Beth started her advertising agency career at The Dan Rosenthal Co. in 1994, and came up through the ranks of account management as a marketing strategist. During her 15-year tenure there, she led the growth of that agency from a 3-person creative boutique into one of the region’s largest, most successful full service shops. In 2009, Beth took the opportunity to launch RP3, a new agency model to meet the changing needs of marketers amidst a transformative time in the industry.
Beth believes brilliant creative comes from brilliant strategy, and works tirelessly to build a culture of curiosity at RP3 that values talented people, fosters great ideas and achieves solid business results.

Beth lives in Virginia with her globetrotting husband and two teen-aged daughters. She spends most of her free time cheering, either for her favorite DC sports teams or on the sidelines at high school soccer games.
