5. 60+ YEARS OF COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE
OUR LEADERSHIP
Michael Chaney, CEO
Michael’s resume can be summed up in four words. Madison Avenue, Silicon Valley. His early career was spent in senior management positions at
New York’s largest ad agencies. Clients included half a dozen Procter & Gamble brands, Johnnie Walker, Ramada Hotels, and the Advertising Council.
In 1994, Michael co-founded US Interactive, a small consulting firm of six professionals that he helped build into a NASDAQ-traded company with
clients such as IBM, American Express, and Lexus. Today, you’ll find him at MEA Digital immersed in brand positioning and web analytics.
John Hartman, President
He hasn’t done it all. But John’s on pace to. He’s an online marketing industry veteran with experience in both start-ups and established companies.
In 2001, he was part of the founding team of Involve, Inc., an “involvement marketing” agency. Involve, Inc. was sold in 2003 to Kintera, a company that
went public nine months later. Early in his career, John was a manager at Accenture, focusing on financial services, including online banking and
insurance. Today, he works with clients to develop effective online marketing campaigns.
Tamara Bousquet, EVP, Media Director
With 13 years of integrated planning experience, Tamara brings a get-’er-done work ethic to the agency. She’s worked with some of the most
recognizable brands on the planet, including Hewlett-Packard, UPS, Xerox, and Universal Pictures. Most recently, she managed the worldwide digital
assignment for Apple at OMD, helping the most popular fruit in the world establish an indomitable presence on the web with a series of elegant, first-
ever executions. Now Tamara focuses on media strategy, as well as agency improvement and growth.
Cathleen Ryan, CRO, Director of Account Services
Cathleen is a true interactive evangelist. She touts more than ten years of experience in branding, strategy, e-commerce design and development,
digital marketing, and analytics. Before joining MEA Digital, she successfully guided marketing strategy and development projects for clients such as
Toshiba, Qualcomm, the San Diego Chargers, and WD-40. Today, she inspires client success by combining strategic and tactical approaches while
pursuing exceptional ideas. Can we get an “Amen?”
Fernando Campos, Creative Director
Some are web guys. Others are idea guys. A select few wear both hats. Fernando’s been pulling it off for more than a decade, creating award-winning
campaigns for Coca-Cola, Nestle, Walt Disney, and “Sesame Street.” Today, he continues to focus his attention on transforming ideas of all sizes into
results-driven executions for MEA Digital’s wide range of clients, including Oakley, Cars.com, and Callaway.
