Movin’ on Up!

We’ve been busy bees at the Jordan Group with several recent promotions and new hires. As the company grows, our amazing staff continues to demonstrate its talent and dedication. Our most recent changes include two well-deserved promotions and two outstanding new hires.

Let’s start with the promotions. Nicole McRae, formerly our Accounting Manager, has been promoted to Controller. As such, she is responsible for the oversight and management of the company’s accounting functions, will work with Cary Jordan on strategic planning for the company and will prepare all company financial statements. Her eight years of industry experience (including time as a financial analyst for Energizer and audit senior for Deloitte) combined with her education from Saint Louis University have prepared her well for this exceptional transition. Congratulations, Nikki!

Next up is the newly promoted Operations Manager, Michele Christian, formerly our Office Manager. In her new position, she is responsible for scheduling and coordinating company meetings and events, addressing benefit and other HR concerns, maintaining office supply inventory and managing project traffic. This promotion is a natural progression for Michele as she becomes more embedded in the day-to-day functions required to keep our office running smoothly. Kudos, Michele!

Now, we’ll move on to our new hires. We are happy to welcome Alicia Francis to the account team as our Account Coordinator. In this role, she will be responsible for coordinating art and production schedules, preparing production and project estimates for internal and client use, assisting the account service team with various media and local store marketing projects and interacting with clients. She has recently graduated from UMSL with a BS in Business Administration and completed a research internship with Fleishman-Hillard prior to joining our team. Welcome aboard, Alicia!

Last, but certainly not least, is our new Administrative Assistant, Maggie Beattie. In addition to cheerfully greeting all visitors and phone calls, Maggie will also schedule meetings, perform administrative duties and handle all office shipping procedures. With seven years experience from California to Missouri, she has seamlessly taken over these tasks. In addition to her fulltime employment, she is also attending St. Louis Community College and is pursuing her degree in Business Management. Glad to have you here, Maggie!
