Sean Kelly

Director of Managed Services

Born and raised in the Roaring Fork Valley, Sean joined Blue Tent in 2007 and now serves as the Director of Managed Services. After a decade in the journalism field, and the final year as the News and Online Editor for a daily newspaper, Sean jumped at the chance to join the more agile digital environment of Blue Tent Marketing as a strategic account manager. Sean's goal with any client is the bottom line — a solid return on investment, whether that investment is with Blue Tent or elsewhere. When not in the digital world, Sean, along with his wife Bridgette, is busy chasing his two young daughters, playing hockey, fly-fishing, skiing and just enjoying the mountains.

Best Part of Blue Tent: BTMers and the clients with whom we work
Pursuits: Family, fishing, skiing, generally getting out and enjoying the outdoors
Alternate Dream Job: dream "job"??
Inspired By: Daughters: Evie (5) and Fiona (2) — Ask tougher questions than anyone I know

“Sometimes when I'm talking, my words can't keep up with my thoughts. I wonder why we think faster than we speak. Probably so we can think twice.”
