Amy Clevidence has been named President, with Jennifer Gough being named Vice President of the agency.
"2019 was an experimental year for us," says Jonas Neihoff, Founder of Socially Present. "As I took the time to work on other ventures, Jennifer and Amy stepped up to the challenge of leading the company and they absolutely crushed it! Their incredible work ethic, innovative thinking, and servant leadership led to a record year for several of our clients and Socially Present having one of our best years ever. It's been amazing to watch these two women lead, and they've earned the opportunity to direct the next chapter."
Clevidence joined the group in 2018 as the Director of Communication, and was promoted to Partner and Vice President of Operations in 2019.
"Over the past two years I have witnessed the growth of Socially Present, both in terms of the number of clients we serve as well as the sophisticated service lines we offer to meet our client's business and growth needs," Clevidence continued, "There are tremendous opportunities ahead of us. I am honored to take on this expanded role and look forward to working with Jennifer and our talented team of professionals to continue to deliver marketing solutions that help our area businesses grow and prosper."
Gough originally joined Socially Present back in 2015 as a Project Manager after moving from Dallas to Paducah. In 2019 she was promoted to Partner and Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
She said, "It's been inspiring to witness Socially Present grow from the early stages of paving a path that made a place for us in the market to now an award-winning full-service marketing and consulting agency in such a short time. With an entrepreneurial heart, I've always been fascinated by the way a business ticks and work hard to continue to educate myself in order to help my clients connect the dots between their business goals and winning marketing strategies. I am grateful for Jonas's mentorship and our team of professionals who constantly challenge themselves to bring our clients' vision to reality. It's truly a reward to get to serve our community and staff every day. When Amy joined the Socially Present team, I knew we had the missing puzzle piece to help us take it to the next level, and I am honored to work side by side with her daily to continue to grow the business and create custom strategies that help our clients win time and time again."
Both will take on their new positions beginning on March 20. Neihoff, founding Partner and current President will be stepping away from operations, although he will remain involved in the company as the owner and member of their executive leadership team.
"I cherish the opportunity and season I've had to serve as President of Socially Present," concludes Jonas. "I'm so grateful to the mentors who invested in me, a team that shared my vision, and our clients who have trusted us over the years. Socially Present wouldn't exist without their love and support. To see an idea start as notes in a journal and become what it is today is incredibly rewarding. The experience as a whole has helped me grow in countless ways and I'm thankful for every minute of it. As I pursue other ventures, I will remain in my role as a senior partner at Socially Present, and I'm excited to take a backseat as Amy and Jennifer lead in this next chapter. They are impressive in every way and to see these ladies lead is fun to watch. I have no doubt they will far exceed all expectations."
