Betty Crews Joins Working Media Group Atlanta

Online, June 28, 2011 (Newswire.com) - ATLANTA - Betty Crews has joined Working Media Group Atlanta (WMGA) as its office coordinator. CEO Lisa Holton hand selected Crews, a nine-year veteran of the media industry, to join the firm as Office Coordinator.

Crews worked with Holton at Media Brokers International (MBI) for six years prior to joining WMGA. "When Lisa asked me to join the WMGA team, I jumped at the chance," Crews said. "Lisa and I hit it off from the day we met six years ago and I am extremely excited to be working with her again. I've worked with several WMGA employees previously and I'm impressed with the team they've built. The atmosphere at WMGA is relaxed, full of team spirit and like a family!"

In her new role, Crews will manage all aspects of the office including accounts receivable, accounts payable and sales support. In addition to serving as Office Coordinator, Crews has also adopted the role of "office mom," a term she inherited in her career thanks to baking incredible treats and bringing them in to the office for her coworkers to enjoy. "Making people comfortable at work and creating smiles has always been a priority of mine," notes Crews. Crews' previous experience includes serving as executive administrator at MBI, administrative assistant to the senior vice president of merchandising at Lowe's Corporate, as well as administrative assistant to the managing director of corporate and consumer affairs for US Airways. In her personal time, Crews, a mother of three and grandmother of four, enjoys playing ALTA tennis and fitting in a round of golf with her husband Don.

"Betty brings a level of professionalism and strategic skill that we value here at Working Media Group. Her many talents will be an asset to the organization," said Holton.
