The Richards Group has promoted Rob VanGorden to principal.
“Rob’s diverse background and account service expertise is a rare and powerful asset,” said Stan Richards, agency founder and creative director. “We are proud to promote such talent.”
VanGorden, 38, an account director and now the 19th principal at the Dallas shop, has had his duties expanded to encompass new-business development. He will still spend much of his time serving as a “brand steward” for the $15-20 million Chick-fil-A business, an account VanGorden has managed since 1999.
“Chick-fil-A likes to have the folks who are working on their account pretty much dedicated to it,” VanGorden said.
Richards hired VanGorden in 1998 for his packaged-goods expertise.
