ORLANDO / TAMPA -- Meritage Homes, a top 10 U.S. homebuilder with communities in 20 markets in the U.S., recently promoted Jennifer Mountain to regional marketing director and Polly Heard to marketing manager.

Brian Kittle, Orlando division president for Meritage Homes, said Mountain joined the company four years ago and was formerly marketing manager for the Orlando area.   

In her new role, Mountain will direct region-wide marketing plans including advertising, merchandising, sales support, budgeting and market analysis for Orlando, Tampa and South Florida communities.    Mountain has more than 14 years of experience with national homebuilders.

At the same time Heard was promoted to fill the Orlando marketing manager position vacated by Mountain.  Heard was hired as a sales associate one year ago but she has a strong marketing background.  Prior to joining Meritage, Heard held marketing management positions with internet and investment firms and was also the owner/operator of a printing business for eight years.

Heard’s new job responsibilities include managing advertising, internet and direct mail campaigns, development of marketing materials, merchandising and sales support for Orlando division communities, Kittle said.

“Jennifer and Polly are very driven, experienced and knowledgeable, and will play a major role in our growth in Florida,” Kittle said.
