Our people

Mangos is a hard-thinking, collaborative group of creative individuals from different disciplines. Part strategy. Part storytelling. Part intuition. Together, we’re really good at figuring things out. Like who brands are and how they connect with the rest of the world.

Joanne de Menna

Strategy

You know that point in a meeting when someone asks the unexpected question that takes the discussion to a higher level and leads to an unexpected solution? That’s often Joanne. A distinguished creative leader with over 25 years of experience, she has the uncanny ability to make the critical observation which turns a good strategy into a great one. Her focus is on ferreting out the white space that gives brands lots of elbow room to differentiate, grow and thrive. As an American history buff, she is reassured by the contentiousness of our Founding Fathers.

Bill Gast

Partner

Bill lettered in wrestling. He also used to race motorcycles. Which helps explain his tenacious commitment to serving the needs of our clients. He sharpened his management and marketing skills at the Business Management Program at the Wharton School of Business. But he also went to art school, which makes for a formidable mix of creative, marketing and business expertise. Giving back is a passion; Bill founded an environmental conservation center in Kenya and is a trustee at The University of the Arts.

Tracy Nenna Shinko

Creative

Tracy brings us an unusually broad range of skills, from creating big ideas, to gently managing designers, to obsessively tweaking type. She has a master’s degree in art direction from VCU Brandcenter, and the equivalent of a PhD in popular culture from Netflix and HBO. A true empath in a tough world, she has never, ever, not given a damn. It is a wonderful flaw.

Kevin Couch

Creative

Says little, speaks volumes. Kevin’s expertise lies in distilling complex ideas and marketing strategies into compelling creative ideas that inspire, move and motivate. He believes firmly that while a lot has changed in advertising, the essential stuff hasn’t. “Brands still have a story to tell. And people are still human. All you have to do is connect the two.” Kevin’s film and video work is on permanent display at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Someday, he will run a sailing charter in the Caribbean.

Bradley Gast

Partner

Bradley is the guiding hand of Mangos. He is as clear as he is passionate about creating advertising that surprises, inspires and, most importantly, works brilliantly for our clients. A relentless perfectionist, he looks at clients’ needs from every conceivable angle. Then he scrutinizes the agency’s response until it is honed into a solution that is results-oriented, targeted and effective. He brings our clients over 30 years of experience in advertising and draws on a range of creative, marketing and business savvy to keep Mangos moving forward. Bradley collects and plays vintage saxophones. He’s waiting for that invite to Chris’ Jazz Café.

Christina Travaglini

Account

Christina isn’t someone you’ll find sitting around wondering what to do next. She already knows. She’s one of those people with the innate ability to assess a situation, devise a plan of action, and start making it happen with what seems like effortless efficiency. A seasoned marketing exec with 10+ years under her belt, Christina is a big picture thinker with both strategic and aesthetic sensibilities, an eye for detail and a determined, always-on inclination. Reassuringly grounded. Organized. Thoughtful. Effective. Christina is also an avid traveler, a photographer, and a mom.

Jane Eger

Creative

Some people defy categorization. That would be Jane. Whether she’s designing, photographing, illustrating, or editing video, Jane brings every task her own thoughtful perspective, inspired by years of studying color, light and classical music. Her job, as she sees it, is simple–to evoke emotion through storytelling, using every genre in her quiver.

James Werpehowski

Account

From an early age, James learned the power of nuanced, strategic thinking. With parents who are professors of Religion, James spent many hours debating the big challenges of humankind. Today, he’s helping us solve some of the big challenges of marketing. He brings his clients a passion for efficiency and a refusal to deliver anything other than excellence. Plus, the man can't be siloed: Count on him for social media wisdom, strategic chops, genuine emotional intelligence, and a headful of stats for every sport.

Keith Bowman

Creative

Keith is a bundle of brilliant contradictions. He is an artist who believes in organized process. He’s not even afraid to think inside the box – the trick, he’ll tell you, is to embrace that box, and use it to strategic advantage. And yes, he’s a digital creative director, but he spends his free time smeared in printer’s ink, tinkering away in the small manual press shop that he and his wife own. Count on him to juggle your brand’s dreams and realities, wrestle budgets and timelines, and find the balance that leads to success.

Brandon Reese

Account

Uh-oh. Another one of those people you can’t slap with a label. Brandon says his core skills are in “experience, innovation and operations management,” which means he’s spent his career moving brands powerfully across the digital landscape. He has advised both startups and global brands on innovation strategy, digital experience, and foresight planning, and aspires to be an expert at knowing what’s next. Brandon spends his spare time competing at whatever is being played.

Dave Volpe

Finance & HR

Nobody quite believed that our numbers dude was an artist. Then Dave brought in a portrait, beautifully executed in oil, and all the art directors with their gigabytes of virtual wizardry just stood there, humbly corrected. Dave has more than a decade of experience in public and corporate accounting and helps us manage our plan for sustained growth. He also reminds us that beautiful minds and creativity are everywhere.

Terese Zeccardi

Creative

Terese fully immerses herself in every project and crafts copy with unmatched delicateness, making sciencey stuff warm and human. Before Mangos, she worked for numerous agencies and herself. She is an adjunct instructor at Temple and received her master’s at Penn in 2011, which gives her a certain empathy for all hard-working academics.

Jennifer Logue

Project Management

Here she comes, the steel hand in the velvet glove, herding your project to a successful completion, turbo-charged by her dual passions for data and process. Jen brings us more than 20 years’ experience in direct-to-consumer online sales and website optimization, as well as online and SDLC project management. Never quiet, never still, gets it done.

Justin Moll

Creative

The eye of a designer, the mind of a strategist, the passion of a craftsman. Justin delivers insight, creativity and design that defines and differentiates brands. His bold approach to creative problem solving has been recognized by Graphis, Communication Arts, One Show and more. You’ll find Justin’s work in the permanent collection of the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Away from his desk, he’s probably in his barn, trying to make something run that shouldn’t – without catching everything on fire.
