Blue Issue Agency Names Kirk Heinlein President
New leadership to accelerate growth and expansion plans for creative services and talent management firm
Dallas, October 28, 2009 -Blue Issue Agency has named Kirk Heinlein agency president, a newly created position at the creative services and talent management firm. Heinlein will manage general business operations and client services, as well as provide strategic direction and execution for Blue Issue’s growth and expansion initiatives. Heinlein previously served as general manager for the Dallas office of Cheil Worldwide, a Samsung Group-affiliated marketing and advertising agency.
“After five years of growth and success, Blue Issue is now ready for our next stage of expansion. To continue our growth, it’s important for us to attract best-in-class leadership to take us to the next level. I’m very excited because Kirk will provide exactly that leadership,” said Blue Issue founder Jonas Park.
Heinlein brings with him nearly 20 years of marketing, branding and advertising experience. In addition to Cheil Worldwide, Heinlein has held management positions at DDB Worldwide (New York and Dallas) and client-side at Sprint. He’s had the opportunity to work with some of the icons in the advertising world, including photographers Steven Klein and Les Guzman. Additionally, Heinlein acts as communications director for the DFW Federal Club, part of the Human Rights Campaign.
“Under the leadership of Jonas Park, Blue Issue has seen tremendous growth and success over the last five years – so much so that, in order to continue that growth, the agency needed to add additional leadership. I’ve got many years’ experience in growing companies – creatively, financially and within the industry – I’m enthusiastic about where we can take Blue Issue. Building on the strength of our past performance, there are truly no limits,” said Heinlein.
“You have no idea about how happy I am to add Kirk to our Blue Issue team. It allows me to focus nearly 100 percent of my efforts on delivering superior creative ideas for our clients, all while cultivating new and exciting creative talent,” added Park.
Building on the recent addition of Heinlein, Blue Issue is now aggressively looking for award-winning artists and stylists to add to the growing team.
