CHIEF is acquiring TrestleMedia, an interactive design and development agency supporting clients in the corporate, government and non-profit sectors. This move formally establishes a west coast office in Portland, OR, while expanding CHIEF's portfolio and impact through award-winning partnerships.
TrestleMedia founder and Managing Director Clay Marshall has a successful history with CHIEF for over 26 years, previously as Managing Director for Technology and currently serving as Senior Technology Consultant.
"Clay has been an integral member of the CHIEF family for decades," said co-founder Margaret Johnson. "This is the next evolution of shared commitment and passion for pushing upward to lead transformative change in the industry and with our partners."
In a new role, Marshall will serve as the Chief Technology Officer, advancing CHIEF's innovative technical solutions. TrestleMedia's team of designers and developers fit perfectly with CHIEF's culture and growing technology innovation demand.
Adds Marshall: "I am most excited about evolving to a leadership role to further define CHIEF's technology vision and working across teams to refine our powerful digital strategy solutions for clients in every sector."
Marshall's expertise and successful client relationships – including Fortune 500 companies in defense, health and consumer goods industries – will enable the CHIEF team to deliver exceptional work through broader capabilities, scope and influence.
