An accomplished marketing and media professional with over 15 years of experience in the advertising industry, Michaela brings a diversified background to Alliance Media Group with both national and local media buying, planning and account management experience gained from having worked in agencies both large and small.

Michaela started her marketing career as a Junior Buyer at Goldberg, Marchesano and Partners, a full-service advertising agency in Washington, D.C., handling nationally known brands such as Papa John’s Pizza, Consolidated Edison New York, London Fog, Vitamin Superstore, National Geographic and The HoneyBaked Ham Company.

Looking to broaden her experience beyond just being a buyer, Michaela left Goldberg, but remained in Washington D.C. with a new position as Senior Buyer/Planner at Davis & Company.  There she handled the media planning and purchasing for Arby’s, Children’s Hospital, Kline Tyson Toyota, Sandy Spring Bank, and Political Issue Advertising.

Michaela’s next move took her to New York City where she had the opportunity to work for Total Media Corp. as an Account Manager for NYMC (a national talent search company), buying media in over 200 markets, including Canada and Puerto Rico.

In 2006, Michaela and her husband relocated to Allentown with a desire to start a family. Michaela joined the media department at Total Marketing Resources, and eventually moved on to become part of the newly formed entity Alliance Media Group.

Born and raised in Germany, Michaela began her studies at the University of Hamburg and realized very soon that she needed to satisfy her sense of adventure and go beyond her comfort zone.  She moved to the United States and continued her studies at the University of Maryland where she completed her BA in Journalism with an emphasis in Public Relations and Marketing.

Today, Michaela resides in Macungie with her husband and their daughter.

For nearly 35 years Josy was employed as the accounting manager for Associated Credit Bureau Services, the local credit/collection agency that maintained the Lehigh Valley’s consumer credit reports. She supervised a department of five in all aspects of the daily operations. When business relationships with Trans Union were no longer viable around 2005, the name was changed to the ACBS Group, Inc. with a business focus primarily on real estate closings and public record court house searches.

She stayed on at ACBS Group Inc., and while her title was controller, she assumed a variety of duties in the organization, from secretary /treasury to human resource functions. ACBS was eventually sold to a company in Philadelphia in 2008, and Josy opted to remain in the Lehigh Valley.

As fate would have it, ACBS leased space in the same building that Glenn Geissinger was in previously, and as Alliance Media Group was being formed and in need of a Controller, as they say, the rest is history. For Alliance Media Group, Josy is in charge of making sure media is run and placed as noted, matching affidavits for client invoices, and insuring our vendors are taken care of in a timely manner.

Josy is originally from Bethlehem and now resides in Allentown with her husband, Allen.
