Vital Design Expands With New Account Manager

Portsmouth, NH – Local marketing company Vital Design has expanded and is pleased to announce the arrival of Jess Thompson in the new position of Account Manager. Thompson joined Vital Design in July to help meet client needs and to facilitate traffic flow for client marketing.

“We're thrilled to welcome a professional of Jess's caliber,” said Vital Design Managing Partner Zac Gregg. “Clearly, she will help us manage the great uptick in traffic we've seen in the past year, so that we can continue to provide quality customer service in addition to inspired marketing for all of our clients.”

Thompson is also responsible for managing marketing projects such as website design, printed collateral, and branding work. In her newly created position, she reports to Creative Director/Managing Partner Julia Ahumada, who co-founded Vital with Gregg in 2002. Thompson will also work as a client advocate during Vital's creative process.

Thompson's previous experience includes account management for both a New York rewards and loyalty company and for a Boston financial institution. She holds a B.A. in business administration with a concentration in marketing and finance from Northeastern University.

“I'm so happy to be here in this great city of Portsmouth,” Thompson said. “I feel like Vital is a serendipitous fit for my business experience and for my personality.”

Vital Design provides website design, print design, copywriting, advertising, public relations, online marketing, and creative messaging across a range of industries to clients throughout the nation. Vital's eight-person studio is located in IOS Business Centers at 155 Fleet Street.

“We've grown in sheer workforce and in the capabilities we can offer our clients,” Ahumada said. “Jess's arrival continues that positive growth and we feel fortunate to have her.”
