KolbeCo Marketing Resources has recently announced the addition of two new members to its team.  The full service marketing and public relations firm based in O’Fallon, Mo. has hired Jaime Powers as its new Account Director and Carey Short as a graphic designer. 

 

Powers will be responsible for the management of integrated marketing campaigns, development of strategies and identifying creative solutions for various clients’ marketing programs. 

 

Prior to joining KolbeCo, Powers worked for Save-A-Lot Food Stores Corporation as the Corporate Communications Manager. While at Save-A-Lot, Powers managed communications and public relations strategies for company’s 1,200 stores, 15 distribution centers and various corporate endeavors. Before joining Save-A-Lot, Powers worked as an Account Executive for Adamson Advertising in Clayton, Mo.

 

Short started with KolbeCo in 2008 as an intern, and recently became a permanent member of the firm’s design team.  She graduated from Lindenwood in May 2009 with a degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in Computer and Graphic Art. Short brings a variety of skills to the team including a strong knowledge of design, illustration and photography. 

 

KolbeCo focuses on small and medium-sized businesses in a variety of industries, including construction, technology, manufacturing, consumer goods, and professional services. The firm was recently awarded a Communicator Award for their redesign of the Wine Country Garden's logo.  In designing the logo, the challenge was to blend existing business with the new wedding and special event facility. For the new design, Wine Country Garden wanted to keep the feel of the brand intact while appealing to a new audience.

 

In addition, KolbeCo was recently nominated as one of the best PR firms in St. Louis by Small Business Monthly (to be announced in the July issue). The firm was also named one of the top PR firms in St. Louis by the St. Louis Business Journal from 2006-2008, and earned a spot on the 2008 List of Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies in St. Louis.
