San Francisco creative agency Venables Bell + Partners promoted Brittni Hutchins to associate partner, managing director.

She was previously associate partner, chief growth officer.

Paul Venables, VB+P founder-chairman said that Hutchins' “influence on more aspects of our business means only good things for VB+P and our clients.”

Hutchins was a brand team leader at VB+P earlier in her career, and returned in 2021 as head of growth and marketing and then associate partner, chief growth officer. In those capacities, she secured 17 new partnerships, including Girl Scouts of the USA, AG1, Bob Evans Farms and PepsiCo brand Off The Eaten Path.

“Since my first stint with the agency, VB+P has always been a special place for me. One that I credit for shaping the type of brand person, new business lead, and now managing director I’ve become. I’m looking forward to ... continuing our legacy as a fiercely independent creative force that puts people first,” Hutchins told Agency Daily.

She has also headed creative initiatives that underscore critical social and political issues in the U.S., such as reproductive rights, book bans, hate incidents against the AAPI community and LGBTQIA+ mental health.

Hutchins founded "Women That Fight (WTF)," a collective of senior women in advertising compelled to take action on pressing issues facing women.

The agency's client roster also includes Chipotle and Peelz.
