President

Meet Dave—the man behind Rosenberg Advertising, which was founded nearly 30 years ago. Just a young pup back then, Dave grew a beard to attract potential clients. Needless to say, the beard paid off, and soon enough Dave had a full staff and an impressive list of clients. But it wasn't just the luck of the whiskers that put Rosenberg Advertising on the map. Without Dave's hard work and dedication to the company, he would be just any other bearded man. Fortunately he doesn't need the facial hair anymore.

Dave is a pro sports fanatic and a watch enthusiast—it’s good thing we have several luxury timepiece clients. He likes playing golf in his free time.

Oh, and his staff's pretty great too.

Creative Director

Even though there are two Daves wandering around the office, there is only one Dave Simon—the very first employee of Rosenberg Advertising. He has been here 27 years and counting, and has contributed to the tremendous growth the agency has enjoyed over the years.

Besides his work here at Rosenberg, Dave is a talented illustrator who has worked on everything from greeting cards and wallpaper borders to children's magazines. He is also a published writer of both children's stories and horror; his three kids heard the best stories growing up. Dave believes that useless knowledge is a terrible thing to waste, which makes him tough to beat at Trivial Pursuit. Don't believe us? Challenge him to a game.

Account Executive

For more than 20 years, Connie has contributed to the agency’s growth. She manages a drug store account with nearly 70 locations throughout Ohio, which certainly keeps her busy.

Connie’s charming personality and sincere work ethic helped her establish an outstanding rapport with her clients. Using her photography skills, she has even photographed a few of her clients’ weddings. Now, she recreationally takes photos of kids as favors to her friends. As for her own kids…they’re always front and center in the camera lens saying “cheese!” Connie is the epitome of a sports mom and if you need to find her—try the local basketball game, gymnastics match, cheerleading competition or football game. She’ll be the one in front of all the action, snapping photos and cheering her kids on.

Vice President

Rick joined Rosenberg in 2001 with over 25 years of experience in the advertising world. He has developed valuable relationships with the media and works closely with reps to give Rosenberg’s clients the best media value.

Rick is the only Rosenberg staff member with a Golden Buckeye Card—a dubious distinction. He has been a boater his whole life, growing up with summers spent at the Jersey Shore—not at all like the show! In fact, he drove a boat before he even drove a car. He enjoys boating to the Lake Erie islands, Canada and Lake Huron. He has one grandson, Camden, and in December he will have another! Rick’s dog Quincy is an occasional office dog. His “buoyant” (he likes boating too) personality has everybody laughing when he visits.

Account Executive

As a long-time marathon runner, Anna knows the meaning of persistence and dedication. These qualities are evident in her work as well as her commitment to building lasting relationships with two of the agency's top clients.

Anna loves to stay active and busy, and being a mom of four boys definitely allows her to do so. She still enjoys working out and running, and soon she wants to become a spinning instructor—nothing is too much for this high-spirited, advertising mom! She frequently finds her next advertising and marketing ideas from the children’s books she reads to her boys.

Production Manager

Dan is a clock-watcher. Seeing that he's responsible for making sure deadlines are met, that's a good thing! He also coordinates all production with our outside suppliers. With 28 years of production experience behind him, Dan is an expert at telling who what to do when...and where to get it done.

Dan’s ability to juggle several different jobs and continue to stay organized comes in handy when he’s being handy—literally. He enjoys working on home repairs & improvements, landscaping and building things. He has an eye for accuracy, which comes from his background in graphic arts. When he’s not creating and repairing, he likes dining out with friends and biking.

Director of Operations

The Rosenberg staff depends on Marisa to keep the office running smoothly. After working here for eight years, she knows everything there is to know, inside and out. Marisa started out handling Rosenberg's accounting and HR, then worked with media for a while, and then became the account executive for our four watch clients. Now, she does it all with a contagious smile.

It may be hard to believe, but Marisa doesn’t really like animals. Don’t let her big, fuzzy dog fool you! Nika was a package deal—she came along with her husband Bill. Marisa enjoys cooking, baking and loves watching reality TV!

Art Director

With more than seven years of advertising experience, Kara has created remarkable direct mailers and catalogs for our top clients. She has been part of the Rosenberg clan for five years and we are truly lucky to have her. Kara’s art and advertising expertise is also present in her personal life. In her free time, she enjoys designing invitations and announcements for her friends and family. She’s also a phenomenal present-wrapper and can tie perfect bows.

Art Director

Melissa joined Rosenberg Advertising in 2005. With 13 years of experience, Melissa has worked in a variety of design environments, including a boutique design studio, a large, full-service marketing and communications agency and even American Greetings (is there a Cleveland designer who hasn’t worked there?!). Aside from her work experience, Melissa’s great working attitude and fun-loving personality keep the office laughing—and the clients happy. Melissa lives in Lakewood with her husband Matt, their son James, and an astoundingly handsome cat named Ninja.

Art Director/Web Designer

Chelsey is a truly talented designer. Using her eight years of experience and unique style, she has helped Rosenberg’s clients fully build their brands—from creating logos all the way to web sites (and everything in between). She also uses her expertise to teach Digital Media classes at Virginia Marti College of Art and Design.

Everything Chelsey does has a creative twist—it’s just in her nature. She enjoys writing music, throwing pottery and experimenting in the kitchen. She has even expanded her design repertoire to include the area of interior design, as she and her husband (Trevor) renovate their new home.

Account Executive

Jenna has done it all: Marketing, PR and now Advertising… what could be better? Jenna has been a dedicated Account Executive at Rosenberg Advertising and a delightfully fun colleague. Her wide range of professional skills and her charismatic personality definitely show in her work.

Jenna loves to shorten words. To work with Jenna, one must know the definitions of "totes," "ridic," and "perf." She also loves orange juice; it's her favorite "bev." She refuses to drink a mimosa because it will taint the orange juice. That’s the kind of dedication we like our account executives to have!

Search Marketer/Web Developer

Bill coordinates, develops and implements strategies in paid search marketing (PPC) & organic search engine optimization (SEO). Along with developing websites for our clients, Bill is able to improve the visibility of their web pages in search engines, and is focused on driving targeted traffic that results in conversions for a client’s website. With his diverse range of web-related knowledge Bill can take your website and make it perform at its very best.

In the office, Bill is known as a chair-breaker. He is now on his third chair, since 2009. On a typical workday, Bill can be seen working hard at his desk, singing along to his Pandora. At home, he likes to play sports and poker, and he is learning how to play the guitar. Bill is getting married in October! He recently bought a house with his fiancée and they are in the process of renovating it.

New Business Development

A typical workday for Austin includes researching, calling on leads and working with existing clients. Austin is a hard worker and an effective communicator, which are important skills to have when working with prospective clients.

Austin is a true Clevelander, as he is a die-hard Cavaliers fan, and has been since…well, as long as he can remember. When Austin is not hard at work, he likes playing sports, especially basketball, tennis, golf and bocce. He also enjoys biking and painting.

Copywriter

Noelle is the newest member to Rosenberg Advertising. With a publishing background, she brings a different perspective to the bunch. She lives on the Eastside with her husband, their pet Chihuahua, and the latest addition to their family—their daughter, Veda Jane. She's also a budding photographer and bicycle enthusiast.
