Washington D.C.-area independent ad agency White64 has appointed Alicia Gehring VP media strategy. She will oversee all aspects of traditional and digital media planning and buying operations for the full-service agency.

Gehring replaces Jacqui Hannigan, who left the agency in April.  She will report to agency Chairman and CEO Matt White.

Current White64 clients include Washington, D.C. Metro, PenFed Credit Union, Delaware North, Luray Caverns, Bio Industries, Hilton, Tyson’s Corner and the Washington Nationals.
