Ad Executive Chairs Gala

Kelly Fredrickson of MullenLowe has been pretty busy. The president of Boston’s winningest ad agency seems to keep landing new clients, and she is orchestrating a headquarters move from downtown to the Seaport.

The event takes place Friday at the Marriott Copley Place hotel and features actress/singer Audra McDonald as the main performer.
