Appoints Derek Morrison as Newest Addition to the In-House Marketing Team
Mulino, Ore. – January 6, 2010 –
Sunstone Circuits®, the printed circuit board (PCB) prototype
solutions provider, has appointed Derek Morrison as the media marketing manager.
In this position, Morrison will play a critical role in the advertising, branding
and public relations programs for Sunstone Circuits.
Morrison brings 10 years of diverse marketing experience to Sunstone’s in-house
Marketing team. He previously served as an account director at MagnumWerks Advertising
where he oversaw the advertising, branding and public relations efforts for numerous
national clients. Prior to his more than three-year tenure at MagnumWerks, Morrison
was in charge of advertising sales and media relations for well-known national brands
in his role as a senior account manager at Clear Channel Communications.
“Derek brings the perfect combination of media relations, advertising and branding
experience, as well as strong strategic planning and marketing integration skills
to Sunstone’s growing internal marketing team,” said Diane Economaki, director or
marketing for Sunstone Circuits. “As we continue to rapidly innovate and enhance
our ‘extreme’ customer service model, Derek’s role will be critical in keeping our
customers informed of the latest innovations from Sunstone.”
Morrison’s duties will include the strategic planning and execution of a wide range
of media and marketing activities such as media buying, media relations, industry
conference participation and the development of key external communication materials.
“I’m thrilled to be on board with an established, industry leader like Sunstone
Circuits,” said Morrison. “The majority of my prior professional experience was
focused on client services at the highest level of satisfaction, which is why Sunstone’s
commitment to extreme excellence in customer service made the company a natural
fit for my next career move.”
Morrison will take over Sunstone’s public relations program from Portland, Ore.-based
LANE PR, an independently held public relations agency dedicated to driving business
success for clients. Sunstone Circuits and LANE PR have been partners since 2006.
“LANE PR played a critical role in building Sunstone’s media relations program from
scratch through ‘extreme’ public relations services,” said Sunstone Circuits president
and CEO Terry Heilman. “We are grateful for the significant increase in awareness
Sunstone has experienced during the past few years due to the world class efforts
of LANE PR and now we are very excited to significantly grow this effort, through
our expanding in-house marketing team.”
