The American Advertising Federation District 4, which represents Florida and the Caribbean, has inducted Priority Marketing Founder, President and Chief Creative Officer Teri Hansen, APR, into its Advertising Hall of Fame.
As a Class of 2024 inductee, Hansen is among those “who have distinguished themselves in their career, have contributed to the betterment of advertising and its reputation, and have made volunteer efforts outside the workplace.”
Hansen and five other marketing and advertising professionals were inducted into the Hall of Fame during AAF District 4’s “The Voice of Advertising Summit” on April 19 in Orlando.
“It truly is an honor to share the spotlight with such talented individuals who have made an indelible impact in the field of advertising,” Hansen said. “I’m proud to be recognized among those who have dedicated their careers to helping businesses, nonprofits and organizations carry out their missions, achieve their goals and make a difference in their communities.”
Hansen, who graduated magna cum laude from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Arts degree in business administration and management, founded Priority Marketing in 1992 as a one-person operation. Today, the firm employs 60 marketing professionals whose professional services include public relations, brand development, web services, social media, creative services, media buying, video production, digital marketing, event planning and more. The firm partners with clients across a broad spectrum of industries, including hospitality and tourism, retail, health care, senior living, construction, legal, aviation, financial, education and government, as well as charitable organizations.
Two years ago, AAF’s Southwest Florida Chapter honored Hansen with its Silver Medal Award, which recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to advertising by actively furthering industry standards, creative excellence and responsibility in areas of social concern. Hansen helped reactivate AAF’s local chapter in 2019 and served initially on its board of directors.
