We are pleased to welcome Michael P. Flynn of Melrose as marketing assistant/junior strategist.

In this new position, Mike will work with the account management team in areas including client support, project management, and managing and monitoring multiple branded social media accounts, with a special focus on creative strategy.

After earning a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Providence College and achieving United States Professional Tennis Association certification as a teaching professional, Mike joined the staff of Winchester Indoor Lawn and Tennis Center as an instructor and marketing administration assistant. He later also joined the Winchester Swim and Tennis Club, where he advanced from assistant director of tennis to director of tennis, managing staff, conducting clinics, planning and promoting special events, teaching, and coaching, as well as managing marketing and communications responsibilities.

He also served for five seasons as a volunteer for the Saugus High School girls tennis team, assisting the coaches during tryouts and practices.

While enrolled in the Professional Development program at the Bertolon School of Business at Salem State University, Mike co-founded Foreevo LLC and designed and developed the ChargedUp™ Tennis portable glow-in-the-dark tennis kit, raising funds for the project through Indiegogo crowdfunding. The nighttime tennis kit, comprised of rechargeable phosphorescent strips and markers, is now sold online and will be available soon at local tennis clubs.
