Kammi Bredbenner

Director of Communications

Bio

Kammi Bredbenner joins PMTA as the new Director of Communications.

As a youngster (up until, and after college) Kammi spent over 12 years working in food and beverage at Hersheypark. Post college, Kammi began work at a print shop learning all there is to know about the printing process and designed candy bar overwraps for special events (using only Hershey’s candy bars – obviously)!

After becoming a print-master, off to Philly she went for her big break in advertising working as a production artist and photoshoot producer on clients such as Sunoco, Dietz & Watson, PLCB and Donate Life PA. Next stop: back to Harrisburg to build a brand-new Studio Design department at a Harrisburg-based ad agency. Here, Kammi had the opportunity to work on clients such as StarKist, Hershey’s, and Labatt Blue. Kammi left advertising in 2018 and joined a non-profit who’s mission it was to advocate on behalf of those with intellectual disabilities and autism. In this role, Kammi was responsible for marketing and membership growth.

Before coming to PMTA, Kammi worked in association management as the Executive Director for a group of physicians.

Kammi holds a BFA in Communication Design from Kutztown University.
