Welcoming a New Account Director to the Windy City

Chicago's getting a little more crowded with Cornett talent.

We're thrilled to welcome Garrett Kelly as Account Director, where he'll take the reins on day-to-day management of the Conagra Brands media account.

Garrett brings 15+ years of cross-channel media chops from Spark Foundry, and he'll be working hand-in-hand with our media leadership back home in Lexington to keep the Conagra business humming.

Garrett joins Jamon Deaver and Aleigh Hawking as the newest member of our growing Chicago crew, and he arrives on the heels of Cornett's appointment as Conagra's Strategic Media Execution Partner — our first Chicago-based client and another milestone step into the CPG world.

As CEO Christy Hiler put it, Conagra's business called for someone with "strategic perspective, cross-channel media fluency and steady client relationship skills." Sounds like we found our guy.
