Chip Tuttle

Chip Tuttle - Partner

Chip’s got a rare gift for making you feel good about yourself, your business, even your new haircut. And more importantly, making others feel good about your brand. That attitude is felt in everything Chip does, which at CTP, is a little bit of everything. He’s a brand strategist and public relations guru for some of our top accounts, and our own personal Tony Robbins, sans the huge teeth. Chip started his career as a newspaper reporter and bartender, and to this day he still knows when to listen, when to offer some sage advice, and how to find just the right mix. It’s a magic he works with individuals, businesses, and many a brand. Including yours. Chip has fallen in love twice in his life. Once with his wife, Leslie, and once with the Boston Red Sox rookie centerfielder, Fred Lynn. He and Leslie are still an item and have three gorgeous kids, Libby, Annie and Will.

Most Bizarre Job: Roadkill cleanup crew.

Brian Heffron

Brian Heffron - Senior Vice President

Brian has a knack for bringing great success to the people he works with. He has helped clients tell the story of land mine detectors, wireless technology, finance, and real estate. And as his cameo appearance as an extra on Baywatch shows, Brian understands how to stay calm in a crisis. That valuable trait has helped clients when it hits the fan and they need to communicate with the public—a skill he honed handling local, national and international media in one of the nation’s busiest District Attorney’s offices, and later on Beacon Hill as Communications Director for the state’s then-Attorney General Tom Reilly. In addition to his years of PR and advertising experience, Brian brings a balanced, thoughtful and detailed approach to the way he manages his accounts and the agency’s PR team. And with a stint as a reporter on his resume as well, he’s not afraid to ask questions when warranted. Of course, it’s his answers that will make you grateful he’s on your team.

Oddity: Can catch $8.75 worth of quarters from his elbow.
Favorite Expression: “So I got that going for me ... which is nice.”
Most Bizarre Job: Sold scrimshaw.
Karaoke Song: “Kiss and Say Goodbye” by The Manhattans

Todd Graff

Todd Graff - Senior Account Director

Todd comes to us from the Tar Heel state, where he spent his early professional years as a sportswriter for the Greensboro News & Record. There he quickly developed an affinity for covering golf events after his first links assignment: Tiger Woods’ historic victory at the ’97 Masters. Tiger’s dramatic 12-stroke victory not only offered Todd a good lead in his next column, it also led to numerous national and state writing awards. And, as it turns out, a move to Boston to head up the golf division at CTP. Todd plays to a 5 on the course, but when it comes to crafting public relations programs for our various golf clients, he’s every bit as good as Tiger on the back nine at Augusta.

Oddity: Spent two nights sleeping in a Ford Focus to play Bethpage Black.
Favorite Expression: “The clinical definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
Most Bizarre Job: Insulating houses.
Karaoke Song: “Anyone For Tennis” by Cream

Courtney Megliola

Courtney Megliola - Account Director

Courtney’s favorite song is “Friends in Low Places” which to us is pretty ironic considering she’s rubbed elbows with everyone from professional athletes to rock stars. But knowing the rich and famous is just something that comes with the territory when you’re a PR wiz like her. Having pitched everything from fish sticks to figure skaters to coffee, Courtney uses her talents to get our clients exposure. And give them the rock star treatment they’re looking for.

Oddity: Roots for all Boston sports teams, unless they’re playing the Cowboys or Spurs.
Favorite Expression: “All y’all.”
Most Bizarre Job: Dressed up as a parrot
Karaoke Song: “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks

Jenna Browning

Jenna Browning - Senior Account Executive

It’s no wonder Jenna ended up in advertising; she was a softball pitcher for 12 years. After Jenna graduated from BU marketing school, she eventually wound up at Fenway Park, though she was in the press box rather than on the mound. On our team at CTP, she’s been keeping all our bases covered. Whenever an AE gets thrown a curve ball, Jenna’s there to help out. Be sure that no matter what you need her to do, Jenna will fire everything right over the plate.

Oddity: Favorite snack is a plain bagel w/ cream cheese and crushed Doritos on top. Don’t knock it ’till you try it.
Favorite Expression: “True story.”
Most Bizarre Job: Inventory auditor at a rifle manufacturer.
Karaoke Song: “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” by Meatloaf

Alex Paparsenos

Alex Paparsenos - Account Executive

Alex is a PR wiz. After all, as a Boston College grad she was able to talk a bunch of BU alums into hiring a BC Eagle. And if that wasn’t enough, she also spent time at B2B PR agency making plasma metal cutters and computing devices “sexy”. Talk about skills. And with degrees in Communications and English, plus the ability to speak Greek fluently, she’s making sure our clients’ messages are crystal clear.

Oddity: Speaks Greek
Favorite Expression: “Perk up Buttercup”
Most Bizarre Job: Calling BC alumni during dinnertime to ask for donations
Karaoke Song: “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston

Tara Mulloy

Tara Mulloy - Account Executive

For one of her first jobs, Tara had to pitch intellectual property law. Which is pretty ironic since all of her ideas are great enough to steal. But luckily for our clients, they’re the only ones who are reaping the rewards of Tara’s thinking. And with experience pitching everything from preventative snoring devices to LEDs to personal finance, Tara can wrap her brain around every client’s need.

Oddity: Obsessively paints nails on a daily basis
Favorite Expression: “Can I live?”
Most Bizarre Job: Real life beer wench
