Camp + King has promoted Katie Burleson to sr. art director and Justin Marimon to sr. 3D artist.
Burleson is being promoted from art director. For the past four years, Burleson’s visual storytelling talent has been put into play in international galleries and for brands like Cesar Dog Food, Wells Fargo, Papa Johns, and RE/MAX.
Of her promotion, Burleson said, “Since my first day at Camp + King I’ve felt lucky to be at an agency that prioritizes heart, creativity, and a good laugh! Better yet, I’ve been surrounded by great people who have helped me grow so much.”
Marimon is being promoted to sr. 3D artist from motion graphics artist. Marimon prides himself on being a multi-disciplinary designer, animator, and a lifetime-student of his craft. He started his career as a graphic designer with a passion for commercial photography and has since expanded his skillset to include CGI motion graphics as well as VFX and compositing. When art directors present groundbreaking concepts, Marimon aims to be the artist that can make it a reality, regardless of the toolset required.
“I started at Camp + King as a 2D visual designer with aspirations of learning animation,” said Marimon. “At every turn, they’ve supported my learning, growth, and constant exploration into new mediums.”
