Team One, Publicis Groupe’s fully integrated media, digital and communications agency, has expanded into the Northwest with the addition of its newest team based in Boise, Idaho. This transition is the latest organizational shift resulting from Publicis Groupe’s realignment of resources across the network, and will now more deeply connect Team One’s media, technology and strategy offerings with the Boise team’s daily operations.
“With this transition, Team One will now have a presence in more corners of the United States, allowing us to deeply support the many growing companies located in the great Northwest,” said Julie Michael, CEO of Team One. “We’re eager to integrate this new team and start learning from each other. Their deep history serving B2B and technology clients will be a complimentary addition to our current capabilities, and will no doubt help us continue to grow and evolve, rounding out the connected services and products we’re able to deliver to clients.”
The Team One Boise office will be led by managing director, Christal Gammill, a veteran of the Publicis team who has been overseeing operations of the Boise office in its prior iteration since 2013.
Founded over 30 years ago as Floathe Johnson, Inc., the Boise office was later acquired by The Evans Group, and has been part of Publicis Groupe since 2001. The Boise team brings deep experience in the B2B marketing space, working with major technology companies like HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise for over three decades. Current clients include Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HP Inc., the J.R. Simplot Company, and Crucial by Micron, which will now be added to Team One’s roster.
The Boise team currently provides account management, creative and production management services. Team One will bring a new layer of strategy, event/experiential, PR, media, and data capabilities to Boise’s existing clients.
“Team One is a natural fit for our group,” said Gammill. “We are genuinely excited about working closely and collaboratively with our new Team One colleagues throughout the U.S. And we are looking forward to bringing new ideas and insights to our local and global clients, building on our long-standing client relationships.”
Historically, the Boise team has supported global brands across the transportation, telecommunications, and healthcare spaces, in addition to state lotteries. The office also has a history of donating time and services to local and regional nonprofits including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Idaho, The Wassmuth Center for Human Rights, The NAACP Treasure Valley Chapter, and the Women’s and Children’s Alliance
Harvey Weinstein hit with new sex crime charge in New York
Harvey Weinstein pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a new sex crime charge in New York, as he awaits retrial in his landmark #MeToo case.
Details of the new allegations were not immediately available. He was charged with committing a criminal sex act.
The jailed ex-movie mogul has long maintained that any sexual activity was consensual.
Prosecutors revealed last week that Weinstein had been indicted on additional sex crime charges that weren't part of the case that led to his now-overturned 2020 conviction. But the new indictment was sealed until his arraignment.
Prosecutors have said that the grand jury heard evidence of up to three alleged assaults — two in hotels in the Tribeca neighborhood and one at a lower Manhattan residential building. The purported incidents took place from the mid-2000s to 2016, prosecutors said.
But it's not clear whether any of those allegations underlie the new indictment.
While bracing for the new charges, Weinstein also is awaiting retrial after New York state's highest court this spring overturned his 2020 conviction on rape and sexual assault charges involving two women. The high court, called the Court of Appeals, ordered a new trial, which is tentatively scheduled to begin Nov. 12.
The Court of Appeals ruled that the then-trial judge unfairly allowed testimony against him based on allegations that were not part of the case. That judge's term expired in 2022, and he is no longer on the bench.
Prosecutors have said they'll seek to fold the new charges into the retrial, but Weinstein's lawyers say it should be a separate case.
Weinstein, who also was convicted in 2022 in a Los Angeles rape case, remains behind bars while awaiting his New York retrial.
