The Other White Meat.” campaign for the National Pork Producers Council, where she worked for 2 years. She also worked agency side at Noble & Associates, and was a partner at Dallas-based Fuqua & Friedow for 8 years. At every stop along the way, Gwen has helped organizations and clients sell more by thinking smarter.
