Independent advertising, marketing, and public relations agency Mower has added two seasoned industry vets to its roster, naming Michael Baron as sr. VP and creative director for the agency’s Buffalo, Rochester, and Boston offices and Kelly Chapman as account director for both the Buffalo and Rochester offices.
Baron, who was with Mower earlier in his career, most recently served as the executive creative director at Partners + Napier where he oversaw creative work for clients including BMW Financial Services, Corelle Brands, and Highmark Health.
Baron’s work has been recognized by The One Show, The Tellys, Effie Worldwide, and the ADDYS—where he recently took home his second consecutive Best of Broadcast Award for Highmark’s “Six Words” campaign. Prior to joining Partners + Napier, Baron also spent time at Saatchi & Saatchi, Y&R, and Hill Holliday.
Chapman also joins Mower from Partners + Napier, where she helped to create and lead the agency’s Health & Wellness vertical. She has deep experience with a variety of healthcare accounts, including insurers, providers, and OTC, and will lead Mower’s healthcare specialty practice.
Her responsibilities will also include driving growth in the Buffalo and Rochester markets, as well as contributing to other new business and organic growth initiatives. Chapman, the past president of the Rochester Advertising Federation, will remain on the board and is actively seeking opportunities to support the Buffalo advertising community.
Mower has nine offices located in New York City; Atlanta; Boston; Charlotte, N.C.; Cincinnati; and Buffalo, Rochester, Albany and Syracuse, NY.
Wide Primetime Range: Nicholas Alexander Chavez Portrays Lyle Menendez And A Priest On TV
Nicholas Alexander Chavez has had a "very surreal" few weeks promoting and premiering his first roles in primetime, in a pair of shows debuting within one week of each other.
Chavez, 25, plays Lyle Menendez in Netflix's "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story" and Father Charlie, a true-crime obsessed priest in FX's "Grotesquerie." Both shows are co-created by Ryan Murphy.
"We were working on the tail end of 'Monsters' when Ryan called and said he had a really, really exciting new show called 'Grotesquerie' that he was working on," recalled Chavez. "He was very passionate about the project, and he had a great role in it for me."
"Grotesquerie" stars Niecy Nash-Betts as an alcoholic detective who has teamed up with a nun (Micaela Diamond) to investigate a serial killer case.
To get into character for "Grotesquerie," Chavez would listen to music. "Don't Do Anything Illegal" by Charles Manson was on his Father Charlie playlist. For "Monsters," Chavez's prep was different because he was playing a real person and could watch old court videos.
In 1996, Lyle and his younger brother Erik (played by Cooper Koch) were sentenced to life in prison for the 1989 killing of their parents, Jose and Kitty in their Beverly Hills home.

Last week, prosecutors in LA said they were reviewing new information about the case and would decide whether a resentencing is warranted.
Chavez has already achieved success in daytime on ABC's "General Hospital " as Spencer Cassadine, a grandson of Genie Francis' Laura (of Luke and Laura fame.) He played the role of a spoiled prince with daddy issues from 2021 until January 2024. Chavez won a Daytime Emmy... Read More
