Experience

1. President

   Cunningham Group, Inc

   May 1974 — Present · Montgomery, AL, US

   I opened the agency in 1974 with two great professionals after having worked only four years with two other agencies.It was the best possible learning curve. I have been in every aspect of marketing and public relations. Nearly 40 years later I have seen the profession change completely with technology the driving force in production and delivery of the message. But technology will never replace the brain power of great creative talent, just methodology in production. Experience is still one of the best teachers if we only listen and learn. I now serve as president, account supervisor & member of the strategic planning team and have worked with countless local, state and national clients. My years in the profession have provided extensive experience with and understanding of strategic marketing and public relations.Achievements/certifications: Auburn University Bachelor of Fine Arts degree 1970 Cum LaudeAuburn University President’s Award May 1970Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society April 1970Birmingham-Southern College 19••••••08 Public Relations Council of Alabama Practitioner of the YearSenior Practitioner, Southern Public Relations FederationConsistent Lantern Award winnerPast President, American Advertising Federation– MontgomerySilver Medal recipient, American Advertising FederationConsistent ADDY® Award winnerCurrent board member, American Cancer Society MontgomeryPast member and presenter, International Council of Shopping CentersGraduate of Leadership MontgomeryPast Vestry and Senior Warden, Episcopal Church of the AscensionPast member, Alabama Film Commission Board of Commissioners20••••13 member Alabama State University Department of Communications Advisory CouncilCurrent member Auburn University College of Liberal Arts Dean\'s Advisory Council
