Vincent Zito
Creative Director
For 25+ years at Tanen, Christophe’s talent, dedication to detail and sexy French phone manner have made him memorable to staff and clients alike. Christophe passionately collects the arcane, the quirky and the creative – all a reflection of him.
Christophe Bardot
Designer/Print
Jen is a client’s and agency’s dream – she keeps the work moving with detail and precision. Her work ethic is legendary. And depending on the season, she commutes by a combination of car, ferry and train, each way, every day!
Jen Floridia
Account Director
Franco is never satisfied – with his incredible design work, his stellar soccer abilities, or his hair style. He believes that there’s always something better he could do – and will work tirelessly to make it happen.
Franco Franzese
Designer/Digital
Rui is the agency’s Jack of all Trades and Master of Some. He says Design is his wife, and Video his mistress. For him, it’s all about creating movement and connection – people to people, brain to heart, product to purchase, start to completion.
Rui Weidt
Designer/Video
We needed a real tough cookie to whip designer files into pristine shape. We hired Linda. Turns out she’s the last person to fit that description. She’s gentle. Caring. As fastidious about Tanen Quality Control as she is about her gardening.
Linda Kornmeyer
QC Director
Ginny knows her way around printing complicated work under less-than-desirable deadlines. She can juggle complex mail plans, test matrixes, tracking reports and more like a champ. Which she does. Every day. And sometimes on weekends.
Ginny Halby
Production Director
If ever there was a pitbull who didn’t follow the bad rap of his breed, it would be Rascal. Always a gentleman, Rascal has graciously put up with a parade of employees, children, delivery guys and gals. Just don’t knock on the door and be from UPS.
Rascal
"The Original"
Wriggly is what happens when a shedding machine breeds with a small pony. You get Wriggly. Long of leg, he lets the fur fly when not snuggled under Linda’s desk. He enjoys napping, his mid-day walk and being at the desk with the most dog treats.
Wrigley
"Wiggles"
Truly, Ziggy is one of a kind. The kind you never want more of. If you don’t play ball with him, he whines. If you play ball with him, he whines. If you work, he whines. If you whine, he whines. Other than that, he’s adorable.
Ziggy
"L.F.B"
Fiona has come a long way from the streets of Bowling Green, Kentucky. She’s gone from rescued pup to Queen of the squirrel-chasers, reigning for 13 years with more to come. Currently, she is a part-time office dog, since she only gets along with Rascal.
