As Western's senior advertising and sales promotion executive, he directed a $25 million annual marketing budget, pioneered the development of private-public marketing partnerships and launched the industry's first frequent flyer program (June, 1980). Mark is an acknowledged expert in loyalty marketing and co-op advertising programs.
