Chestnut Ridge, NY (January 22, 2014)  — MC2, a leading brand experience and face-to-face marketing organization, is pleased to announce that Neal Foard has joined the company as Senior Vice President, Experience Design Director.

Foard, 52, will lead the company's experience design efforts based in their newly established Los Angeles office.

"Our clients are increasingly looking to us for more robust creative offerings with an emphasis on deep brand experiences at their important events as well as within their exhibit spaces and permanent environments," said Gary Benson, MC2 CEO. "I see Neal as an important contributor to MC2’s continued development in these areas, with particular emphasis on our growing automotive business."

Foard is expected to become a critical member of MC2's leadership team as the company continues to grow and enhance their business offerings from a strong foundation in fabrication and logistical support to a broader range of strategic services.

He joins MC2 as the company opens its 12th facility in the U.S. The Los Angeles location comes on the heels of opening of MC2 Europe with the acquisition of ProFair in Dusseldorf, Germany.
