Fingerpaint, a full-service health and wellness marketing agency with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Arizona and California, announced during April the appointment of three operating board members.

Roshawn Blunt, Nicole Holland, and Michelle Petroff have joined the agency’s nine-member operating board. Blunt is the managing director of 1798, a market access and commercialization firm acquired by Fingerpaint as announced during February. Holland is head of people and culture. Petroff is head of Fingerpaint’s Conshohocken, Pa., office after being promoted to that position in another February announcement.

According to management, Fingerpaint’s operating board is responsible for driving the strategic direction and financial health of the company as well as safeguarding the agency’s empathetic, people-first culture.

“The addition of these three talented people to the operating board will help us ensure we continue Fingerpaint’s strategic growth and continue offering innovative services to our clients,” says Ed Mitzen, Fingerpaint’s founder. “Michelle, Nicole, and Roshawn are respected by their peers and are strong leaders who embody the Fingerpaint culture.”

Blunt, Holland, and Petroff join operating board members Mitzen; Andy Pyfer, partner; Bill McEllen, partner; Kevin Kish, head of finance; Colleen Carter, head of corporate marketing; and Mark Willmann, head of Fingerpaint’s Cedar Knolls office.

The agency also announced Carter’s expanded role to include overseeing Fingerpaint’s people and culture and philanthropy teams. Carter joined Fingerpaint in January 2019, and she has since helped reimagine the Fingerpaint brand, built a corporate marketing team, and led the agency in establishing a unique approach to business development.

“Considering the impact Colleen has already had on the organization, this was a natural step,” Pyfer says. “People are our most important asset, and I am confident Colleen will continue to elevate our commitment to them, allowing Fingerpaint to retain and recruit the best talent.”
