The KC media department has hired another team member – this time in the LA office. We are happy to welcome Hunter Marks as a Media Supervisor. He will be working across LA business including Santa Monica, Sensei and Destination Greater Victoria.
The email marketing and automation team is excited to welcome our newest member, Tristan Reding. Tristan will be working alongside Lauren Pope and Clarissa Ceffalo on a variety of clients, including Kampgrounds of America, Los Cabos and San Jose. Tristan listened to more than 66,000 minutes on Spotify this last year so he's a great resource for podcast recommendations.

Across the Pond
The MarTech team battled it out at the Game Show Battle Rooms where the Blue Barracudas faced off against the Wolf Pack. The teams were neck and neck after several rounds of Family Feud and Wheel of Fortune. The Blue Barracudas team was confident they'd pull off a win until a controversial free point was given to the Wolf Pack. The final round of Price is Right games were intense with both teams struggling, but the Wolf Pack huffed and puffed and blew their competition away.
