Insider staff additions

Two talented professionals have recently joined AICPA Custom Media Solutions to assist the E-newsletter team with its increasingly demanding, high-frequency publishing schedule. Managing Editor, Gordon MacPherson, joins us from reference publisher R.R.

His past experience includes product development and production positions with the Research Institute of America, Inc. (a division of Thomson Tax & Accounting), Dow Jones & Company and LexisNexis (a division of Reed Elsevier, Inc.).

Advertising Production Coordinator, Nicole Cordani, joins us from the AICPA’s Northstar Conference marketing division where she specialized in CPE building strategies for both legal and accounting events. Earlier, Nicole served in a variety of media buying and planning roles for New York-based advertising agency The Lord Group/Spier NY.

“Gordon and Nicole have the unique ability to balance a daunting array of daily, weekly and monthly workflow demands without losing their focus on the big picture,” notes Berkowitz. “In addition to having a great rapport with our writers and advertising clients, they have both proven themselves as creative and resourceful strategists who have significantly mitigated our growing pains.”
