The Wendt Agency

06/12/2026

A heritage like this doesn’t happen by accident.

Two leaders. One conversation. A defining moment in Wendt’s history. Brenda and Jennifer sat down to share the stories, the work, and the milestones that shaped our agency—and what comes next.

She's led with confidence, drive, care, and a love for both team and strategy. Today, we raise a glass to her leadership and look toward the future as Jennifer Fritz steps into the role as Wendt’s eighth President & CEO! 🥂🎉

Cheers to our next chapter!

The lessons. The pivots. The clients through the years and the successes that stand out. Our CEO puts it all into words, looking back on her journey in leading Montana's longest-standing ad agency. ✨

As I look back on my years at Wendt, twenty-two of them as CEO, I’m filled with a mix of gratitude, pride, and awe at the […]

HISTORY IN THE MAKING.

In 97 years, Wendt has had just seven CEOs. Seven leaders who have shaped what this agency is today. And next month, we'll be making that eight.

After 22 years of remarkable leadership as our CEO, Brenda Peterson will be transitioning into retirement and our fearless president, Jennifer Fritz, will be stepping into the role of President & CEO.

Brenda has been an unstoppable force at Wendt—leading our team with clarity, conviction, and a deep belief in the people behind the work. And while her legacy is built into Wendt, we know our next chapter will be just as enduring.

A treasured confidant. An inspiring friend. A monumental leader. 🥂Join us in celebrating Brenda and the impact that's shaped us all!

From the beginning, Brenda knew leadership was about more than taking the reins. It meant building a culture where people wanted to show up, collaborate, and do great work together.

And yes, we’re still taking notes.

How cool are our clients?! Grateful for the opportunity to present at the Pacific Steel & Recycling Igniter Summit. Can't wait to see those brand stories come to life. 🔥

🌱 Pausing our regularly scheduled programming to celebrate something pretty special… last week’s very first Igniter Summit. 🔥

Over three days in Great Falls, Montana, we brought together our culture ambassadors (Igniters)from across our footprint 👣to learn, connect, challenge each other, volunteer, laugh, and continue strengthening what makes this company different (Employee Ownership)! 🥳

Our Igniters are more than participants in programs or meetings. They are connectors. Culture builders. People who are willing to model ownership in action every single day.

Throughout the Summit, we:
💚 Learned through leadership and culture sessions
💚 Worked hands-on together
💚 Volunteered with the incredible team at 's House.
💚 Toured our Great Falls branches (Great Falls Steel, Great Falls Recycling, Steel Etc., and Corp HQ).
💚 And yes… hosted our first ever Paper, Scissors, Rock Tournament 🏆 (an amazing idea borrowed from our friends at )

Underneath all the fun, this Summit represented something much deeper.

More than 119 years ago, Joseph Thiebes built Pacific on values like trust, fairness, hard work, and connection. Those roots still matter today. You could feel them in every conversation, every shared idea, every volunteer moment, and every person willing to step up and help make Pacific stronger.

Ownership is not just something we say.
It is something we build together.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this first Summit a success, especially:
👏 The Wendt Agency
👏 Jesse Tyler from Hypertherm
👏 Our Great Falls teams
👏 And every Igniter who showed up fully engaged and ready to pour into others

Culture doesn't just happen. It's created! 💪

Full-service isn't just something we say. It's what our team is rooted in. How we think, how we move, how we work!
