Both corporate branding executives have joined the firm and are working at RiechesBaird’s California office.
“We are very pleased to welcome Tanya and Jeff to RiechesBaird,” said Ryan Rieches, co-founder and CEO of RiechesBaird. “They are both very passionate about, and have a wealth of experience in, strategically developing strong brands.

Before joining RiechesBaird, Lanzi worked at Young & Rubicam Brands as part of the Hilton Hotels account management team. He is currently a board member of Ad2OC, a local chapter of the American Advertising Federation, where he promotes education and the well-being of the Advertising and Communications industry, and contributes pro-bono work for non-profit organizations.
“Jeff serves as part of the strategy team that develops the foundation for strong brands,” explained Rieches. “Through market research and interactive workshops, he will help uncover the compelling truths and value propositions that are the pillars of a strong brand.”

Their prestigious “BtoB Top Agencies Special Report” includes agencies that have a significant amount of BtoB business, key clients and range of services. The magazine noted that over the last year RiechesBaird increased revenue by 25%, opened a New York office, added new clients including Constellation Energy and ICU Medical, and launched major campaigns for American Airlines Cargo and Hoag Hospital.
