Aruna Mall, President, Teal Media Division

Longtime chief creative officer will take the helm as founder Jessica Teal joins the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Foundation.

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, October 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- VeraData today announced that Aruna Mall has become President of Teal Media Division, a VeraData Holdings agency, succeeding founder Jessica Teal, who is joining the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Foundation.

Mall has spent 15 years at Teal, most recently as chief creative officer, where she has helped shape the agency’s creative vision, work and culture across its brand, web and digital portfolio.

“Teal is a creative agency first, and that isn’t changing,” said Allison Porter, president, Avalon, a VeraData Holdings agency. “Aruna has been central to the work and culture that have made Teal successful. She brings clients the continuity of a leader who knows the agency inside and out, along with the perspective to keep building on what Jessica and the team created. This thoughtful transition has been years in the making.”

Teal Media is a full-service creative agency serving nonprofits and mission-driven organizations across brand, website design and development, digital marketing and creative strategy. Throughout its growth, the agency has remained focused on creative work that helps organizations communicate clearly, connect with their audiences and inspire action.

Mall’s appointment keeps creative leadership at the center of the agency.

As President of Teal Media, Mall will lead Teal’s team and guide the agency’s continued growth while maintaining the creative focus that has defined its work. Teal Media will also continue working across VeraData Group to bring its creative, brand, and digital capabilities to a broader range of nonprofit and mission-driven organizations.

“I’ve spent 15 years helping build Teal’s creative practice, team, and culture, so I come into this role knowing both what we should protect and where we have room to grow,” Mall said. “Jessica and I have been working toward this handoff for years, and I’m honored to lead a team I know, trust, and believe in. Our clients can expect the same Teal they know: ambitious creative thinking, close partnership, and work built to serve their missions.”
Jessica Teal joins the Women’s Suffrage National Monument Foundation as vice president of special projects, where she will help advance the effort to build the first monument on the National Mall dedicated to American women’s history.

The move continues a career spent helping mission-driven organizations use creative strategy, communications, and storytelling to move people to action.

Teal Media will continue operating as part of VeraData Holdings, alongside Avalon Consulting Group, giving clients access to capabilities spanning creative, brand, digital, fundraising strategy, direct response, data science, and analytics.
