Meet Mary

Mary is the president of SplashSource where she leads a dream team of marketing professionals and provides oversight and coordination on various aspects of agency operations, including client account management, plan development and execution, and creative direction.

No stranger to the advertising industry, Mary has spent 29 years leading ADsource, a full-service marketing company established in 1993.  Prior to branching out on her own, she spent 10 years in radio, beginning as a copywriter and production director, then moving into sales and eventually station management.

Some 18 years after launching ADsource Mary lead the rebranding campaign for a consultant in the car wash industry and saw an opportunity to help owners and operators across the country take their car wash businesses to new levels of success through integrated marketing strategies and better creative execution.

“My work philosophy has to always been to kill your clients with service. Everyone at SplashSource follows that same mantra, taking a proactive role in making each client feel appreciated, responding to their needs in a timely manner and with a positive attitude,” says Mary. 29 years ago I honestly did not see myself focused on creative car wash marketing, but I love it! We have met and work with so many exceptional entrepreneurs who value what we bring to the table and make it enjoyable to foster mutually beneficial relationships.”

When she’s not behind the wheel at SplashSource, Mary enjoys time spent outdoors, reading  a good book, practicing her yoga and most of all, enjoying her grandson Emory.  @Mary can be reached at mshallies@splashsource.com.
