CALGARY, AB – OCTOBER 4, 2007 Following a series of new business wins, Trigger Communications & Design Ltd. has staffed up in its client services and creative departments.
Joining as Account Supervisor is Jason Morton, who has relocated to Calgary from Winnipeg, where at McKim Cringan George he worked with clients such as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Manitoba Lotteries Corporation, HudBay Minerals and Granny’s Poultry, to name a few. Jason’s fiancée, Jayme Doll, is the new weekend TV news anchor for Global Calgary.
Two other new faces in client services are Account Coordinators Leanne Rutherford and Megan Rokosh.
