Preston Spire Hires Its First-Ever Chief Marketing Officer

On the East Coast, Kimble’s leadership resulted in standout work for brands such as Brawny, Bridgestone, DirecTV, Georgia-Pacific, Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly-Clark, Timberland and Tylenol. In 2011, Kimble returned to Minnesota, where he joined Periscope. There, he led business and brand strategy for clients including BASF, Essentia, Hefty, Intuit Quickbooks, Minnesota Lottery, PEMCO, Phillips Distilling, Toro, Trolli and UnitedHealthcare.

“I’m thrilled to join Preston Spire as CMO,” says Kimble. “After spending most of my career working for holding companies, I’m excited to join an independent agency with a unique brand purpose and vision for growth. Brand leaders are looking for creative partners who are agile critical thinkers that can deliver sustainable growth. Our approach aligns brand purpose with marketplace performance which is a winning combination for all brands. ‘Good Wins’ is a virtue; a competitive advantage I can’t wait to share with more like-minded brands.”   

Kimble has delivered positive results for clients demonstrated through multiple honors including 4As Jay Chiat Awards, Cannes Lions, the Clio Awards, D&ADs, Effies, London International Awards, One Shows, the Webby Awards, and more.

“Victor is at a caliber that will unquestionably take our agency to the next level,” says Jennifer Spire, Partner and CEO of Preston Spire. “He has an impressive agency pedigree with extensive experience in both brand and business growth strategies. He aligned quickly to our Good Wins vision, and I strongly believe he will have an impact here, in our community, and with every one of our clients.”
