Name: SABRINA DEAN

Title: Account Executive

Childhood Aspirations: News Anchor or Singer

Details: I started interning at Mass Media Marketing while attending Augusta State University several years ago and fell in love with the agency business. After a few years working in other relevant areas, I came back to the company that prompted my passion for all things media. I love the planning involved when rolling out a new campaign or simply optimizing a client’s current one. Although some people may cringe when they have to write, I enjoy every aspect (scripts, proposals, emails, you name it!). Few people can honestly say they love going to work every day; I am one of the few.

Free Time: Since I have three boys (including my husband J) they tend to keep me very busy with school and sports. I’m originally from Southern California so I try to visit my extended family out there as much as possible…in an ideal situation, I would spontaneously travel the world, read hundreds of novels and drink copious amounts of coffee. For now, it is limited to family friendly locales and an occasional concert or two.

Name: KOREY SWIFT

Title: Admin/Graphic Designer

Childhood Aspirations: Professional Horseback rider or singer

Details: I started as an intern at Mass Media in the summer of 2007 and have been here ever since. I recently graduated from Augusta Technical College where I am studed Printing Technology and Media Communications. Here at Mass Media I do everything from administrative work and answering phones to Graphic Design. My Favorite part of my job is the people I work with and the atmosphere, we all get along so well. I get to do what I love while spending time with people who are hilarious and entertaining, we seem to all complement each others’ strengths and help to build off of our weaknesses. If you’ve ever been in our office for any amount of time you know how crazy it can get, but our craziness and the the ability to laugh things off is what keeps us going.

Free Time: I grew up at the lake so there is where I like to spend my time outside of work, relaxing and hanging out with friends and family, and just over all enjoying life, I love to laugh, joke, and be spontaneous. Some of my hobbies are photography, art, and water sports like waterskiing and wakboarding.

Details: No two days are the same and that’s what I love about my job! There is always something exciting going on; whether it’s commercials, print ads or websites, we are always busy creating new and exciting things for our clients. I like projects that challenge me, and I strive to pay attention to detail. I find it interesting learning about new types of business and discovering ways to help our clients be successful.

Free Time: When I’m not working I love to spend time with my husband! We are always on the go, go, go! My family and friends are everything to me so I try to spend as much time with them as possible. I’m a Georgia fan (Go Dawgs!) and enjoy sporting events and concerts. I love shopping, but I love finding a great bargain even more!
