Bio
Richard Kronengold
I’ve known Ron for over 20 years. We worked together at BBDO on Visa, and now with my own agency, spark361. He's a go-to guy — never refuses you when you ask him for help, and is terrific with challenging assignments and tight deadlines. He asks insightful questions and has a great ability to merge strategic and creative thinking. Not to mention he does it with a great sense of humor. His contributions were essential to the success of the projects we delivered together...from start ups to Fortune 500 Brands. I would recommend Ron for any creative challenge, in any media form. He is an asset to any team, and I will surely and gladly work with him again.
Jimmy Siegel
I was a vice chairman at BBDO. Ron was one of the more valued members of my team--working on numerous campaigns, pitches and award winning super bowl spots. He's a terrific art director. Fast, smart, creative, and thoroughly professional. Funny too. Since BBDO, I've used Ron on a number of assignments for the political and issue work we do at Siegel Strategies. He'd be an asset for anyone interested in creative talent.
