Michael founded Pennyhorse in 1999 after working as a freelance marketing consultant and later as editor of a business journal in Connecticut. While collaborating with other marketing agencies, he noticed that shortages of creativity and slow execution of ideas abounded.

Upon returning to New Hampshire, Michael opened the doors to Pennyhorse. He saw the need for a boutique agency that overflowed with creativity, but had the discipline to execute ideas. Since the very first day, Pennyhorse has provided this for companies of all sizes - from start-ups to Fortune 500 corporations.

Staying true to the boutique agency model, as President/CEO, Michael works closely with all Pennyhorse clients. He is hands-on and views client relationships as partnerships in which all parties share a common goal - to accomplish the primary marketing objectives. Michael's main responsibility at Pennyhorse, in addition to being a key contact for clients, is to ensure that all client objectives are met.

Michael recently served as President of the Merrimack, NH Chamber of Commerce and is the co-founder of Swan Chocolates, a nationally recognized manufacturer and retailer based in New Hampshire. He is a certified chocoholic.

After graduating with her Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic design, Amber began her career at a small studio in Austin, Texas. Prior to joining Pennyhorse, she also worked at a larger full service agency specializing in financial and healthcare marketing - creating ad campaigns, printed literature, direct mail and brand identities. She finds working in the intimate environment of a boutique agency more creatively challenging and rewarding.

As the Creative Director at Pennyhorse Marketing, Amber is responsible for developing and managing creative projects in multiple medias. Working closely with clients, her award winning designs and fresh ideas always yield successful results.

Amber's creative work has garnered local and national recognition, including awards from the NH Creative Club, NH Internet Awards and American Graphic Design Awards. She is also a fine artist.
