CREATIVE COMPANY TEAM GROWS WITH A NEW ART DIRECTOR
McMinnville-based award-winning marketing and branding firm, Creative Company, has added a new Art Director to its team. Marlon Alojepan brings more than a decade of experience and a fresh perspective-he balances outstanding design with meticulous execution. With a BFA in Graphic Design and more than 15 years in the field, Alojepan brings a wealth of knowledge, creative vision and a refined style to the Creative Company team. His history working with small businesses to work for the impressive sports giant, Nike, means he can adapt his style and vision to fit, and exceed, client expectations.

"We're delighted to have Marlon join our team. His experience and keen eye in design, branding and print round out the team well. We're looking forward to more award-winning work in 2017!" offered Jennifer Larsen Morrow, president of Creative Company. Alojepan collaborates to make every piece, every design forward thinking and visually striking, balancing exceptional art with thoughtful design. He has already taken on the creative lead on Creative Company's new re-brand campaign. And he adds a bit more tropical flavor-he's the third person at Creative Company with strong ties to the Hawaiian Islands.

When he's not keeping busy for Creative Company clients, Alojepan immerses himself in aesthetics. If he isn't at a car show enjoying beautiful cars, he's exploring Pinterest or Behance, just soaking up art and design ideas.

McMINNVILLE LOVE LOCKS, SET TO UNVEIL
McMinnville Love Locks will be unveiling their first art piece that is dedicated to place love locks (padlocks) on as an expression of your love to your companion, partner, pet or in memory of someone. A Launch Party for McMinnville Love Locks is on February 14, 2017, from 12 - 8pm in the Granary District parking lot. 

One of the ways that McMinnville Love Locks is giving to Grad night is by holding an annual fundraiser for MHS Grad Night so on Feb 14th we will be selling hot choc, coffee and Voodoo Donuts at the Launch Party. The second way that McMinnville Love Locks is giving to MHS Grad Night is by making some of the products with the help of MHS students to be sold by McMinnville Love Locks and a percentage of the sales is then given to each graduating class. We hope you will join us and support McMinnville Love Locks supporting MHS Grad Night!
