Creative agency Camp + King has hired Ciaran Rogers as director of strategy.
Rogers began his New York advertising career working on the global management of McCann Erickson’s Priceless campaign for MasterCard in 2004. A few years in, he jumped to planning and added Wendy’s and MLB to his portfolio and acquired a deep and fundamental understanding of the relationship between cultural emotions and consumer purchase behavior. Next, he moved to Hanft Raboy and Partners, where he led strategic development for a series of IAC businesses; then he moved to the boutique Night Agency, where he was a principal and head planner.
But, the big-agency life soon beckoned: Rogers left to run planning on Lysol and Ritz Crackers at Euro RSCG in 2010. His work on these brands led to an integrated planning process for all of Reckitt Benckiser’s brands. He followed this stint with freelancing gigs at agencies Razorfish and Tribal DDB—creating a neuro-testing lab—and a role as strategy director at ad agency KBS, where he headed planning efforts for investment company Vanguard.
Kamala Harris Receives Chairman’s Prize At NAACP Image Awards
Former Vice President Kamala Harris stepped on the NAACP Image Awards stage Saturday night with a sobering message, calling the civil rights organization a pillar of the Black community and urging people to stay resilient and hold onto their faith during the tenure of President Donald Trump.
"While we have no illusions about what we are up against in this chapter in our American story, this chapter will be written not simply by whoever occupies the oval office nor by the wealthiest among us," Harris said after receiving the NAACP's Chairman's Award. "The American story will be written by you. Written by us. By we the people."
The 56th annual Image Awards was held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in the Los Angeles area.
Harris, defeated by Trump in last year's presidential election, was the first woman and the first person of color to serve as vice president. She had previously been a U.S. senator from California and the state's attorney general.
In her first major public appearance since leaving office, Harris did not reference her election loss or Trump's actions since entering the Oval Office, although Trump mocked her earlier in the day at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Harris spoke about eternal vigilance, the price of liberty, staying alert, seeking the truth and America's future.
"Some see the flames on our horizons, the rising waters in our cities, the shadows gathering over our democracy and ask 'What do we do now?'" Harris said. "But we know exactly what to do, because we have done it before. And we will do it again. We use our power. We organize, mobilize. We educate. We advocate. Our power has never come from having an easy path."
