JJ is a true impact player for Bergmeyer, having elevated our firm almost immediately upon his arrival in just over a year. His impact is seen clearly in Bergmeyer's PR and brand communications both internally and externally. He has a non-stop energy that lifts everyone he works with, showing genuine compassion and thoughtfulness in his approach. JJ's organizational tactics for cross-channel communication planning allow Bergmeyer to approach marketing initiatives more strategically and confidently with results-driven efforts. He effectively immersed himself into every aspect of Bergmeyer's culture and values, joining our EDI committee last year, as well as other task-force groups that further Bergmeyer's success. The phrase "I can't do that" doesn't seem to be in JJ's vocabulary. As an exemplary ambassador for Bergmeyer's brand, his one-of-a-kind persona will ensure continued success for years to come.

In addition to key leadership advancements, Bergmeyer announced Senior Practitioner promotions for team members reaching a level of professional expertise worthy of special recognition. These title changes reflect a professional development level recognized by the firm as consistent and trustworthy design and project leaders.
