Danielle Pesce, an account supervisor in PadillaCRT’s New York office, has been promoted to director in the independent agency’s food and beverage practice.

Pesce, who joined the Minneapolis-based agency in 2006, runs Padilla’s culinary studio, overseeing recipe development, testing and photography for food clients. 

As director, she’ll assist with the management and oversight of a new promotional campaign for B&W Growers, the world’s largest growers of watercress, while continuing to manage her current accounts.

PadillaCRT, one of the largest independent PR agencies in the Midwest, acquired Chicago-based food and nutrition communications and consulting shop FoodMinds last year.
