As part of our continued growth and expansion here at e-storm, we’ve been making some strategic hires in our San Francisco office. In February, we welcomed Kevin Ritchie to the family to head our client services team. Whether a result of his magical powers or his lucky charms, the agency has continued to grow in staff to the point that our creative team has had to set up shop in the office kitchen.

We’ve made several more additions to the team since then, with Antony Ho and Archi Rajwat joining our PPC strategy team. But the hire that we’d like to highlight today is that of Ron Wagner, who I’d like to introduce as our new President and Chief Operating Officer.

After an illustrious career founding, leading and growing several successful interactive marketing agencies and organizations from Ironlight Digital (sold to Publicis), ClearInk and more, we’re thrilled to have Ron bring his expertise in helping e-storm solidify itself as a premier international online marketing agency. Ron’s day-to-day activities will focus mostly on further improving our efficiency and competitiveness, while also helping make the agency’s expansion as seamless as possible (like helping us find a bigger office – or at least make the kitchen bigger for the creative team).

While he does that, I’ll remain in my role as CEO and continue directing the agency’s long-term growth in services, and international expansion, while my business partner Nancy Riveong, CFO will continue managing our financial health, and continue to be the pillar of our company.

These are exciting times for e-storm, and we’re thrilled to have so many new additions to the family. The next few months will bring even more changes, and we look forward to sharing them with you as they happen.
