According to a recent Instagram post, Kris Bloom is the newest member of Rizen Creative’s team.
People on the move
Some recent moves and new hires of late:
Christina Hirsch recently joined DaviesMoore as an Account Executive.
Duft Watterson added Lindsey Lankford as an Account Coordinator, Jamie Donley as an Account Manager, and Alex Rhodes as an Art Director.
Over at Foerstel Design, Katy Kithcart and Greg Montemurro have joined the team as Junior Art Director and Art Director, respectively.
Elsewhere, Drake Cooper looks to be once again flirting with the 50-employee mark, based on a quick count of DC’ers on their site.
New hire at Rizen Creative
As noted in the Idaho Business Review, Aletia Flaherty has joined Rizen Creative as an Account Manager. She was previously a senior customer success manager at Jelli, and was with Adapt Management as senior project manager and media marketing manager prior to that.
Flaherty holds a bachelor’s degrees in communications and Spanish from Santa Clara University.
Musical chairs
We got word recently of a couple moves affecting shops in the Boise area:
In February, Jason Sievers moved from DaviesMoore — where he most recently served as Creative Director — to One Stone, where he’s Creative Director for Two Birds, the student-led creative studio. The move also reunites Sievers with Michael Reagan, who spent 17 years with DaviesMoore prior to joining One Stone.
Dan Stone also recently moved from Oliver Russell — where he was Senior Copywriter — to Duft Watterson, in the same capacity. It also reunites Stone with a few of his former Stoltz Marketing Group colleagues, including Ward Duft, Jill Watterson, and Tony Hart.
Boomerang
Back in 2008 we wrote about Jeremy Chase’s departure from Drake Cooper and impending move to Salt Lake City, Utah.
Since then, he went on to broaden his experience with the creative agency Struck, and over 10 years honed his travel and tourism chops with clients like the Utah Office of Tourism, Experience Scottsdale, Catalina Island Company, CMH Heli Ski, Ski Utah, Snowbird, and Sundance. He also was a public speaker and presenter at state, regional and national industry events.
Fast-forward to today, and things have come full circle.
Last month, Jeremy returned to where it all began, and rejoined Drake Cooper as VP of Client Services. In his new role he leads the client services team and collaborates with clients to plan work focused on strategy and results.
Fittingly enough, his first day back at Drake Cooper — Groundhog Day.
Welcome home, Jeremy.
