Completes new work for
Sears and Chicago agency mcgarrybowen.

SANTA MONICA, California—Award-winning motion
graphics, design and animation studio BLIND
has retained KK & Joanna for
representation in the Midwest. Principals Kristina “KK” Kovacevic and Joanna
Miller will pursue advertising assignments for BLIND in Chicago, Detroit,
Minneapolis and other markets in the region. The relationship has already born
fruit in the form of a project for Sears and Chicago agency mcgarrybowen. Other
projects are in bidding and planning stages.

BLIND Executive Producer Tobin Kirk says that his team is
excited about the quality of the creative coming out of Chicago and other
cities in the area. “We’re big fans of Midwestern agencies,” he says.  “We’re also excited about the energy and enthusiasm
that KK and Joanna have added to the mix. The relationship is already yielding
great results.”

The enthusiasm is mutual, notes Kovacevic, who described
reaction to BLIND’s latest work, which includes campaigns for such brands as
Crate & Barrel, Ancestry.com and Flintstones, as well as for the Broadway
show The Last Ship, as “phenomenal.”
“The production value they deliver is exceptional and the creative is fresh; it
speaks to so many Midwest-based accounts,” Kobacevic says. “Plus, the team at BLIND
will bend over backwards to make budgets work. They’re wonderful
collaborators.”

The expansion of BLIND’s sales strategy comes as it is also
growing and diversifying its service offering. The studio recently launched BLIND
Labs, a new creative unit focused on innovative technology platforms for
brands, entertainment companies and startups. Kirk notes that clients are
looking for creative partners that bring multiple skills to the table,
innovative ideas and a flexible work ethic.

KK & Joanna (formerly KK Reps) has been representing
creative talent for more than fourteen years. It’s roster includes companies
engaged in live action, visual effects and new media.  The company can be reached at (312) 533-4047
