ATLANTA, GA, June 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Top performing marketing firm, New Acquisitions, has officially expanded to their newest location in Phoenix, AZ. This is the fourth time this year alone that New Acquisitions has achieved an expansion goal. Regional Director of Operations, Adam Gerald, explained that the need for expansion became apparent at the beginning of the second quarter, which resulted in the new office opening within a few weeks.
Leading the expansion to Phoenix, is New Acquisitions’ most recent promotion, Weston Read, who celebrated his advancement to Director of Operations in January of this year. Read joined the marketing firm’s team in March of 2016 and quickly advanced through entry level and into a Corporate Trainer position. While in the position, he was cross-trained in all major departments of the company, ranging from marketing, sales, public relations and human resources.
Read attributes his success to his background in professional sports and his outgoing nature. In 2012, the Kennesaw State University graduate relocated to Germany to study international business and played soccer on the NCAA men’s team. After spending 3 years studying abroad and teaching English in Germany, Serbia, and Austria, Read moved back to Atlanta where he started his career in marketing and business at New Acquisitions.
“I couldn’t imagine doing anything else,” stated Read when asked about his experience with the company so far. “I’ve always been an enthusiastic and self-driven person, so marketing was something that I picked up easily. However, the training I received here [at New Acquisitions] was the spark that I needed to set my goals higher and to go for an upper level management position in marketing.”
The decision to have Read head the project for the expansion came from Gerald himself. According to Gerald, Read has stood out to him as a strong leader within the office and has no doubts that Read will perform to his expectations.
“Wes was always the most excited person in the office, his enthusiasm for marketing and learning stood out to myself and the management team from day one,” said Gerald on Read’s growth to management. “He was never scared to ask for feedback and he welcomed challenges and solutions as opposed to letting obstacles get him down. All of those qualities are what we look for in a future director at our company.”
As for the rest of the year, Gerald and Schuch both agree that more expansions will be necessary to keep up with the increasing growth of their clients.
“As our clients grow, we must grow as well,” explained Schuch. “My goal is to keep producing for our clients in the next quarter and consider other open markets that we can utilize to spread our clients’ brand.”
Both Schuch and Gerald feel the training that is available to the team at New Acquisitions will be the foundation for any other promotions and expansions that the company will see this year. According to the directors, with the momentum that they’ve seen so far this year, they will continue to produce managers that are ready to lead any future projects that the company might need.
