An eight-year veteran in the industry, Sara began her career at The Graham Group in New Orleans, where she worked on such diverse accounts as the Louisiana Lottery, Grand Casino Coushatta, Hotel Monteleone and Children’s Hospital. In 2005, she began a stint at The Johnson Group in Chattanooga, where she was the lead buyer for The Krystal Company. Most recently, she was employed by Moore & Scarry, a Fort Myers-based agency specializing in automotive marketing. Sara is graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a BA in English and Mass Communications.

New Orleans native Lynne McMillen returned to the agency in November as a Senior Interactive Media Planner. Lynne worked at Peter Mayer from 2001 until 2005, when she relocated to Seattle to join Razorfish. She moved up the ranks at Razorfish, ultimately becoming a Senior Media Planner. Among the many high-profile national brands she has provided online media strategy for are Best Buy, Expedia.com, Weight Watchers and LensCrafters. Lynne holds an MBA from Tulane University’s Freeman School of Business, in addition to an undergraduate degree in Marketing.

These two new staff additions boost the agency’s media team to 16 full-time employees, including four online media specialists.
