space150, a tech-driven creative agency, today announced its continued growth path with Paula Maki as its new executive creative director. She reports to space150 founder and CEO Billy Jurewicz and works alongside long time ECD Ned Lampert.
Adding new business wins from Apple (Beats by Dre), Mayo Clinic, Treace Medical Concepts, Ascensia Diabetes Care, and CHEQ, a social-gifting consumer app - space150 has seen nearly 30% agency growth this year.
“Change is central to space150’s DNA as we have continued to reinvent our identity every 150 days and have done so since opening our doors back in 2000,” said Billy. “With Paula joining our ranks as a new ECD, we look forward to writing new chapters of change with our clients and our teams.”
Paula brings a stellar track record of working with world-class brands including Target, Google, eBay, MSNBC, Tinder, and Allstate. She joins space150 from Elephant, where she was VP Creative, responsible for overseeing creative communications across its West Coast offices and building the agency’s writing discipline for clients including Apple. Previously, she served as creative director at 72andSunny, where she helped to reunite Allstate’s 'Mayhem' character with his former 30 Rock love interest, Tina Fey.
“space150 is audacious in ambition yet methodical in execution. I appreciate the balance of head and heart, especially at the intersection of advertising, design, and innovation. I’m most looking forward to growing a diverse, multidisciplinary team that solves problems in defiant and magnetic ways,” said Paula.
