Philadelphia, February 27, 2020 — Brownstein Group has announced several major promotions to recognize the work of legacy employees and rising stars, as well as key role changes that will streamline the work of the agency’s digital and social teams.
Melinda Ramos, Director of Talent and Diversity, has been elevated to Vice President in order to support diversity, outreach, and culture initiatives. Ramos is tasked with maintaining and growing a diverse and inclusive workplace at the agency, and her elevation will further ensure these initiatives and targets come from the top level of agency leadership.
