Veteran agency and creative producer Kimberly Abels has come aboard the staff of Charlotte-based production company Wondersmith as sr. producer.
For more than five years, Abels has held the position of broadcast producer for Trone Brand Energy, where she has managed productions for the North Carolina Education Lottery and numerous national and regional accounts. Through this role, Kimberly has worked with Wondersmith founder/EP Joe Murray and creative director Thom Blackburn time and again, including several collaborations on the NC Lottery and Greenies, as well as the award-winning campaign for North State Communications.
Prior to joining Trone, Abels was senior producer for bicoastal production company Thornberg and Forester in New York for two years, and that position followed previous stints as a producer for eyeball and J. Walter Thompson Worldwide, also in NYC.
“Since we’ve worked very closely with Kimberly over the past five years, we know that we are adding an all-star in terms of production and client management,” said Murray. “Her experience has been earned on the agency side, but also inside very high profile design and production companies, both in New York and in North Carolina. Her skillset aligns with our trajectory perfectly.”
