Our Team

Carrie is a 7th generation native Texan. Her career started at GSD&M in Austin working on various national accounts. After several years on the agency side of the business, she joined Arbitron (later acquired by Nielsen). There, she held senior level positions consulting with and training advertising agencies and marketers across the U.S. on advertising research and media solutions. It was at Arbitron that Carrie met Jenny Griffith and the wheels started turning to launch Bridge Insights & Media. Carrie focuses on business development, operations, and account and project management. As a mom of three boys, she is an expert at time management and stretching budgets.

Jenny has spent 20 years in the advertising industry. She started her career at Best Buy’s in-house advertising agency as a media buyer, then moved into a senior role in strategy at Fallon (Minneapolis) working on various national brands. Prior to starting Bridge Insights & Media, Jenny spent five years with Arbitron as an Agency Consultant working with over 200 different ad agencies on media research, data and buying software solutions. She was later selected to work with executive teams at the company’s largest 20 advertiser clients focusing on Scarborough’s consumer insights data. At Bridge, Jenny heads up strategy for all clients. She applies her industry knowledge and research tools to develop smart and effective solutions that balance impact and efficiency.

At Bridge, Jenn assists with business operations and managing key clients and campaigns. Coordinating resources, both internal and external, to deliver projects on time, within scope and within budget is also a part of the role where she excels. Previously, she spent four years with Tourism and Events Queensland in Brisbane, Australia concepting and implementing global digital marketing campaigns and overseeing Queensland’s consumer eNews program. Real estate, engineering and journalism have also been significant parts of Jenn’s career, starting as a proposal coordinator and working her way up to marketing director for one of Houston’s leading real estate firms. She is a native Austinite and mom of three (almost) teenagers, so she has earned her stripes in multi-tasking, decision-making and eye-rolling to name a few.

At Bridge, Andrea works closely with clients to understand their needs and objectives, developing and executing campaigns that exceed expectations and drive results.

When she’s not working, Andrea enjoys staying active and spending time with her family.
