“This move recognizes Suzanne’s contributions as a driving force for Bullpen Marketing over the last six years and ensures that our company remains in hands that share our vision,” said Colin Hageney, founder of Bullpen Marketing. “Her insights have been invaluable during her time with our firm, and the skill set she brings to the table will help with Bullpen’s future growth.”

Hageney is continuing with Bullpen as president and chief marketing officer. He’ll be focusing on what the company described as growing marketing needs. Gordon, meanwhile, will be leading day-to-day operations and propelling strategic efforts aimed at driving Bullpen’s growth as a leader in branding, merch and communication solutions. Beyond promo, Bullpen’s offerings include web design, graphic design, print services, copywriting, photography and video.

“I am honored to take on the role of CEO, and I’m excited for the journey ahead,” Gordon said. “I look forward to leading with vision, integrity and a commitment to innovation, as we work towards an even brighter future for Bullpen.”

Gordon noted that part of her emphasis as CEO will be networking and creating partnerships with women’s business owner groups. The mother and stepmother of four children, the U.K.-born Gordon has been married to Hageney for seven years, the company noted in a press release.

Gordon holds a chemical engineering degree from the University of Birmingham in England. Past experience includes time with engineering firms Fluor and Worley, as well as a role as a marketing representative with Premier Corporate Wellness, a healthcare provider. In the leadership position of managing partner at Bullpen Marketing, Gordon was responsible for working one-on-one with clients to increase their business and branding presence, the firm said.

“Suzanne and I are focused on the long-term growth of our business,” said Hageney, noting the 1997-founded firm has 12 employees with locations in Houston, Dallas and Nashville. “We will remain a powerhouse agency known for its high-touch service to clients. With Suzanne at the helm, we’re going to explore new markets and chart a path that ensures Bullpen’s continued success.”
