Keith and Michelle McClung

Owners of Crown Marketing Services/Crown Rentals

Hello and welcome to our website! Crown Marketing Services began in 1996 in Parkersburg, West Virginia. I was honored to hold the position of Marketing Director at Grand Central Mall for six years. It was during those years that I found myself with the task of designing, planning and implementing promotions, events and marketing
strategies for Grand Central Mall and our stores. We did it all...from Celebrity Appearances, to Santa arriving with live reindeer, towering Sand Castles, Jell-O Jumps and countless other promotions....I was hooked!

I find that creative marketing is my specialty. With each mall event I was given the task of developing the marketing and advertising to support those events. Yes, I had a wonderful budget for several years and I got the chance to spend millions and millions of dollars with total creative freedom. (That was nice!)

So, that brings us to today. I simply left my position, at Grand Central Mall, as a result of being burned out. I am happy to tell you that Glimcher Realty Trust (Grand Central Mall's parent company) is still one of my clients today. My relationship never ended with Glimcher after I left Grand Central Mall. I have had the opportunity to work with Grand Central, Morgantown Mall, River Valley and event the Grand Opening events for Polaris Fashion
Place in Columbus, Ohio. (Thanks Glimcher!)

A few weeks after I resigned I received a telephone call from a dear friend who asked if I would be willing to help plan an event for their company. That friend was Sheryl Holdren and the company was St. Joseph's Hospital. Twelve years later, St. Joseph's Hospital and Crown Marketing Services are still great marketing event partners and I cherish that relationship every day.

Alot of events have taken place in twelve years for Crown Marketing Services. We have had the privilege of presenting the areas largest Grand Openings for Hospitals, Medical Complexes and more. You name it...we've done it!....whether it's been a Harley Davidson Themed Event, a Children's Carnival, Full-Scale Theatrical Events and more....we love our
jobs!

We surround ourselves, at Crown Marketing Services, with the areas most talented freelance designers and event assistants. The rule of thumb is, "If you can't find it, call Keith & Crown Marketing."

After twelve years of event planning we have found that our warehouse, basements, garages and closets are full of items that people have a desire to rent for their own events and productions. In February, 2008, we launched Crown Rentals. We don't have a physical place for customers to "walk in" and shop. That saves overhead costs that would, normally, be passed on to our customers (you!) So, we invite people to browse our online rental showroom. In addition, customers can visit our Event Galleries with over 1200 pictures of events. If you see something in the galleries that is not in the showroom, we have it!...just ask.

So, thanks for taking the time to visit our site. Be sure to check out our Client Portfolio as well as our Client Testimonials. We look forward to hearing from you!
