Joanne Kim

partner

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."  Dr. Seuss, aka Theodor Geisel

Thinks Creatively

"Creativity doesn't only happen at Starbucks. And it's not reserved for creatives. Ideation resides in every corner of our agency. It's in the air, in our DNA, oozing out our pores. It can get messy. Really messy. But we're OK with that."

Risks Intelligently

"Risk or fade into obscurity."

Works Passionately

"It's our job to create ideas that build the fortunes of our clients. Lots of ideas. Ideas that challenge, calm, inspire, improve, tempt, terrify, incite or change. And each idea has to be better than the last. No excuses."

More about Joanne

Expects and accepts nothing less than the best. From herself. From those she works with. Even from her clients. But we're not scared. We know what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

If it's new and chic and happening, Joanne's been there, done that. One feels so yesterday around her. She's so tomorrow or even next month. We like that she keeps us on the hemorrhaging edge.

At home in the big cities of the world, but made a small town her home. She is, hands down, the go-to partner for travel, cooking and gardening advice.

Plays with Mr. Potato Head, Wii, dog toys, puppets and paint. Subscribes to the theory that toys, yoga or a good glass of pinot noir are better than therapy.

Has won too many awards to mention. Not that awards mean anything. Who cares about awards? It's about getting results for clients. Please!

Devoted to the fine arts, literary arts, performing arts, kids in the arts. Art's kind of a funny word when you keep saying it over and over again.
