Rebecca Holmes

Rebecca started bennu because she wanted to break the rules. The agency is small, senior, employee-owned, and runs on a four-day workweek, because the way an agency treats its own people shows up in the work. A behavioral science enthusiast with 30 years in marketing and communications, she leads growth strategy and positioning for bennu clients. Her experience spans global work for brands such as XBOX, Starbucks and BayWa, community engagement for food insecurity and accessible sports programs, and launch strategy for scaling start-ups. She’s known for collaborative team building, has little patience for politicking or meetings that go nowhere, and holds high standards that people tend to rise to meet. She belongs to far too many wine clubs ("far too many" being her count, not ours), can't say no to a fantasy novel with a dragon in it, and currently plans vacations around her latest pursuit: surf lessons.
