Meet TMA's new Frito Lay crew

Our agency is growing by leaps and bounds...

A bunch of new people have joined the agency recently to help us manage the Frito Lay business growth. This crew joins all the awesome folks who have been working with Frito for the past several years.

They will be working together to create National programs, tons of Point of Sale and in-store events that will help the brands teams at Frito Lay grow their business.

So read a little bit about these folks below and go buy a bag of your favorite Frito chips in their honor.

Help us welcome this crew to TMA.
