A straight shooter who’s not afraid to tell it like it is, Shannon made the perfect addition to Fish when she joined our team earlier this year. Her decade of experience might have gotten her in the door, but it was her witty charm and twisted sense of humor that struck us even more. What really sealed the deal was the way she handled the infamous “Who’s Shannon” incident of Super Bowl LII, when Lorne replied all to an email about Shannon being a winner of the Fish Super Bowl squares game with “Who’s Shannon?” In Lorne’s defense, this happened during Shannon’s first week but still… awkward! Shannon took it in stride and the next morning, without skipping a beat, walked right up to him, put her hand out and said, “Hi, I’m Shannon.” Anyone who can make the boss man squirm is a winner in our book and this, my friends, was as cringe worthy as it gets. Read on and get to know our sassy senior account manager even more.
