RALEIGH, N.C. (Nov. 16, 2006) – MarketSmart Advertising, a full-service, integrated marketing communications firm, has expanded its media department. Lynn Stephenson and Ryan “Buzz” Hyler were hired as a media planner/buyer and media buyer, respectively.

As a media planner/buyer, Stephenson will research regional media habits and create customized media plans for clients based on her findings.
