Background

About Jill King

An accomplished advertising and communications professional, I have an exceptional record of winning new business while retaining and growing a blue chip client list, building highly effective teams and leading transformational change in an increasingly competitive and dynamic category. I led the practical and cultural integration of three firms; a digital/technology firm and two traditional brand advertising agencies to form One Advertising. In our first year of integration the new business team I led won Union Gas, Heineken brands and the Ripley’s Aquarium businesses. One Advertising became Sandbox Advertising in 2015, merging interests with four other firms from New York, Chicago, Kansas City and L.A. Prior to my leadership at One Advertising/ Sandbox I was the President of Due North Communications, a Toronto based brand advertising agency.
