Who / Our Staff
Cindy Long Mackey, Marketing/Public Relations/Special Events
Alphabetizes her spice rack. Peacenik. Translated cheerleading into a career.
Law firms, commercial real estate, insurance, finance, nonprofit, hospitality and travel—Cindy’s managed pretty much every kind of account possible during her 25-year career. She handles each one enthusiastically, with her own personal brand of cheerful creativity. When it comes to getting the word out about Otto’s clients, she’s the absolute best.
Public relations, promotions and special events are her specialty, and she’s worked on such high profile accounts as the grand opening and job fair for MacArthur Center, The Art of Glass, Boardwalk Art Show, the Virginia Flower & Garden Show, the effort to bring Major League Baseball to Hampton Roads, Kingston Plantation, and the Coastal Living Idea House at East Beach. Altogether, Cindy has almost single-handedly generated millions of dollars in public relations exposure for Otto’s clients. Wow.
Cindy also spends time giving valuable advertising and public relations support to area non-profit organizations, including: Tidewater Arts Outreach, Hope House Foundation, the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia, Norfolk Botanical Garden, the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia and The Virginian-Pilot Joy Fund. She serves on numerous boards, chairs several committees, and has even won a couple of Hampton Roads’ volunteer achievement awards. We’re not exactly sure how she has any spare time—but we sure are impressed.
