GALLEGOS United welcomes Brenda Schneider as Group Account Director and Becky Peterhansen as Director Of Social Engagement & Content
Award-winning creative advertising agency GALLEGOS United, part of communications group UNITED COLLECTIVE, has appointed two new senior team members, following a string of new business wins, as the agency continues to propel its clients’ business growth.
Brenda Schneider, who joins the agency as Group Account Director and Becky Peterhansen, who starts in the newly created position of Director of Social Engagement and Content, bring expertise for the agency to continue reaching its clients’ audiences in engaging ways with strategic creative and marketing solutions.
Jon Gallegos, CEO and founder of UNITED COLLECTIVE, said that the agency is thriving in a fast-paced, rapidly changing landscape and it continues to tap culturally attuned professionals to deliver growth for our clients. This coupled with exciting new business wins make it the perfect time for Schneider and Peterhanser to come on board and help further strengthen the team and its offering, not only to lead and organically grow our current roster of clients, but also drive new business.
“Both executives are seasoned in uncovering smart and compelling insights, and crafting relatable, thought-provoking and engaging creative solutions to tackle business needs. They ensure the necessary cultural attunement and relevance to scale across audiences, which will be instrumental in further enhancing GALLEGOS United’s long-standing creative reputation,” added Gallegos.
A proven brand builder bringing deep experience in innovative cross-platform marketing and working at strategically minded and creatively driven agencies, Schneider boomerangs back to the firm as Group Account Director, having previously worked at GALLEGOS in 2015-2016, and will now lead the agency’s Comcast and Cacique accounts.
