Marita Cardenas, a strong leader, creative idea machine, and VCU graduate, interned with the Accounts Services team at Madison+Main in 2008. She has rejoined the firm as an Account Executive.

Kennedy Heidel, a former copywriting/PR intern for the firm, has also joined Madison+Main’s Communication team this week as a Junior Communication Specialist. After interning at the agency and graduating from James Madison University in 2017, Heidel worked as a freelance copywriter for an online retail company. Armed with a degree in Communication Studies and Creative Advertising, Heidel will assist the agency with bold branding, marketing, and PR initiatives. Check out Kennedy’s LinkedIn page.

“Our internship program is an opportunity to see how much potential someone has in the field, fine tune their skills, and help establish their work ethic,” said Madison+Main’s President, Molly Whitfield. “Getting to bring back former interns as full time team members afterward is just the cherry on top. Both Kennedy and Marita have a unique professional style that fits with our wide range of services and clients and will help communicate our motto that Bold Brands Win.”

With these two new additions to the team, Madison+Main continues its steady, managed growth as a company. Madison+Main will continue to adapt to meet its client’s marketing and branding needs by cultivating a qualified and competent team, Whitfield said.
