Account Service Team

Mike Carella

Principal, Marketing Architect

r2d2_robot.jpgAn account service specialist by nature and trade, Mike's responsibilities include key account servicing, the development of marketing plans, strategic research, budgeting, and a bunch of boring stuff that owners have to do.

Greatest attribute: Mike can turn a paper bag into a paper mache wolf in minutes flat. Unbelievable craftsmanship in the blink of a naked eye.

Greatest challenge: Accepting the fact that "Star Wars" is a fictional saga. Granted, it did seem so real what with those accomodating droids and shiny lightsabers...

Dennis Hogan

Production Manager

As the senior member of our staff, Dennis is an institution of marketing and advertising agency knowledge. He keeps the Saltwater staff on task, and goes to great lengths to ensure clients' needs are met in a timely and orderly fashion.

Greatest attribute: He makes plum cakes that - regardless of your tastes and culinary preferences - will make you want to sit, eat, eat again, and then eat some more.

Greatest challenge: Taking a day off. Dennis has a legendary work ethic that, until now, has only been documented in fiction novels.

Mariah Keith

Account Supervisor

Mariah is a versatile account manager with roots in copywriting and marketing strategy. She has a tremendous love for the industry, and a passion for great work.

Greatest attribute: Her sense of loyalty. Despite being a proud graduate of Southern Methodist University, Mariah is a die-hard fan of the college football team she grew up rooting for, Louisiana State University (her dad's alma mater). She's also a cowboy boot collector. That might not be an attribute, but it's flipping awesome!

Greatest challenge: Maintaining her composure at a four-way intersection. "Everybody tries to be nice and nobody goes. It makes me so mad." That's a direct quote. Don't mess with the bull, or you may get the horns.
