The Minnesotan: Special episode featuring Liz Westerhaus

While her technical title is Senior Account Executive, Liz Westerhaus provides so much more to the YHH brand than just her skills in managing relationships with our advertising partners. 

In addition to running YHH's day-to-day account management, Liz is one of YHH's staff photographers, shooting and editing game photos from youth to the pros, and is the first point-of-contact for potential media partners. 

With her signature warmth and wit, Liz takes listeners behind the brand, shares her vision for accounts, and explains how her drive to nurture helps brands across the state of Minnesota achieve the visibility they desire with a place in the YHH family. 

Hope you enjoy.
