Welcome Holly Mott, our new Account Coordinator who hits the ground running on July 6th! Holly hails from Stoneleigh-Burnham School where she served as Director of Communications. Needless to say, Holly brings a bundle of skills to the office…and is just a plain great person. You will enjoy interacting with with her, and we’re thrilled she’s here.

Bidwell ID welcomes marketing interns Jonathan Gogel and Katherine Dantis, and design intern Justine Therrien to the team.

Jonathan is a senior at the UMass Isenberg School of Management and will receive a bachelor in marketing with a minor in sociology. Outside the office, Jonathan enjoys spending hours making electronic music on his computer and riding his skateboard through the crowded streets of Amherst.

Katherine is a Jersey girl getting accustomed to the Western Massachusetts lifestyle. She is also a marketing major at UMass Isenberg School of Management, and a humanitarian at heart. During her free time, she acts as an avid volunteer and enjoys the nerdy pleasures of reading and movie going.

Riding into the Bidwell scene, Justine Therrien, is a recent college graduate of the University of Hartford. She has a BFA in Graphic Design, and long-term plans of becoming an independent designer, and mastering the technique of juggling. Other activities she enjoys are baking delicious cookies, singing, any activity outdoors and making impressions of Lorraine from Mad TV. But the biggest plans are more imminent: gittin’ hitched this September. Congratulations to Justine and her groom-to-be Jimmy.

Our Baystate Health TV ads for Mary Lane Hospital hit the airwaves, and the billboards are hitting the motorways (starting around Exit 4 on the Pike). Big thanks to Trish Perrault at Baystate Health, and Alex Simon of LogicTrail.

Bidwell ID welcomes our new design intern. Gianna Abbondanza is a UMass Dartmouth graduate with a BFA in Graphic Design. She is our fourth intern from the Dartmouth program, and we’re starting to think there is something in the water. Gianna is a huge fan of live music, photography and reality television. She has big dreams of moving into Boston and landing a job in publication design.
