Hard work
never scared Valerie. Starting at Godfrey as an art director, Valerie has spent nearly all of her
marketing communications career at Godfrey. Her dedication, along with a love of the creative arts and the
business, allowed her to succeed to positions of senior art director, creative director,
senior account executive,
and vice president of operations before assuming the presidency in December 1999.
Valerie's keen knowledge of the creative and production processes, coupled with her active
role in account
service, gives her a broad understanding of the business and a sharp
focus on what clients need and expect
from an agency partner.
She is only the third president of Godfrey since the company's founding in 1947, reflecting the stability of
the Godfrey's senior management over several decades. Valerie holds a B.A. from the Pennsylvania State University.
