Ten years ago, two persons opened the A Group.

Today, the A Group is a creative hub adding three employees during the past month.

We are excited to introduce new account managers Kristen Pope and Kristen Heffern and video producer, director, and editor David McKay to our clients.

Kristen Pope comes to Nashville from North Carolina. A 2008 graduate of the University of North Carolina, Kristen's experience is in marketing and public relations. She's comfortable with meeting the needs of a variety of clients, having worked with Fortune 500 companies as well as with nonprofit organizations, such as Hope for Haiti Foundation.

Having an Anna and Diana and a Ginny and Jenny wasn't challenging enough, so we decided to add a second Kristen to the mix. East Tennessee native Kristen Heffern is an excellent fit for moving the agency's branding development side forward. She's worked on public relations campaigns with several recognizable brands, including Christian publisher Zondervan and Family Christian Stores, as well as Nashville institutions, The Iroquois Steeplechase and The Hermitage Hotel.

Award-winning visual expert David McKay joins us as a video producer, director and editor. Leading the group's production and online services, David's work has taken him as far as Siberia, Africa and the Peruvian jungle. He has served such diverse clients as The Food Channel, Builders International, and The Assembly of God World Missions. David's talents have earned accolades from the ADDY awards, the CINEMerge's "Best Short Film" award and recognition for being one of the "Top 25 Films in the Nation" in 2006.

In Kristen, Kristen, and David, The A Group adds more talent, experience, and expertise to its team. We're excited to offer our clients ever-increasing and all-compassing marketing and media services.
