ABOUT US

Meet Our Team

 

Jennifer Aries – President

Jennifer loves marketing and PR, especially when it can change someone’s life for the better. She believes we have the best team in the industry – they blow her away with their talent every single day. She loves sports (especially football), boating on a lake, pizza and Oreos.
She doesn’t like mean people or turbulence. Her favorite saying is by Carson Tinker: Be a blessing.

Trish Lamantia – CEO

Trish oversees the agency’s operations and technology. She works with the company leadership team to strategize on how to be best-in-class while serving our clients. Outside of work, she enjoys life in wine country, spending time with her family, and loves to escape to the mountains or the Hawaiian islands to refresh when time allows.

Crystal Berry – Vice President

Crystal enjoys football with her family, changing the world with her colleagues, and serving her community through committees and volunteer work. She loves sunsets, hard work, hearing her children belly laugh, and coffee on the porch with her husband.

 

Jeff Robertson – Director of Technologies

Jeff, our digital Yoda, has a passion for technology, magic, and the force! A professional photographer, avid fisherman, and undoubtedly an eventual finalist on “You Probably Shouldn’t Dance”, his opinions are his own and not necessarily shared by reasonable-minded people.

Dewey Price – Senior Director of Public Relations & Marketing

Dewey believes in the power of a strong brand, appreciates collaborating with his positive and inspiring colleagues, and takes pride in seeing a happy client. He enjoys chilling by the campfire with his family and friends while reliving old memories and making new ones. Most evenings, you will find him surrounded by loved ones and a thick cloud of barbecue smoke.

Maggie Morley – Graphic Designer

Maggie is always striving to learn new things and continue to grow as a designer. Through her experience, she has developed an affinity for branding, copywriting, and UI/UX design. Outside of work, she loves cooking and baking, working out, and surrounding herself with cats and plants.

Gregg Wood – Graphic Designer

Gregg is an art lover with a passion for design and skills that make the stodgy look stupendous. When he isn’t enjoying beach days, cooking or hanging with friends, Gregg likes to step away from his laptop and practice traditional arts using a pencil or paintbrush. Although he is always learning to keep his skills sharp, Gregg attacks every project with the mentality of a graphic design rock star aiming to amaze clients and leave them wanting an artistic encore.

Grant Hubbell – Senior Director of Web & Technology

Grant is our Web Guru. He is very good.

Ray Garcia – Videographer / Photographer

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, “East Bay Ray” is our awesome videographer. He loves pretty much all sports, but especially the San Francisco Giants, the 49ers, the Warriors and the Earthquakes. He’s a chef in my dreams and music is a passion. He’s one of the singers for a band called Hair Supply, the world’s only true Air Supply tribute band. He loves to create and tell stories through video and photos. He’s happiest when he’s able to help our clients deliver their message or brand creatively, making it personal and professional.

Robin Dalton

Robin keeps tracks of our dollars and cents. She enjoys working behind the scenes and helping our clients achieve their goals. She feels like 25th Hour and our clients are one big family. In her off time, she enjoys gardening, spending time with her grandchildren and boating at the lake.

Lauren McDermott – Project Manager

Lauren is like a shark — she never stops moving. Thanks to a steady diet of coffee, vegan food, yoga, outdoor runs and quality time with her family, she is always on the go.
What makes Lauren jump out of bed every day? Besides the aforementioned smell of coffee and her beautiful family, it’s the idea that every day is a new opportunity to make the world a better place by helping people tell their stories. That has been the ribbon that runs throughout the entirety of her career from journalist, nonprofit public relations chief, arena marketing manager to project manager. Empathy is at the heart of great communication and great business and that is the compass that Lauren follows in her work and personal life.

Camille Bunch – Marketing Technician

Cami is a product of the University of Alabama’s Culverhouse College of Business with a major in marketing and minors in advertising and computing tech and applications. She is a forever and always proud alum of the Nu Beta chapter of Chi Omega. She’s thankful to 25th Hour for providing her with her first job out of college, and she’s excited to finally use her marketing degree that her parents spent so much money on. She loves listening to podcasts, reading, and above all shopping for things she doesn’t need. Cami believes that there is no better time than the Fall because it brings about Halloween, her favorite holiday, and unmatched Saturdays down south with Crimson Tide. Roll Tide!

Madison Pizzato – Marketing Specialist

Madison is a marketing and advertising fanatic. She loves being able to reach people to remind them of something valuable through advertising. She is a graduate of the University of Alabama’s College of Communication and Information Sciences with a major in advertising and a minor in business.
