She previously held Account Management roles at Accenture and Channel Op, a full-service Amazon account management agency. Based in Park City, Utah, Chelsea will lead day-to-day client relationships and campaign execution for BibRave.
Ava Bieneman joins BibRave in the newly created role of Experiential Marketing Coordinator.
