As a business leader and communicator, Anne has always embraced curiosity, empathy and a drive to make strategic connections for our clients. She is equally devoted to helping bring out the very best in our teams. Anne leans into more than 30 years of experience in integrated marketing communications for her role as CEO and a principal of G&S Integrated Marketing Communications Group. She is responsible for ensuring excellence across all areas of performance and operations for both MorganMyers, a G&S Agency, and G&S Business Communications — from client service to each agency’s integrated offerings to cultivating a vibrant client-focused and growth-oriented culture.

While deep into “the business of our business,” Anne has never stopped practicing her craft as a strategist and counselor. She is an accomplished and active media training and presentation skills coach, loving her work with a wide range of clients across sectors like agriculture. Anne also continues to serve as a senior client counselor in areas like healthcare and as a crisis specialist ready to jump in when needed.

What moves me?

Actively engaging with and giving back to our industry, as well as in other communities where I can be of service. This includes being a member of the Page Society, representing G&S in our global agency network, PROI, and serving as a Trustee and student mentor at my alma mater, Vassar College. I previously served on the board of the PR Council and as Board chair for New York-based anti-trafficking nonprofit, LifeWay Network. These moments of connection and care lift me up.

Fun Q&A:

• What’s a brand you admire?
  Peloton. I love their approach to fitness and the community forged by their instructors and other members. I cycle on my Peloton bike at home and tap into their on-demand yoga classes on my phone wherever I travel.
• What’s one piece of career advice you live by?
  Lean into your curiosity and enthusiasm. This sparks a positive, optimistic energy that is infectious to all around you. And it helps you be a better counselor and partner to your clients.
• If you weren’t in marketing and communications, what would you be doing?
  Likely teaching at the university level. I did most of my Ph.D. in American Literature while helping build a startup communications agency founded by two of my mentors from Burson-Marsteller. While I ultimately left the program to refocus full time on agency life, the work I do as a media training and presentation skills coach feeds my passion for engaging others in learning.
• What’s something people might not know about you?
  I’m married to a professional drummer, which is wonderful as I’ve been a singer and performer since childhood. I chose not to pursue a career in the arts, but it makes me happy to share my life with such a talented musician.
