples and custom sneakers.
Dan Carlton, director of common sense
Dan is bright. In fact, he’s one of the smartest guys we’ve ever worked with. He started his career with strategic planning jobs at Fallon Minneapolis and then McKinney in Durham, NC, where he became the youngest VP in the company’s 35 year history. Dan has become one of the most awarded strategists of the past few years, winning best newcomer at the Jay Chiat Planning Awards.
Dan also has a company called the Paragraph Project.
Molly McKinley, mother of invention
Molly is a product launching, PR driving machine. Her career is chalk full of product launches, brand launches, non-profit launches and even artist launches. She lives by the credo that “Everything great starts as somebody’s daydream.” She’s lead over 60 product launches in corporate, consumer and technology PR. She also co-owns her own brands, Happikins and Luckybug leading her to be featured on Oprah as an official Mompreneur.

Shawn Covely, digital sherpa
Shawn is a Producer. Special emphasis on the cap ‘p.’ He has tons of interactive experience, producing and managing the production of micro sites, online advertising, widgets, social media, and email for clients such as Audi of America, Sony, Mitsubishi Motors, Southern Comfort, Universal Studios, and Seagram. But he’s also produced his own environmental magazine, Footprint. He’s especially talented at bridging the gap between teams, programmers and clients throughout the entire production process.
