Atlanta, Georgia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 4, 2024) -  Ammunition, Atlanta's fastest-growing fully integrated advertising agency, announces Stephanie Van Meter as its new Chief Operating Officer. Since joining as Chief of Staff in 2022, Stephanie has driven operational excellence, led HR and employee engagement initiatives, and implemented strategic processes that have improved agency efficiency and increased revenue growth.

In her new role, Stephanie will oversee Ammunition's operations, focusing on enhancing efficiency, profitability, and sustainable growth; managing talent acquisition and development; and spearheading technology and innovation efforts to keep the agency at the industry's cutting edge.

I'm confident that under her expanded leadership, we'll continue to set the pace for what it should feel like to work with an agency both for our internal teams and external partners."

Stephanie has been a guiding force in the agency since joining in 2022. Following Ammunition’s acquisition of Mad Hat Creative in 2023, she managed the seamless integration of the two companies, expanding client relationships and leading to new client wins. She's also played a key role in overhauling Accounts Payable systems, introducing new project management software and practices, and upgrading agency technology platforms used to drive the business. Her contributions have streamlined workflows while empowering teams to deliver high-performing work more efficiently. Her use of AI-driven tools has led to more accurate reporting and forecasting models, enabling more objective, data-driven decisions in resourcing and hiring.

Stephanie also championed a values-based interviewing process and expanded parental leave policies, reinforcing the agency's commitment to employee well-being and fostering a motivated team dedicated to delivering exceptional client results.

"I'm beyond excited to step into this new role and lead Ammunition into its next chapter," said Stephanie Van Meter.
