Carey Tannehill

Account Service & Director of Operations

Carey Tannehill is a seasoned automotive advertising executive with over ten years of experience working on both local and regional automotive accounts. Carey spent her first three years in the agency business servicing local dealer accounts with dealer groups including; Van Tuyl, Sonic and Asbury. Early on in her career she learned that her passion was automotive marketing. Being a “car girl” with a lot of ambition, she quickly rose up the ranks and was promoted from Assistant Account Executive to Account Executive and was responsible for total monthly billings of $800K a month. Carey was then recruited by 22 Squared (formerly West Wayne), who relocated her to Atlanta to work on the Southeast Toyota Distributor (SET), account. Carey spent the next five years wearing a lot of hats, and rising up the ladder. She handled a host of responsibilities which included; developing a streamlined process to communicate with agency Field Managers, working with the SET client on high-end advertising production, interfacing with agency media and digital efforts, and managing agency field activities with 29 dealers across 8 DMAs. Then something occurred that very rarely happens. Carey’s tenure and success was quickly noticed by the client, and SET recruited her away from the agency. She joined Southeast Toyota in Deerfield Beach, FL. Her primary responsibility was to serve as a liaison between the SET marketing department and the SET field managers. Carey then was recruited again, by her eventual husband. They relocated to the mid west and she left the business for a short period of time to start a family. Both her and her husband relocated back to Atlanta and they have two beautiful daughters. We didn’t think twice of getting Carey under the Cypress tree. She now enjoys a prominent role in the organization, managing accounts, and also serving as the company Director of Operations.
