Today, we are announcing a transition at Canary Promotion.  Canary co-owner and head of our design department, Mason Wendell, has taken a new position as Creative Director at another Philadelphia web development firm called Zivtech.  We’re thrilled for Mason and this new opportunity to develop the newly created design department at Zivtech.  And although Canary Promotion will no longer offer design services, we’re excited about the opportunity to focus fully on the “Promotion” side of our business and expand our publicity, marketing, social media and consulting services with some new clients and upcoming projects.

On a personal note, Mason and I have been working together in some form for about 17 years - pretty much since we met the first day of college.  First, we worked together as musicians and songwriters, then as indie record label owners, and for the past nine years, as co-owners of Canary Promotion + Design.  Most people say to us, “Oh, I could never work with my spouse.”  But it’s always worked for us.  We motivate and inspire each other to do our best work (even if the constructive criticism isn’t always easy to swallow).

I’ll miss having Mason in the Canary office, but thankfully we’ll still see each other at quitting time.  And yes, as Technically Philly reported this morning, “marital bliss remains in place.”

Read on for our official press release on the transition.

Owner, Publicity & Marketing Director
