TRIO Announces Team Growth and New Leadership Roles as Agency Approaches 25th Anniversary

TRIO, the longest-running, full-service woman-owned marketing agency in Mount Pleasant, is proud to announce the expansion of its team and several key promotions that mark the agency’s continued growth as it approaches its 25th anniversary in 2026.

Kevin Sninsky has been promoted to senior copywriter. A longtime team member, Sninsky’s deep understanding of traditional writing and strategic use of AI tools has enhanced client deliverables, earning him a promotion last month. His ability to blend timeless writing techniques with modern technology has been instrumental in TRIO’s success over the past few years.

Shaniequa Washington has been promoted to director of marketing and community relations. Formerly TRIO’s equity partner manager, Washington brings over 20 years of corporate leadership experience at Walmart, where she managed store expansions and team development across the Southeast. Her strong ties to the community, built through years of entrepreneurial and influencer work, have positioned her to help TRIO expand its brand across the region and beyond.

TRIO also welcomes Lauren Brownrigg to the team as a junior account manager. Brownrigg joined the agency as an intern after graduating from St. Louis University last year. After relocating to Charleston, she joined TRIO full-time earlier this year and works alongside TRIO’s client services team to support account strategy and the implementation of marketing plans and projects.

Two new digital marketing specialists have also joined the agency. Sai Krishna now leads TRIO’s paid digital and email marketing programs. He recently earned recognition as a LinkedIn Marketing Insider—an achievement held by fewer than 6,000 professionals worldwide. Devyani Pathak leads TRIO’s SEO program and serves on the agency’s AI leadership team, helping integrate automation and innovative tools into marketing strategies that drive client success.

In April, during Charleston Tech Week, TRIO announced its new focus on being an AI-powered marketing partner, helping brands thrive in a rapidly transforming marketplace and technology-driven world. The agency’s team changes are essential to serving its clients in this capacity.

In addition, TRIO has welcomed Julie Pearson as chief financial officer. Pearson brings more than three decades of corporate finance and human resources experience and now plays an integral role on the agency’s leadership team.

“Our people are our greatest asset,” said Jessica Munday, TRIO’s founder and CEO. “This growth reflects our commitment to providing smart, strategic marketing services while building a team equipped for where the industry is heading. We are all ready and excited for our next chapter.”

TRIO was named the 2025 Small Business of the Year by the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce and continues to provide brand strategy, digital marketing, public relations, advertising and web services to clients throughout the region.
