Springfield, MO (PRWEB) September 10, 2013

Today, deep announced a valuable addition to its advertising team: Account Executive Drew Kifer comes to deep with a wealth of retail marketing experiences. Kifer spent 5 years with Clorox®, where he served as associate marketing manager for Clorox 2® and Clorox® Professional Products as well as business insights manager for Clorox’s Cleaning Division. His work there helped Kifer develop an important skill set, which deep Partner Valeri Lea believes “will play an instrumental role in the agency’s continued expansion beyond foodservice marketing into retail food marketing.”

A Bolivar, Mo. native, Kifer’s experiences with persuasive advertising are both well rounded and long running. He is a Drury University alum, and his strong educational background is highlighted by leadership roles in Drury University’s Students in Free Enterprise organization, now known as Enactus. Kifer served as the project leader for a variety of high-profile local projects. Such projects include a successful rebranding campaign for a long-struggling business district in Springfield, Mo. His work for the Commercial Street district ultimately resulted in the formation of 20 new businesses in just 5 years for the now-thriving area.

Throughout his career at Clorox, Kifer continuously produced measurable results for the company. His involvement was crucial in launching Clorox’s first ever non-bleach hospital disinfectant. “When Drew contacted us about his move back to Springfield, we were immediately impressed by his résumé,” said deep Partner, Creative Director Dan Stewart. He added, “We are excited to apply his versatile skills and talents to food merchandising, and with his remarkable track record, we expect great results. Drew’s flexibility and resourcefulness are already bringing an added dimension to our marketing work, particularly in food retail.”

Lea, Stewart and other leaders at deep consider the addition of Kifer a victory for their clients. They are confident his drive and determination, along with his history of success in persuasive advertising, is sure to bring continued strong results for deep’s clients in retail food marketing.
