Principal and Chief Creative Officer
From brand building to business building, Jeff's built a portfolio of work for some of the world's largest publicly-traded corporations, including Alcoa, BNY Mellon, EQT, Federated Investors, H.J. Heinz, PNC and PPG Industries.

Principal, Strategic Integration
Don't let him fool you. While Arnie's process might appear based on having “good conversations” and “thinking out loud,” his true prowess—his “Arnacity,” as it’s been called—is making sure client strategies are on target and getting things done effectively and efficiently for Pipitone Group's client base. Arnie's keen discernment for detail and processes stems from his 30-year career in the industry, including a vice president of marketing technology position at Blattner Brunner, which in 1990 acquired his database marketing and research company, High Technology Associates, one of the first of its kind at the time.
