AAF Reno

Meet Ad Person of the Year: Danni Winter

Danni Winter is a seasoned media leader with nearly 15 years of experience building and scaling high-performance paid media programs. Currently serving as the Director of Integrated Planning and Paid Media at Noble Studios, Danni specializes in the strategic management of multi-channel campaigns where data and financial accountability intersect. She is a powerhouse on the technical side of the industry, particularly in developing tracking and attribution frameworks that enable brands to see the full value of their media spend. Her client roster features a diverse mix of major players, including SiriusXM Media, Visit Lake Tahoe, Fremont Street Experience, and Yosemite Mariposa County.

Danni’s approach is uniquely informed by her background in finance, holding both a Marketing degree and an MBA in Finance from the University of Nevada, Reno. This analytical lens allows her to manage complex budgets and media allocations with a focus on bottom-line impact rather than just surface-level metrics. Beyond her work at Noble, Danni is a dedicated advocate for the industry. She is the immediate past President of AAF Reno and served on the boards of the Reno-Tahoe AMA and the Junior League of Reno, helping shape the local marketing and philanthropic landscape.

Join us on June 25th from 5:30p-8:30p at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa to celebrate Danni and the rest of our honorees. Admission includes food and 1 drink.
