Racheal Bates

Chief Experience Officer

Fort Worth, Texas

Racheal Bates leads customer experience strategy across TSC, drawing on more than 12 years at the agency. Her career at TSC began as a Business Development Intern and progressed through Director of Marketing, VP of Customer Experience, and now Chief Experience Officer — a trajectory that gives her an uncommon depth of understanding of every facet of the agency's operations.

Racheal brings a rare combination of analytical thinking and visual intelligence to client engagements. Her graduate thesis at Technological University Dublin explored cross-cultural implications of color in brand logos, research that continues to inform her approach to experience design and brand perception across global markets.

Before marketing, Racheal worked as a staff photographer and photo editor in Dublin, Ireland. That background in visual storytelling and editorial judgment shapes how she thinks about every client touchpoint — from the first brand impression to post-engagement follow-through.

She ensures every TSC engagement delivers measurable strategic outcomes, not just creative output. Under her leadership, the client experience practice has become one of the agency's core differentiators.
