To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Marketing EDGE — the only nonprofit organization solely committed to expanding and enriching the pool of trained, market-ready talent — tonight we kick off a whole new event to celebrate the future of our field. Yes, tonight is a night for celebration! A night to reflect. A night to take note of the many contributions and successes of our honorees. A night to pay tribute to their commitment to giving back through education, mentoring and the trailblazing path they have set in the great field of marketing. And, perhaps most important, a night to look forward to the legacy and possibility we are all creating — thanks to your support. It’s only fitting that tonight we pay tribute to the EDGE Awards honorees, who demonstrate Ben Franklin’s famous words: “Do well by doing good.” Each one serves as a great role model for students and executives alike.

Serving as an example of this future talent among the 400+ professionals here tonight are 43 students — who today completed our premier summer immersion program, Collegiate Summit — Digital. What better way to relay the power of why we exist, than having the future in our midst, exemplifying why your support is so vital. The valuable work of Marketing EDGE is funded solely through donations from corporations and individuals; contributing to tonight’s benefit event is one way to help. Proceeds from this evening will benefit students… those who will infuse this industry with dynamic new ideas and the talent our industry needs to thrive in the 21st century.

With sincere gratitude, Christine Aguilera Co-Chair Gretchen Littlefield Co-Chair #EDGEAwards16 | #RisingStars16 | @mktgedgeorg | 5 HONOREE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT Lester Wunderman Consultant, Professor, Author, Photographer @LesterWunderman | @Wunderman | @WPP Lester Wunderman is chairman emeritus and founder of Wunderman. He believes, “If there is a lesson to be learned, it is to not do anything half-heartedly. If you’re going to do it at all, give it all you have to give.” Mr. Wunderman is an advertising legend and the pioneering father of direct marketing. The visionary marketing techniques he conceived and perfected over his long and brilliant career transformed the advertising industry and continue to shape the interactive marketplace. After an apprenticeship served at several agencies, Mr. Wunderman joined Maxwell, Sackheim & Company in 1947, where he became executive vice president. In 1958, he founded Wunderman, Ricotta & Kline, now known as Wunderman. In 1967, in an address at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mr. Wunderman identified, named and defined “Direct Marketing” and has led the theoretical and practical growth of the industry ever since. He has received many awards and tributes from the direct marketing industry, including inductions into the Direct Marketing Association’s Hall of Fame in 1983, and the American Advertising Federation Hall of Fame. His book, Being Direct, was published by Random House in January 1997, reissued in 2004 with new information, including the first-ever Consumer’s Communications Bill of Rights and his views on the Internet, and issued as an e-book in 2011, with a special message for a new generation of readers. An earlier book, Frontiers of Direct Marketing, published in 1981, and many of his speeches are now part of the Wunderman Archives at Duke University’s Hartman Center for Sales and Marketing History. 6 | EDGE Awards 2016 | EDGEAwards.org Mr. Wunderman became fascinated by photography many years ago, studying at The New School in New York City and working privately with several well-known photographers. Years ago, he met regularly with Cornell Capa, Carl Katz and Jacqueline Kennedy to discuss the possibility of a professional school of photography. And so the International Center of Photography was born, and has thrived ever since. His photographs have been on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in association with his collection of Dogon sculpture, which he donated, and 50 photographs remain in its permanent collection. In addition, his photographs have become part of the permanent collection in the Dapper Foundation in Paris, now part of the Louvre. A native New Yorker born in the Bronx, Mr. Wunderman and his wife, Sue (Cott), make their home in Manhattan. Lester Wunderman Scholarship Fund Marketing EDGE’s First International Scholarship Fund to Support Next Generation Marketers In conjunction with this pinnacle award, we are proud to introduce the Lester Wunderman Scholarship Fund, to honor his lifelong achievements and vision. Impacting countless men and women throughout the advertising and marketing field, this new scholarship fund ensures that his legacy and impact continues for generations to come. The Lester Wunderman Scholarship Fund is uniquely designed to support talented students from diverse backgrounds, with broad skills and nationalities, all with the common desire to pursue a career in marketing (defined as the evolving practices of advertising, as well as direct, digital, mobile, and social media marketing). #EDGEAwards16 | #RisingStars16 | @mktgedgeorg | 7 HONOREE CORPORATE MEDIAMATH @MediaMath MediaMath is the leading independent software company for marketers.

This includes working in close collaboration with more than 300 Epsilon data, database, and agency clients to leverage fully the different proprietary data sets Epsilon provides to help marketers build stronger relationships with prospects and customers and increase omnichannel marketing precision and performance.

Jeannie has been with Epsilon since 2002 and has served in various positions including vice president of the business-to-business group, account director, account executive, and client services manager. Prior to joining Epsilon (formerly Abacus) in 2002, she held similar positions at Arrow Electronics, Inc., Matchlogic (A Division of Excite@home, Inc.) and Brunswick Corporation.
