Since there wasn’t a talent of the week last week, we’re playing catch up and picking two. It works out perfectly since we had an amazing promo this past weekend where Kirsty and Marcy tag-teamed to sell 37 bottles in 2 hours! Marcy is on a couple of our alcohol promotions teams and has always proven to be reliable. Kirsty is new with CMT but has already showed what a great asset she is. Together, they’re even more amazing and are definitely getting booked on these same promotions for the next two months!

Everyone already knows the handsome office mascot, Bruiser, but we now have a couple of new additions! Meet Chilli, the sole female pup in the office. She can be seen wearing a Juicy-esque jeweled pink hoody, heard office-wide with her jingle bell collar, and is most often found stealing bones from Bruiser’s bed. The newest CMT pup, Yogi, is a beautiful Samoyed who thinks he is 1/4 the size he actually is. Once he’s full-grown, his playful paws will more than likely send Bruiser and Chilli flying across the room. Only on the toughest of days do the pups get to lead our CMT Agency meetings…

Shelly and Kimberly got to meet President Jimmy Carter in the Delta Sky Club on their way to the HCEA Conference yesterday! They were also on his plane to Washington DC where he walked down the aisle shaking everyone’s hand. Sounds like a wonderful man!

Our very own Shelly Justice will be hosting the 2011 MOD Awards in Las Vegas! The MOD Awards, hosted in 2010 by celebrity TV and radio personality Leeza Gibbons, will recognize the best-in-class portable modular exhibit designs from around the world. For more information, click here for the official MOD Awards Press Release.

Our talent of the week is Katie! Katie has done a great job working events for us in the past but really stepped up to the plate last week when being called upon last minute. She was more than willing to do everything asked and made her booking agent’s job much easier. We look forward to continuing to work with Katie for this program and many more!

We’re going to start weekly features on those who go above and beyond for us here at CMT Agency. They deserve the recognition and we know we wouldn’t be where we are as an agency without our amazing talent!

Our inaugural talent of the week will be… (insert drumroll)… ELAINA!

Elaina had her first opportunity with CMT recently when she filled in last-minute for two promotions in Miami. She was extremely professional, never got flustered in the last-minute rush, and all while looking gorgeous! Since then, she has worked for us while in Atlanta and, of course, did a great job again.

We all appreciate your hard work, Elaina!
