Salinas, CA — Moxxy, an award-winning, full-service branding and marketing agency specializing in fresh food and agriculture-related businesses, has hired California-based Project Manager Leanne Salandro to lead marketing initiatives for clients nationwide.
“Moxxy’s brand promise has always included providing attentive, expert support to our clients on every project, every step of the way,” said Karen Nardozza, president and CEO of Moxxy.
“Leanne’s decades of marketing and design expertise across a range of industries both domestically and internationally, along with her outgoing personality and connection to agribusiness and fresh produce, make her a smart, strategic addition to the team.”
Salandro started her career in graphic design, working on consumer magazines and retail trade publications where she honed her illustration and design skills in a high-traffic, deadline-driven environment.
As art director for an agency specializing in direct marketing, she managed campaigns in the US and Japan. When Silicon Valley heated up in the late 90’s, that exciting technology environment lured her into digital marketing where she led projects ranging from websites and product launches, to packaging design and global product development projects. Most recently, Salandro was a business owner and marketing consultant.
Drawn to Moxxy because of their expert niche in fresh produce and agriculture, as well as a personal connection to Nardozza, Salandro was excited to make this career move.
“I’ve been looking for just the right fit,” says Salandro. “I’ve functioned on a variety of teams and been involved with many different projects and industries but, at this point in my career, I’ve been hungry to find a team where I can focus my experience and still learn and grow. Agriculture is part of my personal history, dear to my heart, so Moxxy is an ideal career scenario for me. I’m excited to be part of creating success for our clients.”
Salandro grew up on the Western Slope of Colorado on 68 acres of high desert and alfalfa fields, and went to college amidst the cornfields of Nebraska at Concordia University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in commercial art. “I can buck hay and herd cattle but I’ve also launched direct mail campaigns and managed press checks in Tokyo. It’s a delight to find a role at Moxxy where it all makes perfect sense cohesively.”
