Leslie Wingo, VP of Sanders/Wingo agency, named to Austin Ad Fed board

The Austin Business Journal
(December 4, 2007) The Austin Advertising Federation has named nine advertising industry professionals to its board of directors. Austin Ad Fed says the new members, some of whom are from outside the area, were added to "more fully serve the local creative community and accelerate the group's cultural diversity initiatives."

"We are bringing new talent - some of the region's and even the nation's best and brightest - on to the board to help us achieve two critically important objectives," says Pat Niekamp, president of the Austin Ad Fed. "First, we're working to strengthen Austin's growing reputation as one of the country's best ad markets - for both people working in the industry as well as clients looking for agencies. We want to do more to support the Austin ad community in attracting and retaining both top creative talent and national accounts."

With the objective of increasing diversity, the Austin Ad Fed named Leslie Wingo of Sanders Wingo, the seventh largest African American-owned agency in the country, a board member and vice president of cultural diversity for the organization.

Austin Ad Fed has 250 members, representing agencies, vendors, mass media, freelancers, design and film and video agencies.
