If there’s one thing M&R Marketing loves, it’s seeing our talented professionals step up to new challenges, embrace new roles, and take on exciting, new responsibilities. We’ve recently celebrated four—that’s right, four—promotions internally, and it’s about time we share the news with you.
Brynn Codone
From Project Manager to Senior Project Manager
Brynn Codone has graciously accepted the position of senior project manager, a position that hasn’t existed before at M&R.
When we did away with our account manager position in 2023, we divided up the sales team between business development managers (BDMs) and project managers (PM). Brynn joined the project manager team, the stellar group who frequently communicates with clients and our production team to ensure projects stay on track and on time.
The PM department launched with no senior to lead the others—we didn’t think we needed one. But over time, we noticed that whenever a PM had a question, they were turning to Brynn. And whenever anyone else in the office had a PM-related question, they were turning to Brynn. As it turns out, we all had a lot of questions for Brynn.
It only made sense to create the position of senior project manager and give her the role.
Since February 2025, Brynn has been excelling as senior project manager, managing her projects, managing her fellow PMs, and effectively communicating with clients, BDMs, and production team members.
Congrats, Brynn!
Chris Canady
From Business Development Manager to Senior Digital Strategist
Chris Canady has recently stepped into the role of senior digital strategist after almost five years in the M&R sales department.
Chris Joined M&R in 2020 as an account manager and stepped in the role of BDM when we reorganized the sales department in 2023. After years of crafting effective, impactful marketing strategies for his clients, Chris felt a growing desire to have a more direct hand in strategy creation for his and all clients at M&R, especially in the ever-evolving world of digital marketing. With this realization in mind, he was eager to accept the opportunity to lead the digital department as our senior digital strategist.
Chris brings half a decade of marketing strategy experience to the department and is prepared to ensure our clients receive exceptional digital services that will elevate their campaigns, drive conversions, and lead to positive results, all while leading his fellow digital strategists.
Congrats, Chris!
Jasmine Thaxton
From Scheduling Coordinator to Resource Manager
Jasmine Thaxton has leveled up from scheduling coordinator to resource manager for M&R Marketing.
As resource manager, Jasmine is all about helping our team get projects in on time and under budget. Truly the behind-the-scenes puppet master for our many projects, she collaborates with the sales team, department seniors, and production members to evaluate project requirements, develop plans and timelines, and strategize how we use our time to help shape what’s next with each project. Should something throw her timeline or schedule off, she jumps right on it to mitigate the interruption and get things back on track.
Congrats, Jasmine!
Sydney Spivey
From Digital Strategist to Digital Strategist AND Marketing Specialist
Sydney Spivey has recently accepted the additional role of marketing specialist for M&R.
Sydney joined M&R in May of 2023 as a new member of our growing digital department. For more than two years, she has diligently served her clients with digital strategies pertaining to Google and Microsoft ads, social media account management, social media ads, business listings, geofencing campaigns, email marketing, and so much more.
