Street level views of marketing & advertising in Idaho
Quick spin around (somewhat) recent new hires and related news:
Over the summer, DaviesMoore added a few new folks to their team: Account Coordinator Andrew Greenblatt, Digital Marketing and Media Specialist Shannon Reilly, and Account Coordinator Nick Kuzio.
Stoltz Marketing Group recently announced the addition of Content Strategist Jake Smith, and Account Coordinator Erick Gutierrez.
Elsewhere, Marc Cowlin was promoted to VP of Content and Digital Marketing at Duft Watterson.
SOVRN recently announced that they’ve expanded into Montana, with the addition of a presence in Helena.
From their announcement and post on their Facebook page:
HELENA, Montana — After 10 years of successful business in Idaho, SOVRN Creative is expanding its operations into Montana.
In 2008, three friends left the security of a successful marketing agency and started SOVRN, an independent, design-build creative marketing company focusing on brand development and implementation over several media platforms. The agency’s targeted mission is “Have Fun, Be Different, and Deliver an Exceptional Product Every Time.”
Ten years later, the three partners are still doing what they love and are excited to open up shop in the Big Sky State. They have chosen their first Montana employee, Brian Elliott, a Helena-born entrepreneur who is an active member of the the local community and fully driven by his love for outdoor culture.
The Boise Advertising Federation’s annual Legends of Advertising Golf Tournament is coming up on Friday, October 5th at Shadow Valley Golf Club.

Registration closes October 1st. But don’t wait — space is limited. Contact Dustin Fuller with questions.
It seems that CLM is the place to take that next step in your agency career as of late, if the trio of new hires they recently announced is to be used as an indicator.
Senior account manager Josh Mercaldo moved to CLM from Drake Cooper, where he spent the past decade as an account director.
Greg Montemurro joined CLM’s creative team as a digital art director, after spending time with shops such as Foerstel, Stoltz Marketing Group, and Wire Stone.
Digital media manager Ben Adams moved to CLM from DaviesMoore, where he was most recently a senior digital marketing and media strategist.
Congratulations to all.
Love Communications, a Salt Lake City, Utah-based agency, recently opened an office in Boise, led by Julie Hart, who joined the company in May.
From the press release on their website about the expansion:
“Boise is a natural fit for Love Communications,” said Tom Love, president of Love Communications. “We have an existing client base that spreads across Idaho and we’re ready to keep growing that footprint. With a great new space in one of the most well-known buildings in Idaho, I don’t think we could have found a better place to be. And we can leave Salt Lake City and be in a meeting in Boise within two hours!”
The full press release about the expansion into Idaho can be found here, and more about Julie Hart can be found here.
Love Communications was founded in 1999, has a staff of approximately 40, and 2017 capitalized billings in excess of $50 million, according to their website.
