Cover Story

Come Together
A hospitality media group evolves
Courtesy of HMG/ST Media Group

M

ichelle Finn started her career as a financial analyst for Dean Witter, and in
a twist of fate, met the advertising director, for Soap Opera Digest. Not long
after, she accepted a position as their Midwest advertising rep, launching
her career in publishing. In 1985, she moved into the hospitality market-
when she was named Midwest advertising rep for Restaurant & Hotel Design (now known as
Hospitality Design magazine). Finn rose to become Senior Vice President of the Hospitality
Design Group, Nielsen (now Emerald Expositions), responsible for the management and
development of the brand.
At the time, hospitality design was an emerging market. Over subsequent years, it has
evolved into a highly sophisticated segment of the commercial marketplace; a soughtafter design discipline, a major contributor to hotel guest satisfaction, and a driver of hotel
profitability. According to Finn, "To be part of an industry on the rise and a contributor (in a
small way) to its development was and continues to be the allure of hospitality and media."
