MANAGEMENT BIOGRAPHIES

Rick Knief, Partner/EP/Director
Rick began his career as an art director, working at advertising agencies in both New York and Boston. But it was while working as a creative director at Ogilvy & Mather, New York, where he was able to translate his passion for art direction, photography, and story-telling into the art of directing when he was given the opportunity to direct his first commercial for American Express.

From that moment on there was no turning back and Rick went on to win the top honor of “Best Creative Director” at the Forbes American Business Awards for the success of his work on the British Virgin Islands tourism campaign, which he both directed and art directed. That same year, his 9/11 documentary, “Looking for My Brother,” premiered at the Boston Film Festival and earned praise from both the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald.

While some of Rick’s work as creative director can be seen in the archives of the One Show, Communication Arts, and D&AD, it is his work as a director where he really shines. Using his unique, collaborative style he is able to take advantage of his marketing and people skills and elicit smart, genuine and human performances from his talent, capture their emotions, and connect them to the brands he works on in a clean, graphic, and cinematic style.

Tom Drymalski, Partner/Executive Creative Director
Tom makes award-winning work for important brands. As a veteran of global advertising, Tom has had the opportunity to lead great campaigns and craft entire brand platforms for American Express, Chevron, Citi, IBM, and DHL, among others. Tom has created stories on every possible platform in over 100 countries and has worked with everyone from Academy Award winners to Olympians.

Tom is also bilingual, having served on the client-side as Creative Director at Nature’s Bounty, leading a team of 40 professionals. Tom speaks both creative and business. He understands how to foster breakthrough creative content, rationalize it, and navigate its relevance through the marketing matrix without diminishing its power. Always easier said than done!

Terry Martin, Partner/Client Leader
Terry has lead a distinguished career at global agencies growing blue chip brands through integrated marketing communications. Terry’s clients have included American Express, FedEx, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, H&R Block, and IKEA. Terry was most recently Managing Director at Ogilvy.
