*Newly Appointed Senior Vice President Adds Extensive Experience Delivering Mission-level Programs for Government Agencies*
Andy Blenkle has joined Yes& as Senior Vice President, Public Sector, where he will oversee the agency’s business development efforts with a special focus on the federal government market. Blenkle brings 25 years of experience identifying, securing, and executing on mission-level government programs.
> “With the government’s push to improve citizen and public service, as well as promote a new work environment, agencies are looking to deliver more citizen-centric digital experiences,” said Blenkle. “Yes& has an amazing collection of capabilities working within an Agile framework to generate results exceeding benchmarks and expectations. Recent investments in digital marketing, customer journey mapping, and multicultural media, combined with the agency’s communications strategy and creative excellence can help federal agencies advance these initiatives.”
Blenkle most recently served as Vice President at Fors Marsh Group (FMG) where in six years he helped grow a 70-person research firm into a 400-person research and communications consultancy. At FMG, he was responsible for leading national client accounts, external marketing programs, and business development efforts that created positive social impact for clients. He also serves on the Arlington County Economic Development Commission (EDC) serving with other business leaders who provide strategic guidance to County Board on Arlington's economic health.
In his past executive-level experience, Andy served as President of iostudio, a digital marketing firm, and as Managing Director of WPP’s J. Walter Thompson Inside, an internal communications and recruitment advertising agency.
Earlier in his career, Andy led the Army National Guard recruitment advertising account for LMO in Arlington, VA, managed and conducted market research for the Coors Brewing Company at FCB in San Francisco, CA, led on-campus marketing efforts for VarsityBooks.com, and served as an infantry and recruitment advertising officer in the U.S. Marine Corps.
His past clients include the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, AmeriCorps, National Institutes of Health, U.S. Army, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Department of State, Army National Guard, Nielsen, NBCUniversal, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes.
> “I am pleased to report that Andy has chosen to continue his career at Yes&,” added Robert W. Sprague, President & CEO, Yes&. “As we continue to grow our presence and support of the federal government, it will be essential to have an experienced leader taking the reins. Andy will serve that role, allowing us to further deepen our ability to unleash our clients’ potential.”
