SUZANNE (huard)
founder / ceo


Long before founding Spotlight Media & Marketing, Suzanne earned her reputation as a trusted business expert and partner. Her unique insights, sharp business acumen and strong relationship building skills have helped her clients grow their businesses. In countless meetings, pouring over marketing plans and media buys, Suzanne found that strategic thinking and planning for long term success was much more fun and most importantly, more rewarding than any other aspect of the trade. With more than fifteen years of sales and marketing experience under her belt, Suzanne left behind her position as an award winning Senior Account Executive with Citadel Broadcasting Company to pursue her dreams. Prior to that, Suzanne worked as an Account Executive for Liggett Broadcasting and most recently with Donovan & Smith, a full service marketing and advertising agency in Lansing, MI.
