Charged with revamping the culture and process at the agency, Ken Seligman joined STRATEGIC in April 2004. Prior to joining up with Peter Stern and beginning his tenure at 209 East 31st, Ken embarked on his career with a small consulting shop funded by the Omnicom Group which developed into atmosphereBBDO; the online arm of the BBDO Worldwide Network of agencies. As a founding member of the organization rising from the assistant level to Director of Operations and Finance, Ken was instrumental in that company’s rise to prominence servicing clients such as Cingular Wireless, General Electric and America Online.
Ken’s day-to-day responsibilities run the gamut from talent management, to overseeing of financial practices, to general office operations, to agency strategy, to perhaps the most crucial aspect of life in any organization; culture. Ken works to develop and implement an environment of personal and professional growth allowing senior people to maximize their talents and junior people to spread their wings and take ownership…all while insuring we don’t tip the scales and take ourselves TOO seriously.
A native of Scarsdale, New York, Ken graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in History and a concentration in Creative Writing. The most likely member of our team to paint his face orange and blue (whether for the Mets or the Wahoos), he resides at Shea Stadium in Flushing, New York. In his dreams. In reality, he and his family reside in Westchester, New York.
