North Star Marketing, one of the State’s leading marketing and public relations firms, announced that it has promoted Jennifer Turner Halfpenny to Vice President of Client Services and Daniel Ruth from Junior Graphic Designer to Designer. Serving as the lead for client services, Turner assumes responsibility for North Star’s client experiences. As a North Star designer, Ruth concepts and delivers artistic designs for North Star’s clients.
In her enhanced client service role, Turner, the Firm’s Captain of Client Results, is the primary point person responsible for all of North Star’s client accounts and client results. She oversees North Star’s team of account managers, working to ensure consistent delivery of optimal client service.
“Jennifer has years of valuable experience and a tremendous head for processes and implementing the proper systems to ensure client efficiencies and results,” said April Williams, President and Visionary of North Star Marketing. “This new capacity allows her the freedom to do what she excels at, while at the same time streamlining our account process to better serve our clients.”
Turner joined North Star in 2006.

As a North Star graphic designer and the Design Dynamo, Ruth is responsible for devising and producing visual solutions for the Firm’s client communications needs.
