Reveal hires three former Advertisers staff, adds new account manager

With the closing of Advertisers Display & Exhibits in St. Louis at the end of August, Reveal has hired three of their former staff. Reveal has also hired a new account manager. 

Gary Schneider, a new account executive, is a 14-year veteran of the exhibit industry, having held sales positions with transportation and cabinet-making companies before assuming the account executive’s role at Advertisers in 1998.

“Gary brings to Reveal a wealth of market knowledge and experience at a time when we are looking to expand business development. He is a solid guy with a very loyal following,” said Jim Obermeyer, partner. “His background and reputation for excellence will fit in very well with our culture.”

In addition, Reveal has hired Don Grzina, designer and project manager at Advertisers for 15 years. Grzina’s experience in design, detailing and project management will allow him to have immediate impact at Reveal.

“Don’s length and breadth of experience in our industry is exactly what we need right now. With our current growth and need for additional operational expertise, he will be able to step in and help immediately,” said James Chapin, partner at Reveal.

Jeff Greaves, a 30-year veteran carpenter with Advertisers for five years, has also joined Reveal’s production team. Greaves adds to the quality and craftsmanship of the Reveal team at a time when the company is working long shifts and overtime to meet production schedules.

In addition to the three former Advertisers employees, Reveal has also added a new account manager.

Mary Ann Simmons has been involved in account management for 12 years, having held positions in several firms.

In her role at Reveal, Simmons will be responsible for account management for some of the company’s largest clients. She will be focusing on ensuring that client events are completed on time, within budget and exceeding expectations.

“We have worked with Mary Ann for years at two of our key supplier companies. It will be great to have her exceptional energy, expertise and attention to detail focused on our clients and their projects,” said James Chapin, partner at Reveal.

Reveal is a company established to provide event marketing products and services for tradeshow, event, museum, corporate lobby and permanent installation clients locally, nationally and internationally.
