Middleton, WI (2 June 2010) -- A mainstay of ETC’s marketing department for over 13 years as the company’s promotions and advertising manager, Jody Hanson passed away on Sunday, May 30, 2010. The global family of ETC grieves the loss.
From January 1997, when Jody started at ETC, she brought her passion for professionalism to the ETC marketing team, locally and globally. Entrusted with ETC’s representation to the promotional media, Jody was well known and respected in the industry. She led countless successful promotional campaigns and projects for ETC—on every new product since the introduction of the Obsession® II lighting control console.
As Electronic Theatre Controls’ chief executive officer Fred Foster reflects, “Jody gathered together a truly creative team of people who produced more than 100 trade shows, hundreds of media placements, and uncountable hits on our website. They all followed her professional lead to produce a precise and complete image for ETC. We all miss Jody, but her impact on our lives will never fade.”
ETC vice president of Marketing Bill Gallinghouse concurs: “Jody had a unique ability to break down the largest and most complex objectives into manageable parts and guide them perfectly to fruition.”
Born on January 10, 1954, Jody was a Wisconsinite who made the Madison area her home for the last 14 years. She is survived by her husband John, and her daughter Emily.
A memorial will take place for Jody on Saturday, June 5, 2010, in her hometown of Columbus, Wisconsin, at St. Jerome’s Church, 1550 Farnham St., starting at 8:30am followed by a memorial mass of burial at 10:30am.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that people make donations to or volunteer time with their favorite charity.
