Carmichael Lynch Names Char Roseblade Director of Marketing

Ad agency Carmichael Lynch recently named as its director of marketing. Roseblade is responsible for leading the marketing, business development and communications initiatives for the agency, and positioning Carmichael Lynch as a leader in advertising, public relations and digital communications. She oversees a team of three professionals, including manager of business development Chris Nilsen; communications specialist Chelsea Fadden and business development intern, Abby Tinberg. Roseblade reports to Doug Spong, president of Carmichael Lynch.

Roseblade has extensive marketing experience, having served in a client services role for the majority of her career.
