INTERVIEW WITH CLINTON’S COMMUNICATION DIRECTOR
MarleePrice
Tell us about yourself.
Iam originally from Brookhaven, Mississippi,
born and raised. I graduated from the University
of Southern Mississippi with a Bachelor of
Public Relations before venturing to Hinds
Community College to achieve an Associate of
Applied Science in Graphic Design Technology.
Both of those degrees contributed to my passion
for marketing and branding by allowing me the
ability to incorporate the strategies and
communication skills learned at the bachelor
level in an effort to communicate those skills
through creative visuals and innovative
marketing campaigns in order to drive adoption
and increase brand loyalty.
Iam also the mother to a thirteen-year-old
boy named Price Anthony May. He is currently
in the 8th grade at Mt. Salus Christian School
and enjoys all things basketball.
Why and when did you decide to
make Clinton your home?
In July of 2012 I accepted a position as a
graphic designer at Southern Farm Bureau Life
Insurance Company. For a year I drove back and
forth each day from Brookhaven to Jackson. As
my son began to approach school age, I knew I
needed to make a move closer to work to start a
new life for my little family. Growing up in a
small town, I knew I wanted to live in a city with
a strong sense of community that also had a
strong academic program for Price. God placed
Cindy Robertson in my life as my realtor, and as
I began to look at homes in the Clinton area, I
knew this was where I wanted to plant my roots,
and in April of 2013 I became a homeowner.
