Grimes joins Colorado Tourism Office

Carly Grimes has joined the Colorado Tourism Office public relations account team as account supervisor. Carly will be based in Colorado and joins Roland Alonzi, vice president, group director; Charles Mardiks, managing director, and a group of pitching specialists and support staff based in New York.

Grimes, who was born and raised in Colorado, spent the last three and a half years at the Breckenridge Resort Chamber, where she served as the public relations director. She was instrumental in securing national and local media coverage for Breckenridge and raising the profile of the resort as a year-round destination among both traditional media as well as digital/social media.

"Carly brings a wealth of experience to the agency. Her longtime relationships with local and national media and her deep knowledge of Colorado will allow her to immediately step into her new role and make a positive impact," said Charles Mardiks, managing director, MMG Mardiks.
