Recognition & Awards
I’ve spent the past 15 years learning, collaborating, and growing in this industry with some of the best people in the business. I count myself extremely lucky. Along the way, I’ve received some recognition from clients, mentors, and industry organizations: a few of which are shared below.
Kind Words.
John Kenny, PhD
Eversana InTouch Chief Strategy OfficerFormer CSO of FCB Chicago
"I’ve run 75+ person strategy teams for the past 15 years, where a big part of my job was hiring people, not just for what they could deliver now, but how they would set the agency up for long-term success.
When I think about Rachel, it’s very much with that lens in mind. Can she run your biggest, most creatively interesting accounts? Of course. Can she jump into any new business situation? Most definitely. On all these things, her outstanding work ethic, professionalism, insight and creative instincts will show immediate results (she’s also just plain fun to work with, always upbeat).
But to stop there would be to make a short-sighted decision. The real reason you should hire Rachel is what she will bring to the planning team and the agency. She will be a pillar around which you can hire great people and build a great culture, winning and growing clients, pushing your agency to greater things.
Rachel is a future leader in our industry, and any organization would be lucky to have her.

"Rachel was part of my strategy team at The&Partnership between January 2021 to June 2024. In that time, Rachel proved to be a smart, versatile, and hugely effective planner.
From global brand positioning projects (Aon: In the Business of Better Decisions) to deep customer loyalty projects (Mars Pedigree), Rachel’s approach to every project is both enthusiastic and considered. She’s a brilliant team player too. Every marketing challenge needs a Rachel!”

“Everything Rachel did strategically was always with the overall goal of delivering strong, powerful creative. Rachel is fast, diligent, and brings a sense of fun to the whole process, which made her a great asset and an important part of the Western Union team. Rachel very quickly got an understanding of the brand, its workings and won over numerous global clients.”
Paul Rossman
Senior Director of Consumer & Shopper Insights at Constellation BrandsFormer Innovation Lead at Pepsi Co., Former Consumer Insights Manager at Kraft Heinz
“I had the pleasure of working with Rachel as we brought in a new agency to work on our Corona Extra brand. From the jump, she was smart, collaborative, thoughtful and curious. She does a great job of listening, digesting the ask, and responding with a very strategic POV. I always appreciated that I knew where Rachel stood on topics. She brought great ideas and strategic rigor to our campaigns as well as our brand foundations. I really saw Rachel as an extended member of my Insights team.
Rachel is kind and has no ego. She takes feedback well and is eager to work with her clients to build a solution together. She is a deeply strategic thinker and has the ability to make complex topics easy to understand for all. If it wasn’t obvious, I’m a huge fan of Rachel!”
John Harrison
Former Expedia Group Strategy & Effectiveness Leader, Direct Manager while at BBH London
Director of Brand Marketing at Starling Bank“The Western Union clients love that Rachel really understands the disparate target audiences and finds new ways to bring them to life. The creatives love the fact that she rolls up her sleeves and gets stuck in - always with the clear aim of helping make the work better. I love the fact that I have the utmost confidence that she will always do what she says she'll do brilliantly, and ask for support if it's needed (not when it's too late).”
