MG Design adds senior account executive

MG Design Associates recently announced the addition of Redge Heislitz to its account team. Bringing his 15 years of exhibit sales experience from around the globe, Heislitz is MG Design’s newest senior account executive.


Heislitz first came to the United States from South Africa to join the 1984 Olympic running team. Qualifying for both the ’84 and ’88 Olympics, Heislitz didn’t end up participating, but that didn’t set him off course. In 1985, while at the New York Marathon visiting Adidas’ booth, he noticed the various exhibits around him and his interest in tradeshows and exhibits took off.

His cross-country exhibit training has prepared him to run at top speed with MG Design.

“When you run with others, they help you run faster and longer,” said Heislitz. “MG Design’s talented and resourceful lineup will help me offer my clients expanded quality services to remove the marketing challenges in their way.”

Heislitz’s tradeshow experience spans the globe. He has provided his clients with quality support from start to finish at events throughout Europe, Japan, the Middle East and Brazil.

“We were pleased to add such a qualified exhibit specialist to our team,” said Gail Behun, MG Design vice president of sales. “Redge knows the pace of the industry and he knows how a successful exhibit can help achieve the reward. His inspirational story demonstrates you can come to America with little in your pocket and through hard work, you can make a strong career. Redge applies this same philosophy to working with his clients. They come with a dream or an idea and he makes it his goal to make it happen.”
