Rokkan's New LA Leadership Team


Brian Veasey is jumping from SK+G to head up Rokkan's Los Angeles office as general manager and new business director. He will focus on growing Rokkan’s creative offering on the West Coast and developing local client relationships. 

This is a new position developed for Veasey and is the first time the agency has brought someone into the company to run the LA office with his kind of  experience in business development and account leadership, says John Noe, CEO/co-founder, Rokkan.

Veasey will be joined by Rokkan creative directors Bill Carlson and his brother Billy Veasey, who moved from Rokkan’s New York headquarters to lead and grow the agency’s creative capabilities.  

The new leadership team follows a series of new business wins including Cadillac REI, Pantone, and Eyeconic by VSP. The agency has landed 20 new clients this year, also including Café de Colombia, Hallmark, Veuve Clicquot, and William Grant & Sons.

Rokkan LA has produced a batch of digital content for Cadillac, including work that debuted as part of a splashy new campaign (developed in partnership with sibling Publicis Worldwide) during this year’s Oscars. 

"In the past, the LA office has been more of a satellite studio, but with Brian, Bill and Billy on board, the path forward is to establish LA as a true standalone agency," says Noe. “We’ve built so much momentum in 2015 and 2016 that goes beyond the wins and new work; we've made giant strides toward redefining our core capabilities and role as an agency. We believe that the new leadership in LA will really help us take what LA’s already done to new heights."
