Sue Kruskopf, CEO
Sue is our Queen Bee. Having spent the early part of her career working in a large agency on national brands, Sue decided it was time to offer clients something they’d never seen but always wanted. So in 1988, she opened the first of a new breed. It was founded on the philosophy that the best work happens when you bring senior talent together; nurture a culture free of big agency B.S.; and give everyone the freedom to solve problems in new ways for clients. To this day Sue continues to bring an entrepreneurial spirit to Kruskopf Coontz. Exemplified by the smart, creative people attracted to work here. She also provides strategic and creative insight on all accounts and new business efforts.
Bill Coontz, President
Bill is our fearless leader. He brings a wealth of agency and account leadership experience from his time at Bozell, BBDO, Martin/Williams, and Campbell Mithun. Today he applies his experience to offer clients something more than they can get at any other agency. He shares a belief with Sue in developing an agency atmosphere that allows talented people to solve client problems in new, creative ways regardless of the area in which they work. This leadership style has led to huge successes for KC’s clients. Bill continues to provide strategic insight and management on all accounts and new business efforts.
