Chuck Penna—our creative captain and founding partner—is hanging up his hat after an incredible 34-year career at Penna Powers. For over 40 years, Chuck has broken down walls and shattered expectations with his innovative ideas and unique perspective on the advertising industry. As a pioneer of strategic creative advertising in Utah, Chuck continually disrupted the norm and raised the bar of excellence.

He opened the doors of Penna Powers at the young age of 26 and, while the agency name has changed over the years, Chuck’s passion for problem-solving and building clients’ business has been constant. He has proven himself as a hardworking, creative individual, and also the lifeblood of Penna Powers. Here’s a look back on Chuck’s storied career.
