Michele
Rowan –
Director of Marketing
(502) 581-1511
x224
Soon after Michele joined BSG Financial
in 2004, she developed a postcard
to highlight the company’s expanded
product offerings. On the front was
a picture of a really huge pair of
“tighty-whities” hanging
on a clothesline >>view
postcard image. To her surprise,
BSG Financial’s management team
said, “We love it! It may not
be conventional, but it will get noticed.”
Michele was so thrilled to be working
at a company that was willing (and
still is) to take risks and stand
out in an innovative and unconventional
way.
Today, as then, Michele
strives to keep BSG Financial’s
name and image current in a crowded
financial industry, while also arming
the company’s Business Development
team with professional marketing materials.
In her professional career she has
been a copywriter, an advertising
agency account executive, graphic
designer, marketing director, and
public relations manager. One of her
crowning achievements was to have
her letter read on the Viewer Mail
segment of Late Night with David Letterman.
Some people think it’s weird
that she raises chickens in her back
yard, but they are always happy to
get fresh eggs.
