Employees viewed as “current and future of leaders” of the agency
Camp + King is powering up its junior partners to partner status, Founder and Chief Executive Officer Jamie King announced today. The seven from various departments, such as Creative, Brand, Talent, Strategy, and Production, will help the Havas-aligned shop ascend to the next level.
They are as follows:
- Kristin Barbour, Managing Director Chicago, Jr. Partner
- Emily Dillow, Director of Brand, Jr. Partner
- Jesse Dillow, Executive Creative Director, Jr. Partner
- Rikesh Lal, Executive Creative Director, Jr. Partner
- Stacy McClain, Director of Production, Jr. Partner
- David Morrissey, Director of Strategy, Jr. Partner
- Anne Saulnier, Director of Talent & Operations, Jr. Partner
“We affectionately refer to them as the ‘+’ in Camp + King,” King said. “They are the current and future leaders of Camp + King, and this designation aligns with their role in the company.”
Five of the executives were named junior partner in 2016. Barbour and Morrissey joined the company later and were subsequently added to the core junior partner and leadership team.
“The agency has become much more than Jamie and I could have imagined because of the passion, creativity and efforts of Emily, Rikesh, Anne, Jesse, Stacy, David and Kristin,” said Roger Camp, founder and chief creative officer, “It’s no surprise that as each one of them has grown, and so too has the agency. So, it’s only fitting that their contributions are reflected in their roles as partners.
Camp + King is a four-time AdAge Small Agency of the Year and one of Outside Magazine's Best Places to Work in America. The 65-person shop is located in San Francisco and Chicago. They work with brands such as Energizer, RE/MAX and Papa John’s among others.
“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
