Knoxville, Tennessee-based Mlily USA is promoting Ray Bishop, former administrative director, to the role of communications director and has also hired industry veterans Chase Clark and Joella Adair.
According to a news release, Bishop will oversee all aspects of Mlily’s communication strategy, including public relations, internal communications, brand messaging, and design. He will ensure alignment across teams and foster stronger relationships with Mlily’s stakeholders.

His ability to think creatively and anticipate challenges for our partners has set him apart. Ray’s diverse experience and deep understanding of our business make him the perfect fit for this new role,” said CEO Kyle Robertson.
Company officials also announced that Joella Adair has been hired as retail marketing strategist, reporting to Ray Bishop in his new role. She will be responsible for driving marketing initiatives tailored specifically to Mlily’s B2B and retail clientele.

“Joella has more than 10 years of experience leading marketing strategy, demand generation, product launch, website optimization, campaign execution, brand identity, event logistics and project management in B2B and SaaS environments, including running her own marketing consulting company. Her skillset will be a valuable addition to our communication efforts,” Bishop said.
