Transitions are Hell. Change is Good.

Phil’s Song — Time to Fly

We’ve been lucky at Marketing By Design. In nearly 25 years of Joel’s and my partnership, we’ve had incredibly small employee turnover. Usually a move or a life change caused our parting, and we’ve always remained friends. Life is too short for the alternative.

Hats off to Phil Tretheway, with MbD since 2002 as a young pup. He’s become an accomplished designer, a husband, a father of two, a social media practitioner; all while remaining a solid human being.

We offer our congratulations and deep wishes for success as you, Phil, move to your new position as Director of Marketing and Communications at the Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.

It’s been a wonderful nine+ years, with growth, challenges, new territory that you led us into; and we appreciate it all.

Don’t be a stranger…

And we know you won’t be, because we’ll be asking you to come back and remind us how to manage the CMS!
