After a new business win for the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, and increased work on multi-year clients Ergotron and Bulwark, KOSE is experiencing significant growth. With this in mind, KOSE has hired agency veteran Joe King to build an account management department for the digital media agency, lead the agency toward continued growth, and personally impact a number of clients’ businesses.
King has spent his career in integrated ad agencies successfully leading teams on an impressive range of brands. Most recently, he helped guide the account management department. In addition, he led various brand teams at MONO, including a portfolio of business for Google and Molson Coors. King also led work for Alfa Romeo, the NHL, Loews Hotel Group, Advance Auto Parts, Harvard Business School and Sam’s Club, amongst several others. Prior to MONO, King lived in Amsterdam and worked at the agency 180. There he led the global adidas account including their massive digitally-led World Cup campaign. He also spent several years working on General Motors and Harley-Davidson.
“The growth of our client’s business is driving the need for structural change within KOSE. As our client’s businesses have grown, their campaigns have evolved to be more complex. They now include more aggressive goals achieved across a broader mix of media channels. They also include sophisticated bid strategies, and tracking across their Marketing Tech Stack,” said Nicole Newville, KOSE Founder and President. “Supporting our clients requires more communication and conversations between teams. Given that, we’re excited to add Joe to drive integration within KOSE, and across our client and agency partners,” she added.
“I’m so impressed with the brilliant minds at KOSE and the work they have been doing. As a result, I couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining this team as the agency continues to grow,” King said.
