Ahnalise has always been a student of human behavior. From her early days in the business of marketing and advertising, she has always understood that the truth is the most powerful strategy you can employ in advertising. Ahnie earned her Bachelor in Fine Arts and Communication at Loyola Marymount, after which she earned her master’s degree in Business Administration. During her academic studies, Ahnie worked closely with LMU Athletics Media Relations. Shortly thereafter, she joined the team at Hill and Knowlton, further refining her understanding of the philosophical foundations of branding and lending her keen marketing knowledge to such brands as Adidas, Hewlett Packard and Fox Home Entertainment. Ahnie has since worked closely with a number of Mering’s most prominent clients, including Pebble Beach Resorts, San Diego Tourism Authority, Balboa Park Cultural Partnership, Pacific Hospitality Group and many more. When Ahnie is not pushing our creative teams to think more strategically, she enjoys traveling, entertaining and exploring the great outdoors.
