Robert WingoRobert Wingo, chairman of Austin-based agency SandersWingo, has been elected to The Advertising Council's board of directors.

PSA mainstay the Ad Council remains the largest producer of public service advertisements in the country. The non-profit produces, distributes and promotes social message campaigns to a network of more than 30,000 media outlets, including broadcast, print, and Internet placements. Ads run in space donated by media, and the Ad Council's board donates both financial support and creative insights to its campaigns.

The Ad Council's board is currently led by David Christopher, chief marketing officer of AT&T Mobility. Christopher was appointed to that position in July.

“I'm honored to serve with the top marketing and media leaders in our nation today," Wingo said in a statement. “2016 will be a dynamic and productive year for the Ad Council, and I'm looking forward to being part of it.”

SandersWingo clients include AT&T, Chevrolet, KFC, State Farm, and the U.S. Postal Service. The agency has additional offices in El Paso, and also holds satellite offices in New York and Atlanta.
