The For Momentum Team

It’s not about doing what’s easy, it’s about doing what’s right.

Mollye Rhea, President and Founder

A visionary, an envelope pusher, a mover and shaker, I do it all. Drawing on a balanced, blended background in advertising, non-profit and corporate marketing, I start by knowing you and your business model inside and out. Then I look at all the possibilities and break down the details. In short, I make sure your Cause Marketing plan is bulletproof. Leadership is my style. Smart, efficient strategies are my trademark. With every relationship, I think and act responsibly every step of the way. Experience has taught me well, having honed my skills working for leading companies such as Young and Rubicam, McCann–Erickson, Arthritis Foundation and Intercontinental Hotels Group. As an eternal optimist, I drive for perfection. It’s not just the best path to success, for me, it’s the only path to success.

“I see what is possible and trust my knowledge and instincts to make it a reality.”

Intelligent strategy infused with creativity is a win–win for everybody.

I lead by example. I am intuitive and instinctive. With over 20 years of Strategic Alliance and Cause Marketing experience, I possess critical insight that is unique. I am a strategic thinker and have an innate ability to identify effective solutions. Fresh perspective is what I bring to the table, with an emphasis on both corporate and non–profit needs. Over the years, I’ve helped raise millions of dollars in a variety of Membership, Marketing and Development roles with leading non-profit and cultural attractions. In every case, I always work with one simple goal in mind — generating proven results and complete satisfaction for each of our valued clients.

“My approach is all about maximizing value for both corporate and non–profit organizations.”

Relationships always drive business results. Understanding your customers and what’s important to them is paramount.

I'm a perfectionist focused on delivering the best possible solution to meet each client’s unique needs and goals. Our clients deserve a well thought out strategy and innovative implementation plan with a sharp eye on the unique characteristics of their target audience.

Drawing from over 25 years of experience in marketing and communications at agency, corporate and nonprofit institutions, I bring a 360° view to bear when analyzing our clients’ challenges and delivering effective solutions.

My extensive work with top agencies such as Frankel & Co. and Carlson Marketing and some of America’s most well-known brands including, Lexus, Ford, Pizza Hut, Northwest Airlines and Mitsubishi Electronics has taught me that relationships always drive business results—whether that’s relationships with new audiences or long-time donors; employees or channel partners; the media or community partners.

From the first contact with our clients to the last, I strive to listen carefully to deeply understand and address the needs of all key stakeholders.

“Satisfied clients aren't enough. I want true For Momentum believers.”

Strategic vision combined with smart planning and strong execution are the proven ingredients that lead to success.

Fresh ideas, innovative solutions, and intuitive flashes of insight are the tools I use to create dynamic solutions. With over 15 years of experience in cause marketing, event marketing & strategic partnerships, I have seen the dividends true collaboration and teamwork produce. I think smart and deliver big. I lead, organize, manage and plan. From strategy through execution, my analytical and creative skills lead to successful revenue and awareness–generating efforts — just as they have done for names such as Holiday Inn, Pfizer, Rebuilding Together and more. I help shape possibilities that are as practical as they are potent, taking you where you want to go. I am a project execution–ist. Determined and sensitive. Industrious and resourceful. A talker and a listener. That’s me. So if you’re ready to reach new levels of success, count on me to help lead the way.

“I take a fresh approach with each new challenge — committing myself totally to successful outcomes.”

Information is power — knowing how to manage it, organize it, and leverage it is where uncommon levels of success can be found.

Kelly Gifford, Account Executive

I am a true entrepreneurial spirit. Meticulous and detail–oriented, tactical and logistical, a planner and leader, I deliver exceptional service and value on a daily basis. But it didn’t just happen overnight. My years in helping mutually advance both corporate and non–profit objectives have honed my skills to a sharp edge. It all adds up to a keen knowledge in building and coordinating teams, while focusing on results for each and every client — a perfect balance between being proactive and reactive. This is how I’ve helped corporations including Novartis and Intercontinental Hotels Group reach their goals. So if you want someone who will take responsibility for your brand with dedication, commitment, and passion, I’m your girl. I am a manager. I am an achiever. I’m there for you to turn vision into reality.

“Tell me something can’t be done, and I’ll show you exactly how to achieve it.”

When you help a non–profit and a corporation work together in mutually beneficial ways, the results can be truly amazing.

Kim Nobel, Account Executive

Sometimes clients ask me if I’ve successfully cloned myself. Why? Maybe because I get so much accomplished, so efficiently, no one believes it’s just me doing it all. What can I say, I am a true “people person” with an uncanny ability to get things done right the first time — every time. I am determined. I am persistent. And I always live up to my promise. The way I see it, you have to truly believe in what you are doing to be successful. And I do. 100%. My extensive experience in deploying national, multi–channel marketing initiatives has generated strong results for Holiday Inn Express, Reading is Fundamental and the Arthritis Foundation just to name a few. My ability to think strategically, manage projects and build relationships always makes for a rewarding client experience. So bring on your toughest challenges. I can handle it.

“Corporate social responsibility has never been more important, or more rewarding.”

Listening is the key to any good relationship, eventuality, and success.

Vesatee Turk, Account Coordinator / Office Manager

I prefer doing the job right the first time, rather than taking shortcuts that may lessen the quality of my work. I am a leader. I believe in a persistent improvement of knowledge and ability. These skills have led to my success as a corporate trainer and project manager for Ryder Logistics for over 8 years. I have also been instrumental in assisting other small marketing firms with the implementation of their processes and goals. At For Momentum we have a cohesive team which makes for a productive workforce. So tell us what you need and we will make it work for you.

“Helping nonprofits and corporations realize their strategic potential can be nothing but beneficial.”
