David Sonderman to Lead and Grow Cause Creativity at the Agency

SALT LAKE CITY, UT / ACCESS Newswire / April 13, 2026 / Advocacy Marketing Partners (AMP), an advertising agency focused on cause-related communications, has hired new leadership to expand the firm's reach and evolve its value proposition.

Advocacy Marketing Partners has hired David Sonderman as Managing Director. Sonderman joins the agency from The Shipyard where he was Managing Partner and prior to that its Chief Creative Officer.

This leadership investment reflects the firm's momentum to elevate its service to mission-based organizations, trade associations, corporate advocacy campaigns, public affairs initiatives, nonprofits, and issue coalitions that seek to shape perceptions and activate the public.

"The advocacy space is underserved by strategic creativity," said Todd Cameron, CEO. "It's so easy to see the human benefits of advocacy that we often overlook the hopes and fears of the very people we're trying to mobilize."

Sonderman will organize the agency with a sharper strategic and creative lens on its clients' work.

"The most rewarding work most comes when the stakes are most human," said Sonderman. "The agency already has extraordinary targeting and media capabilities that line up perfectly with insight-driven cause creativity. The question won't be finding audiences, it'll be how can we stir more of them to action?"

With decades of combined experience in strategic communications and persuasion campaigns, Advocacy Marketing Partners' expanded leadership positions the firm for accelerated growth while deepening service to existing partners.
