Andrea Glowatsky, Sales
Who could have known that a chance meeting with a member of the Source Media Group management team at the Okotoks & District Chamber of Commerce golf tournament six years ago would lead Andrea to her “best job ever”? At the tournament for both the golf and the networking opportunities for her private mortgage-broker business, Andrea left an indelible impression with her outgoing personality. (Her golf swing, not so much.) Fast-forward a couple of years, and Source Media Group needed someone to represent its Okotoks Living magazine — someone from Okotoks, involved in the community and smart enough to learn to sell advertising. “That someone,” says Source associate publisher Jim Zang, “was Andrea Glowatsky.” Since, then, Andrea’s gone on to be the main sales rep on several other projects, including Cochrane Living, and a contributor to all Source Media Group publications.For Andrea, her reward is the positive feedback she gets. “It’s all about connecting to the community,” she says, “and helping people’s businesses grow.”
Colleen Leier, Production Administrator
A veteran of Calgary’s magazine wars, Colleen started with Source Media Group in May of 2012. As Production Administrator she’s the gatekeeper, making sure electronic ad files are shepherded smoothly among Source’s many publications. The Saskatchewan-born jack-of-all-trades also handles invoicing, accounts receivable and office supplies, and she’s the voice you hear on the phone and the first face you see when you walk in the door. She’s a diehard Montreal Canadiens fan, an avid golfer and was a pretty fair ball player in her day.
Colleen loves coming to work every day because it’s “one day closer to retirement and going to Wimbledon.”
Dave Macaulay, Graphic Designer
Your nearest Graphic Design department is usually a good place to look for those who march to their own drummer. Case in point: Dave MacAulay. Dave started at Source Media Group in 2014 and has established himself as a bastion of masculinity in the design department — and as the holder of the Source Media Group record for body piercings. Although he says what motivates him to come to work is “free coffee and faster Internet than at home,” the self-proclaimed “pixel monkey” also admits that “as long as I’m here I might as well help make things look good, too.” And running his own private reptile shelter at home means Dave always has lots of hungry mouths to feed.
Heather Dougall, Sales
Heather came to Source Media Group in November 2010 after spending most of her career on the other side of the table as an advertising buyer, much of it with Cardel Homes. She’s a licensed realtor, so suffice it to say she knows the local home and condo market inside out. As the main advertising rep for Condo Living magazine and a significant ad sales contributor to New Home Living, Heather’s job is to help builders and developers showcase their products.
For Heather, bringing buyers and sellers together is what makes it all worthwhile. “I help Calgarians find the home of their dreams,” she says. “And I get to help companies create strategic and successful marketing plans.”
Peachy Rodriguez, Art Director
Her real name is Jean Faye Rodriguez, but most folks just call her Peachy — as in, everything’s just. And yes, her husband is Pepper Rodriguez, Source Media Group’s Condo Living and New Home Living editor. Peachy started as a senior graphic designer, and grew into the position of art director several years ago. As such, her main task is to maintain the look of all Source publications, heading up a three-person design team. Of course, when you’ve got a degree in Architecture, building a well-designed magazine is a piece of cake.
As for coming to work each morning with her hubby: “It works out just fine,” she says, “as long as he remembers who’s the boss.” Both at home and at work, we presume.
Pepper Rodriguez, Editor
Pepper began his career with Source Media Group as a freelance writer, and became full-time editor of our Resorts magazine in 2008. A year later, he took on the editor’s role with the monthly Condo Living and New Home Living magazines. Pepper’s experience in journalism as a news reporter in Manila makes him a skilled writer and editor, and his friendly, outgoing personality and positive approach to life make him a popular figure on Calgary’s new home scene.
“All the show homes are my stage. Finding new ways to describe four walls is my specialty, and I sincerely believe in providing quality information to people looking for a new home.”
Vivian Zhang, Graphic Designer
Vivian speaks three languages fluently: English, Mandarin and Graphic Design. Vivan joined Source Media Group in January 2016, bringing with her a wealth of publication design experience, including having been Art Director of Dream Homes magazine. As a graphic designer, it’s her job to make the words and photos the editors give her look good.
“It’s all about putting the pieces together and making them look great,” she says. “I love working with people who truly know how to do good work and respect and appreciate each other. I’m having more and more fun all the time.”
