GKV Announces New Co-Creative Directors
Dave Broscious and Mark Rosica Named Co-Creative Directors
GKV, one of Baltimore’s largest integrated marketing firms, today announced it has named Dave Broscious and Mark Rosica co-creative directors. Broscious and Rosica have more than four decades of experience between them creating dynamic, breakthrough campaigns that help challenger brands stand out in crowded marketplaces and ultimately drive business.
“We are so fortunate to have two amazingly talented and smart creative directors at the helm of our creative department,” said Roger Gray, Chairman and CEO. “I have personally worked with Mark and Dave for more than 12 years and continue to be impressed by the quality of work they create and how they continue to raise the bar for our clients and staff every day.”
GKV’s creative team was previously under the direction of Jeff Millman, who has been with GKV since 1983. While Millman will continue his leadership role with several accounts, particularly with baby boomer and health care focused clients, he has turned over the day-to-day operations, strategy and oversight of GKV’s creative department to Broscious and Rosica.
“We want to build on Jeff’s legacy of inspiring our employees to be heroes to our clients and each other,” said Dave Broscious, SVP, senior chief creative strategist. “We want our creative to generate ideas that shake things up, win hearts and minds, and help brands win.”
