Rita Benedum

The first said hello to Rita in 2010 when she was the client on Cindy Crawford’s skincare line, Meaningful Beauty. She loved working with her and stayed in touch as she built her resume at Ashton Kutcher's Katalyst, Saatchi & Saatchi and Threshold Interactive. When the time was right, Rita joined us as an account director. Then in 2018, she said goodbye to L.A. sunshine and hello to Seattle rain to be closer to family while raising two young children. In this new Northwest life, she worked on the Microsoft account for Wunderman Thompson. Cut to 2021: when an HWH account role opened up, she gave Rita a ring and were thrilled when she accepted the opportunity. The takeaway of this meaningful, beautiful tale? Goodbye doesn’t mean forever.
