New Hire at CLM

CLM in Boise has added a new face.  Joel Bartron has joined the agency as Writer and New Media Coordinator.

Prior to joining CLM, Joel was the founder and writer of the satirical news site The Pith Report, and was also in retail technology sales.  He is a graduate of the University of Montana with a degree in English, and also studied Media Arts.

In addition to all of that, he has taken up the art of beer brewing with his brother — always a useful skill to have, especially in this line of business.

Congratulations Joel.
