Loading ...MG Design adds and promotes
MG Design has promoted two veteran staffers and added a manager of rental solutions.
Gail Behun
Gail Behun has been named Vice President of Sales. Behun has been a valuable part of MG Design for more than 13 years, working her way up from the position of Account Manager to Account Executive to Vice President. Behun started her career as a theatrical set designer before entering the world of face-to-face marketing. Her extensive experience as an account manager at MG Design has taught her logistics, scheduling and the nuances of successfully managing extensive programs. This combination of creativity and tactical implementation serves MG Design clients exceptionally well.
“Gail is a big-idea person with a flair for creating exceptional marketing experiences but she’s also very practical and driven to create solutions that reflect the realities of today’s market. It’s a unique combination of skills that really benefit MG Design’s clients and our entire team” said President Michael Grivas in announcing Behun’s promotion.
Kristin Castelli
Kristin Castelli has been named Vice President of National Accounts. Ten years ago, Castelli opened MG Design’s San Francisco office and since then has helped clients to develop successful exhibit programs designed to achieve their marketing objectives in industries as diverse as technology, healthcare and manufacturing including a number of Fortune 500 companies. In her new position, Castelli is responsible for supporting large national and international accounts as a valuable resource for clients with extensive exhibit programs.
“Kristin brings ingenuity to the table for every client. She understands firsthand the challenges of the marketplace and works hard to help clients bring their brands to life on the show floor,” shared Grivas. “In this new role, she adds marketing expertise and industry experience for the benefit of our clients’ exhibit programs and is a resource for the entire MG Design team in supporting our clients.”
Tim Stefaniak
MG Design has also added Tim Stefaniak as Manager, Rental Solutions. In this position, Stefaniak is charged with creating value-driven rental solutions that fit clients’ creative needs – and their budgets. Stefaniak brings extensive rental exhibit experience to MG Design having spent the past decade helping companies to establish and grow their rental programs. His hands-on experience in designing rental solutions that fit clients’ unique needs will greatly benefit MG Design clients and their exhibit programs.
“One of the biggest effects of the current economy is the belt tightening that we’ve all seen from clients. Every day we challenge ourselves to be as resourceful and cost-effective as possible,” explained Grivas. “Creating value requires us to be imaginative in combining rental solutions with custom elements to deliver solutions that meet clients’ needs. That’s what Tim’s entire focus will be – creating value for clients.”

Wow… this is exciting… I never thought I’d see the day… but… hey, here we are.
It’s about DAMN TIME! Best way to keep tabs on the industry short of networking at EXHIBITOR SHOW.
I like this! Sign me up.
Why are we so passionate about trade shows? Does anyone have a definitive answer? I’d love to know.

Thanks Jeff. It’s great to have a designation that really explains what we are – fans, believers, supporters, boosters, and enthusiasts of our industry. It’s easy to explain to clients, friends, colleagues, and instantly understood ;^)
Bob… there is no other Bob Thomas like you… you are truly a one-off. Your contributions to the business are vast and broad… and you appreciated for all you’ve done.
Congratulations Jeff! Your search is over. I know you have been looking for someone with nuanced intellect, quick wit, sex appeal and star power for the Blues Wall…and you’ve found that and more in my dear friend Art Veale. They don”t come any better than Art. It’s been said that “it’s always darkest right before it’s pitch black”. Well, if that is the case….here’s the light at the end of our tunnel. I’m signing up.

Question: Are we having fun yet?
Congrats, Ben. It's been a while since we did the AYFS gig but as usual, you pulled it together and made it happen. You certainly deserve the top honors… Bus
You had me at "Back to School."
Can't wait to add TSE to my resume….no explanation of course! I 'll get calls just to know what it is!
Thanks, Bernadette… I assume you meant CTE… Certified Tradeshow Enthusiast… We'll look forward to it…
I like your program, but complicated for old guys like me to communicate
keep up the good work.
Way to go – love when the efforts pay off
Thanks… we love it, too
To have EVOLUTION you first must create CHANGE. To create CHANGE, you must think of it as an acronym.
