Just two weeks after naming its first vice president and hiring a junior art director, Thirsty Boy has hired Jeffrey Ohm as account executive, adding to the growing roster at the interactive advertising agency.
Ohm comes with a solid background in account service. “We’ve been growing like crazy during the last year and finally realized we needed someone exactly like Jeff to help us stay organized and process-driven,” says Steve Koeneke, Thirsty Boy founder. “Jeff joined Thirsty Boy just in time to be pummeled with work. He’s already proven his abilities through his enthusiasm, his keen attention to detail and sharp sense of style.”
Ohm comes to Thirsty Boy with ten years of agency experience and an impressive client service history. He has worked on such accounts as Miller Lite, the National Honey Board, Culligan Water and CoCo Key Indoor Water Resorts. Ohm’s office looks out onto Water Street, providing him with an extensive amount of fodder for his inspiring haiku poems.
And, that’s not all. Last week Thirsty Boy attained agency of record status with Tushaus Computer Services. Tushaus provides consulting, planning, design and implementation of IT infrastructure. In addition, Tushaus offers data center services and software/application design and development, complemented by an emphasis on client satisfaction.
“Tushaus is a dream client for us,” adds Koeneke. “They get it and they get what a great marketing campaign can do for a brand. They’re open to new, fresh ideas and that’s going to make a world of difference as they look to grow their business.”
“We needed an agency partner who understood our services, our client satisfaction business model and the role our employees play in driving the success of our business and our brand,” said Kris Palen, Tushaus director of marketing and communications. “We felt partnering with Thirsty Boy would allow us to reach that next level of creativity. I’m impressed by the brands they’ve built. They do smart work, and that’s exactly what we need to get our marketing initiatives really rolling.”
Tushaus is headquartered in Milwaukee and has operations located in Oshkosh, Green Bay and Madison. Tushaus was founded in 1993 and has annual sales of $30M.
