As wonderful it is to write about talented people’s exciting new positions in entertainment marketing, it’s also wonderful to write about talented people taking their skills to other areas. For instance, March 10 was the day Kansas City-based MICHAEL STEWART (some of us call him Mike) got his very first client under his own creative banner. Give a lookout for #Smartchoicecreative and remember he’s bringing the flair of having wrangled creative for KCTV in KC, KFMB in San Diego, KTVT in DFW and, well…you get the idea. He’s a KU grad so any of you Jayhawks who are looking for video production….there ya go.

Just a bit down the Interstate, another marketing pro is diving into a new endeavour. TIM BOKNECHT is now the owner of ASP, the American Swimming Pool Company in Tulsa. (See how the first sentence there foreshadowed his new job…thank you) Tim is a Kansan and studied at K State and Wichita State before going on to found Bravo Productions which led to him to KAKE in Wichita and KOKI in Tulsa. Having a pool put in myself, and it’s a shame Tulsa is just too far… BTW, not the jpg of Tim using that marketing magic what with the pool and blue shirt. Well played.

Both of these great guys get two big Well Dunne!s
