| Luke Gutschenritter joins Associated as Account Specialist
 WICHITA, Kan. – Kansas native, Luke Gutschenritter, has returned from California to join Associated as an account specialist. Most recently, Gutschenritter worked for Veedubdeezyn, a film industry art direction company, as Art Department Lead-Man. In that capacity, Gutschenritter built and decorated movie sets, supervised and helped train new employees and coordinated the acquisition, placement and return of movie set props.
Gutschenritter graduated from California State University, Northridge, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with emphasis in Marketing. To help finance his education while in college, Gutschenritter established and managed his own company, Grassmasters Lawn Care Service, in El Segundo, Calif. Gutschenritter says owning his own company while in college not only allowed him to apply what he was learning in college to a real-life situation, but to learn how to manage employees, prepare invoices, design advertising and promotions, handle customer relations — issues common to every business.
“In addition to the high academic honors he has earned, Luke has proven he knows how to design and implement marketing strategies that work,” says Associated president Bruce Rowley. “His eclectic background — from working in the film industry in Hollywood to running his own successful business — represents the wide array of dynamic insights that will serve Associated clients well. We are very pleased Luke has chosen to return to Kansas from California to join Associated.”
