Some fun news for a Friday. We’re celebrating the promotion of Allison Checco, our newest Senior Director. If you know Alli, I suspect you’re not surprised. She spends most of her time spreading sunshine around the Fast Horse World Headquarters while simultaneously kicking ass for our clients.

From trusted client counselor and special events superstar to media relations bulldog and social media strategist, you won’t find anyone more versatile. All that and she finds time to be a pretty great mom, too. Not bad for a small town girl from Aberdeen, S.D., huh?

Alli has had a big hand in the success of Fast Horse over the last seven years and she’s universally loved by her colleagues. In fact, the announcement of her promotion set off a party around here that would make Keith Richards blush. Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but we did crack open a bottle of champagne before noon.

I’ve heaped a lot of praise, but she deserves every bit of it. By the way Peepshow readers, Alli doesn’t shy away from a little attention, so feel free to join me in offering her congratulations.
