KBS Boosts Business Development and Communications with Two New Hires

Creative agency KBS today announced the appointment of Alison Moser as head of business development and Danny Hernandez as director of communications and PR. Both will report to KBS President Mike Densmore. The appointments come after a year of steady growth and new client wins including Dean Foods, Seagrams 7, Hyatt and PODS.   

Moser comes to KBS from BBH NY, where she spent four-plus years in business development, first as business development manager and most recently as business development director. During her time there, the agency formed partnerships with notable brands such as Brighthouse Financial, Seamless, Grubhub, and TAP Portugal. Moser also served for a time as the account lead on Netflix, with her work on House of Cards winning the 2016 Integrated Grand Prix at Cannes Lions among other accolades. Prior to BBH NY, Moser served as project leader at McKinney. She began her agency career at Saatchi & Saatchi as an account executive.

“Alison has proven on a big stage the ability to create and nurture new business opportunities through both existing and new clients,” said Densmore. “Her experience will be invaluable for the growth of our agency and I am thrilled to work with her again.”

“KBS’ momentum this year is undeniable, and I am looking forward to working with Mike and the great team at KBS to enhance and expand our relationships with new and existing clientele,” said Moser. “It’s an exciting moment to be a part of.”

Hernandez comes to KBS after six years at Droga5, where he served as PR and communications manager for two-plus years and PR coordinator prior to that. During his tenure at Droga5, he developed media relations strategies for numerous award-winning campaigns and clients including Under Armour, MailChimp, Tourism Australia, Johnsonville, Pizza Hut, Honey Maid, The Y, Chase, Quilted Northern and Hennessy, among others. Landing at KBS completes a career circle for Hernandez, as he started his agency career at KBS in 2011 after graduating from Boston College. 

“We are excited to welcome Danny back to KBS,” said Densmore. “Throughout his career, Danny has demonstrated expertise in developing and implementing strong communications strategies for agencies and clients alike. I’m happy to have him on board to tell our agency narrative through our work, capabilities, people and internal initiatives.” 

“Returning to the agency that introduced me to the ever-changing world of advertising is a humbling and exciting opportunity,” said Hernandez. “I look forward to working with the team at KBS to communicate the agency’s positioning of creating human purpose in a tech-obsessed world as well as amplify our clients’ marketing efforts via earned media.”
