Linda Nadeau The newest Sales Representative at the SunRise

Meet Linda Nadeau. Even if you are only an occasional reader of Johnston’s hometown paper, the Johnston SunRise, then you have already seen the meticulous work of this talented and experienced employee. For the past several years, Linda Nadeau has borne the title of graphic designer at the SunRise.

While in this capacity, Linda was responsible for designing the display ads for many of the businesses that advertise in this popular local newspaper. Often taking scribbled notes from the paper’s dedicated sales staff, Linda could take the ideas of these advertisers and turn them into visual ads that would draw the eye of prospective customers. Linda, a former small business owner herself, knows that an eye-catching ad can make all the difference when getting the word out about a fledgling or even a well-established business. If there is anything Linda knows about, it is how to promote a product or a service.

Linda’s years as the Creative Director and designer for Beacon Communications have prepared her for the next stage of her career as she takes on a new job title with the SunRise. She will now move from the “back of the house” and out into the community as the SunRise’s newest sales representative. Linda will be assuming partnerships with former, current and potential business owners from throughout the city who want to advertise in the paper. She will reach out to these owners and work with them to find the best way to invest their advertising dollars.

Those who have worked with Linda love her for her easy-going, friendly and relaxed style. Quick to smile and slow to stress, she is the perfect person to interact with the many businesses throughout the region. She is professional, accessible and dependable. She will work hard with advertisers to stretch their dollars and to get the best “bang for their buck.” Linda, who owned and operated an antiques and consignment shop in Warwick several years ago. remembers well the strain of scraping up enough money to advertise. She knew that the adage that says “you need to spend money to make money” was true and that a well-placed ad could give her much needed exposure . . . and customers. Linda brings this same empathy, knowledge and sensibility to her new role at the SunRise.

As you are deciding how best to get the word out about your business, your first call should be to Linda Nadeau at the SunRise. Linda will walk you through every option, from the smallest one column ad to a full-page ad, and everything in between (including this business spotlight page!). Because she knows so much about both the creative and the technical process, Linda will work hard for you and with you, from that first call to the final “reveal.”
