SOQUEL, CA, June 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) McDill Associates, a leading design and marketing agency in the food and beverage categories, is excited to announce the appointment of Aaron Freitas as Vice President of the company. A family-owned business, McDill Associates was founded by his aunt, CEO Melissa McDill, over 30 years ago.
