New hires at CLM

CLM Marketing & Advertising in Boise has added three new names to their staff — Nicolet Laursen, Oscar Mariscal, and Danielle Strollo. From the folks at CLM:

Nicolet LaursenNicolet Laursen is a graphic designer and developer who joined CLM in June. She spent her childhood roughing it in the resort towns of South Lake Tahoe and Coeur d’Alene before attending Boise State University to pursue her career in design. From 2008-2011, she worked as an interactive designer at Balihoo before starting her own company. Outside of the day job, she spends her time painting in her studio, running in the foothills and volunteering for worthy causes.

Oscar MariscalOscar Mariscal is a media planner, who graduated from the College of Idaho in May with a degree in business and an emphasis in marketing. When he’s not identifying media opportunities for our clients, you’ll find him running around town setting PRs in his half marathon training or serving aces on the tennis courts.

Danielle StrolloFormer East Coaster Danielle Strollo graduated from Dartmouth College in 2007 with a degree in History, or as she puts it, “Cocktail Party Factoids.” She came to us this May after a stint with Boise-based Tick Tock Media Productions, and before that worked in writing and fundraising in the Bay Area. If she’s not wordsmithing, she’s playing soccer or training for a triathlon, so look out for her speeding through Ann Morrison Park.

Congratulations to all.
