Though it seems like she’s always been a part of this magazine, we’re now making it official – Emily Munger is The Laurel’s newest Account Manager.
Emily and Michelle Munger
The Laurel Magazine happily welcomes their newest account manager, Emily Munger, into the Laurel family.
It’s more accurate to say that we’re officially welcoming Emily because she has always been a part of The Laurel family as she is the niece of managing partner Janet Cummings, and the daughter of art director Michelle Munger.
From childhood, Emily watched with pride as her family’s hard work was rewarded when The Laurel grew from The Little Magazine That Could into the area’s most enjoyed and sought-after resource for information about the Plateau. Her lifelong dream was to one day work alongside her family and now that dream is reality. The million-watt smile she’s always wearing is evidence that dreams do come true.
This new role as an account manager is tailor-made for her. Emily graduated from Highlands High School in 2012 and her deep roots mean she knows the area, she knows the people and she knows the businesses.
She loves meeting new people and her smiling, friendly demeanor and enthusiasm puts her clients at ease. They know she is invested in showcasing the best of the mountains by helping them design and achieve their advertising plans. It gives her great pleasure to work alongside businesses, watching them grow and expand.
From the information-gathering stage to the final glossy product, Emily collaborates with each client to ensure that their visions come to life. She feels strongly that each business is also part of this magical Laurel family. That personal commitment means she goes the extra mile.
When Emily is not busy reaching out to new and existing clients and brainstorming ways to expand The Laurel’s territory and reach, she’s a family gal through and through, cherishing time with her fiancé and their two children, Aiden, 7 years old, and Abigail, 5. Family time is where she recharges her batteries, whether it’s family movie night, playtime in the yard, or an increasingly busy sports schedule now that her kids are getting older.
She’s thankful every day that she’s now the role model for her kids that her Mom and Aunt were to her and is excited to pass down the Laurel dream. Nothing would make her happier than to one day work alongside one or both of her children.
