Mannix Marketing Hires New Sales Manager For Albany.com

GLENS FALLS, NY (July 21, 2009) – Mannix Marketing, Inc. has bolstered its marketing team this June with a new full-time sales manager for Albany.com, Rick Marchant.

“We are very pleased to have Rick join our team,” says Sara Mannix, founder and president of Mannix Marketing, Inc. “Rick really cares about the region and his clients, and his knowledge and dedicated approach to marketing will help businesses get found on the web in Albany and the entire Capital-Saratoga Region.”

Marchant brings with him over six years experience in the print industry from working at a few different media outlets, including his helping to launch Saratoga Today newspaper in 2006. Marchant says he will continue working part-time for the newspaper, where he has many friends that often he considers “family.”

Marchant hails from Arlington, MA. He actually schooled at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where his passion for Engineering and the Environment found him head over heels in love with the Capital Region.

Rick Marchant carries other impressive experiences on his résumé. He is the founding Executive Director of the Capital Job Development Group, a chairperson and member of several other boards and committees inclusive of being the Acting Secretary on The Board of Directors for the Downtown Business Association in Saratoga Springs, an Adirondack Region Steering Committee Member for Junior Achievement, a Board member for the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network, a Newsletter and Marketing Committee Member (former Director) for the Capital Region Human Resource Association, and many more. He is also the 2009 Chairperson for the Saratoga Springs Downtown Business Association Fall Festival to be held Oct 30-Nov 1.

On top of all this, Marchant is a full-time student at (SUNY) Empire State College, studying Business Management & Economics, with a concentration in Human Resource Management, where he was recently recognized with a Community Service Award from the Northeast Center.

Marchant says he is learning something new each day at Mannix Marketing. He hopes to use what he learns here, to “help community partners and other friends who are venturing to be found online and to get their voices heard!”
