West Bend – EPIC Creative, a leading full-service advertising and marketing agency headquartered in West Bend, Wis., welcomes two new employees – Emily Gunkel and Kelsey Becker – to its creative team to support the agency’s ongoing growth.
In her new role as art director, Gunkel will be responsible for developing and maintaining the visual look for all agency client projects and ensure a high standard of visual execution across all media and campaigns. In addition to overseeing the creative product and production, she will also work with account managers and clients to keep them informed of creative strategy and provide direction and feedback to department employees in an effort to continually grow their creative voice.
Gunkel previously held several positions with Derse and attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts. Gunkel is a resident of West Bend, Wis.
Becker joins EPIC following positions with Guarantee Digital in Hartland, Wis., and Delafield Arts Center. Additionally, she has worked as a freelancer for the past four years, where she works with clients to create logos and overall branding, marketing materials and websites. In her new role as designer, she will work alongside other graphic designers and senior designers, helping to develop and execute print and digital assets for client needs.
Becker earned her Associate’s degree in Graphic Design and is currently pursuing a second Associate’s degree in Web and Digital Media Design, both at Waukesha County Technical College. Becker is a resident of Pewaukee, Wis.
“The wealth of Emily’s tradeshow experience and that Kelsey is an accomplished mixed media fine artist add to an already diverse creative arsenal,” said Dan Augustine, Creative Director at EPIC Creative. “These two are representative of the kind of creatives we look for and attract – talented, experienced and living a creative life in and out of the office.”
